Salary Cap: Are we really happy to have Matthews and Marner signed?

[Magick93]

Let it be known that OP hasn't posted on the boards in almost 10 years and never on the leafs board prior to this.

Safe to say this is just someone speaking attention who hasn't watched a game in years.

The answer though is unanimously yes, we are really really really really happy to have Matthews and Marner locked up long-term.

Well you should watch the Leafs, they should have an exciting team this year. I too am glad they have Marner and Matthews signed but their signings are not long-term. McDavid signed a long-term deal. Their cap hits would be reasonable had they signed 8 years.

And I think you are wrong. But hey you do you, keep up the complaining about having a team with several super stars.

He's not a Leaf fan

I watch the leafs every game for the last 5 years, thanks.
5 and 6 years sounds like. Long time to me..

A better poll would be whose shtick is worse, TWS or TMW?

I thought they were the same person

 

[Walshy7]

I'm not even going to answer this poll, it's so stupid.

there is nothing better than elite cap space.

How disappointing is it when you go the league standings and you see the leafs with $0 in cap space

TMW is not even close to TWS bad, TMW is extreme in his views but he will talk rationally about them. TWS moves the goalposts so far they change sports, NFL goal posts become soccer goal posts with him

Depends on the post season success. Regular season points and scoring don’t mean much IMO

Regular season means alot to me anyway. Think of how you feel after a win, think of work the next day after a loss, and listening to the phoney Sens and Hab fans.

Habs are heading to their third straight season with tons of cap space 9 million per roughly.Lucky them. Missed a playoff spot by a couple of points. But kept their options open. Jeffy Molson was happy I guess.

Not as disappointing as being just above the cap floor. Plenty of elite capspace for some floor teams. I bet the fans aren't thrilled.

The poll results tell you all you need to know.

Shut this the f*** down.

 

[horner]

Yes iam happy to have both.

 

[qqaz]

Cap space can't win a hockey game.

Shame on me for asking your opinion?

We just had an entire summer full of this shit. As somebody who really enjoys reading the opinions on here, this board was becoming unreadable at times pitting Matthews and Marner against each other. And I know I dont have to click the thread, respond or even come here but I really do enjoy the commentary from a lot of people here. I look at it this way. They're both now signed and they're both probably overpaid but we still have an amazing team. Isn't it just time to enjoy the season? Or maybe it's me who's wrong

 

[mikeo1]

Why do some people insist on making these stupid threads?

 

[ImpartialNHLfan]

Im happy to have them here. But im not very happy that star players feel the need to be paid a premium to play here. It use to be an honor to wear a Leaf jersey.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Lol... cuz Cap Space wins Championships

We have: Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, John Tavares and William Nylander locked in for the next 5+ years, and people are still unhappy

That stopped being true a really long time ago. Just ask Dave Keon.

 

[Nithoniniel]

It would be so great if we had $11M in cap space. You can pay a superstar forward with that.

Shut this the **** down.

Agreed
