Artemi Panarin as a UFA for $9m???? he's going to be THE premier FA on the market he's getting 10x7 at least
Panarin has outproduced John Tavares over the last few seasons and Tavares got offers at $13M/yr. $10M for Panarin is a pipe dream.
He's been a top 6 player for 2 years on two different teams and brings more than raw points, so perhaps you are incorrect.
I’d love Ferland but anything more than 4ish million per is an overpayment.He's a 40ish point player who is receiving 2nd/3rd line tweener minutes. Perhaps I'm not incorrect.
Oh well. People like you said I was being ridiculous when I criticized Sutter and Gudbranson. I'll be right again, and you'll be annoyed when I point out that I'm right again.
If Benning signs Ferland here, it will be a bad contract.
Tavares is a C. Panarin is a winger. I would be shocked if Panarin got above $10M.
i dont think the leafs have all that much cap space considering who they need to sign this summer?Oh, I would 100%. That's a bloody steal for the Canucks.
I don't think they feel any need to make that move though. Toronto has tons of cap space, a lot of tradeable assets, and a lot of young cheap prospects who look close.
I actually think a team like Winnipeg is the team that is going to struggle to sign their RFA's more than Toronto. Laine, Trouba and Connor is a lot of cake.
Fine, look at Benn (9.5M) and Kane (10.5M). Panarin has outproduced both. $10M to me is the low-end of what he gets if he hits the open market.
Toronto has 5 million in cap space this year and they have to sign Mathews and Marner next year, I think that they signed Nylander to make him more valuable to trade. They are not letting either Mathews or Marner walk.Toronto is not dumping Nylander 50 days after a 6 year contract.
Benning is not smart enough to sell Tanev.
I agree with you, Kapenan would be better but the Leafs won't trade him as he'll be more cap friendly once he signs next year. I also agree that Benning won't trade Tanev but as far as the leafs are concerned he is our most tradable asset; Edler won't waive his NTC and Benning doesn't have the spine to ask him to.Not particularly interested in Nylander. If the team were to explore trading Tanev to Toronto (which they won't from what I understand), Kapanen would be the winger to target imo.
He's a ~50 pt player with top 6 mins. You're incorrect, again.He's a 40ish point player who is receiving 2nd/3rd line tweener minutes. Perhaps I'm not incorrect.

This has nothing to do with sutter or gudbranson. What are you even talking about.
Everyone is saying that it'll be an overpayment in FA, everyone. You're not making some sort of hot take..
Yet you still are... even if you want to split hairs.He has never come close to 50 points, so no, I'm not incorrect.
He's on pace for 50 this season, though that's thanks to a hot start in October. 14 points in 29 games since October is more where I expect he'll be at.
Yet you still are... even if you want to split hairs.
Regardless of your thanks to ________ his pace remains, as does his top 6 production. Like I said, thats worth 5m. Which is what this was about before you derailed it.
But for your sake, a ~45 pt top 6 player for 2 seasons who hits and fights is definitely worth and going to get 5m yr in 2019.
I still get a chuckle that the Oilers actually offered MORE to David Clarkson and he turned them down (and signed with the Leafs).Yeah I mean when you consider that David Clarkson got $5.25M, 5 for Ferland is perfectly reasonable.
