Read Giroux is about to sign a $9 million per deal.
Oh boy..
Scared of what Kessel might end up getting. At this point $7m per is most likely a minimum.
If Kadri progresses like I think he will, he should turn Kessel into a 40 - 45 goal scorer.
If Kessel is putting up 40 goals a year for 7.5 million dollars I'll be a happy Leafs fan.

$7.5m seems fair for a PPG player like Kessel.
Would be absolutely thrilled if we get him under $7 million per.
If we can lock Phaneuf, and Kessel up for a combined amount of about 12.5-13.5 mil a year I think we would all be happy.
Side note, would anyone do a deal around Tom Gilbert for Clarke Macarthur + Holzer? Minne gets some help on scoring and we get a RH d that could play in our top four.
What kind of a d-man is he? He can put up some decent numbers, but right now we need hard nose, stay at home type defenders.

If we can get them at 14m I would be happy. I'm expecting 7m+ for each personally.
He is, exactly what he's always been. A physical defenseman, with a booming shot. He's just learned to pick his spots with his hits and has become way better positionally.
6.5x8 looks good for Phaneuf and kessel. Maybe kessel getting 7x8
For Phaneuf too? I think he'd get more of a caphit similar to Edler, Burns, then Suter and Weber?
Especially if you construct it properly over 8 years.
Suter makes 80m over the first 8 years, would be a cap hit of 10m. Weber is 96m for would be cap hit of 11.5. Edler and Burns are honestly just friggin steals Even in a cap crunched world, the stars still get paid. 7m still isn't even 11% of the cap, it really isn't all that bad.
Im well aware. However if you put the work into you can do it. Mueller is doing well in Florida atm.
I guess thats all true, but I still dont see him getting 7 mil till he's 37...

Wish the Aulie/Ashton deal never happened. Aulie is the defenseman we are lacking now and I bet he would be thriving in the Carlyle system. I think Ashton will be passed quickly on the depth chart when Biggs turns pro.
