They should have just agreed on a 6,9m*6 years contract in the summer.

 

[thadd]

Wow! Leafs gonna score a lot more goals!
Note to sell: Remember that Toronto's GM actually has balls now.
Where does this put Kapanen on the depth chart now?

 

[1specter]

Contract is 7,5m*6 years (45m total) not 6,9*6.

NO. IT'S. NOT.

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Kadri-Johnsson
Leivo-Lindholm-Brown

Next summer, leafs will have only 12 players signed and only 23 M in cap space.

Matthews + Marner will take most of that. Lets say 20 mil.

So they will have 3 mil to sign at least 6 players to get 20 players on their roster.
Kapanen is among those 6 players and him alone will probably take over 3 mil.

Contract is 45m total so AAV is 7,5m*6 not 6,9. Cap hit in year 2-6 is 6,996,000

Let me be the voice of reason and answer:

Do people not know what the word pro-rated means? or better yet, do people not understand grade 6 math?

The AAV is 6.996, and the 10.2m hit this year is the equivalent to 6.996m since he missed ~31% of the games this year.

Proof:
26/82 = 0.31707317073
6,996,000 / 0.68292682926 = 10,244,142

So 6.996 = 10.2

The 7.5m number would only be valid if his cap hit for 2018-19 is 10.2m and if he played 82 games this season (not the case)

We can and we will.

 

[WesMcCauley]

NO. IT'S. NOT.

Yes it is. Thats the actually money he gets. His contract is worth 45m but he only gets 41,7m of it because he signed late.

Hail Victory

No i thought the same but its about 41.7

Who are you going to believe? Bob McKenzie or an Internet poster.

 

[Foppberg]

So where does he go in the lineup? Lineup beside Kadri?

 

[Jumptheshark]

I was by only 4k for what he signed for and one year

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Good deal.

 

[Mitchy]

Tavares-Marner
Matthews-Nylander (potentially Kappy here too)

Feels good, man.

 

[NoName]

I don't even think Nylander at $7 million is an overpayment, I think the bigger problem is that after the cap savings, he's at $7 million long term. It's not a big difference, but he sat out a third of the season and still got a good deal for him.



I think there's a big difference between Marner and especially Matthews vs Nylander. Matthews is pretty much the face of that franchise, I think they'd be dramatically less willing to let him sit out like what happened with Nylander.

You are not wrong about how both players are valued by the organization, but definitely Dubas projecting an image of strength and a willingness to negotiate extremely hard is a worlds better image to present when entering negotiations with both Marner and Matthews (and their agents) then an image of someone who can easily be pressured into folding, is it not?

@The Winter Soldier

Why do you keep changing the subject? This is not a Leafs infomercial.

We were commenting on negiations with Nylander and you spin it in other directions.

And as I said. I really enjoyed how Nylander and Gross handled Dubas to the last min. Can't wait to see how Marner and his reps can go to school on this negotiations. Makes for a fascinating off season next summer.

The team Nylander signed with is off-topic?

*ahem* Excuse me



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i thought the same, but he only gets $41.77M. If he signed in August it would be an aav of 7.5M but that's not the case.

 

[Daz28]

The Leafs get a manageable cap hit and Nylander gets a big year one salary. Dubas mocks social media insiders on twitter. Leafs fans laugh at haters in trade thread. Seems to me that everyone won today. Especially the 3rd place Leafs adding another star winger.

This isn't and never was about "today". How the $7M cap hit effects the Leafs down the road is what matters. Now, you can spin $7m into $6.9m, and claim everything is going to be fine, but time will tell. I'm sure all Leaf fans are just relieved, and completely sick of all the nonsense that has ensued during this, so go ahead and enjoy it today. This was the little fish that needed to be fried, so prepare yourselves for this on a nuclear scale next year. Apocylyptic!

Well it's not $45 million total, he signed a 6 year, $45 million deal, but lost a shade over $3 million from the holdout. So Nylander doesn't end up actually getting that entire $45 million, he just signed for the equivalent contract of that.

The way I look at it is that Nylander sat out a third of a season and still got $42 million or so. So Nylander only has to play 5.66 seasons and gets $41.77 million for doing so, which is about $7.37 million per season. I don't think Nylander did poorly here.

 

[SI90]

Very fair deal for both sides. If Nylander improves and becomes a PPG type player than it’s even better. In the long run I think TOR will be happy with this deal and I don’t think it effects them with Marner and Matthews.

How long are they on the books for Horton? That should be over soon correct?

 

[Cellee]

Slight overpay but a decent contract.

 

[connormcmuffin]

Next summer, leafs will have only 12 players signed and only 23 M in cap space.

Matthews + Marner will take most of that. Lets say 20 mil.

So they will have 3 mil to sign at least 6 players to get 20 players in their roster.
Kapanen is among those 6 players and him alone will probably take over 3 mil.

Cap goes up, shed Brown, Marleau and Zaitsev, there is a quick 15 millionish, promote from within, meh.

Leafs still have all their drafts, good prospect pool (not elite but depth), they have assets to facilitate creative deals.
