7 year deal at 4.5 is bad for the Leafs in case he stagnates as a 40 point player.Good on Kap going for the bridge deal and not a long term deal at 4ish per year. He will get a nice contract after this one. Always love seeing players bet on themselves like this cause im sure he could have easily signed a 7 year deal or so at 4.5ish per
How come nothing is confirmed? this extension has been rumored for a couple days now but no confirmation?

If the leafs were in a better cap situation I'd be fine with betting on him, but they can't right now.Or a steal if he keeps on getting better and better. Those 4.5ish type deals are usually the going rate for his level and point of career.
I hope this gets confirmed soon so we can see updated cap situation for TO. Still obviously have Mitch and Andreas to sign and upgrades/signings on defense and other changes.
As of NOW, not including this rumored deal, is it 14ish in cap room?
Yeah. Not sure if that is counting Horton onto LTIR or not though. Brown will also be traded in the near future most likely.Or a steal if he keeps on getting better and better. Those 4.5ish type deals are usually the going rate for his level and point of career.

And yes, assuming Zaitsev is gone it'll be 15
They're waiting on Marner. Could be a long wait.Good on Kap going for the bridge deal and not a long term deal at 4ish per year. He will get a nice contract after this one.

That is how bridge deals work. It's the next contract that can hurt.That’s pretty much a steal. I thought they were going to have to give him at least 4 at that term. Fantastic move.
Will he be a UFA after 3 years? Hard to tell based on his NHL games played.
60+ points per game is an absolute STEAL for 6.9mNylander was overpaid by 500-75, that is not slaughtering the TML. Hayes slaughtered the Flyers, Skinner robbed the Sabres... These contracts are terrible, if Nylander gets back to 60+ points per game then contract looks okay, if he pushes 70+ its a steal. Furthermore if he can actually play C then its a steal and a half.
This may be a dumb question, but why do they need to wait to announce the deal? Not like it's going to change anything.
Meh, i took "more or less finalized" to mean done.Why would they announce a deal before its signed?

Ya, makes sense.If they sign kap, but then mariner gets an offer sheet that would put the Leafs just over the cap, they can’t actually sign it without ditching salary and every team would know the deadline they’re under so they’d have no leverage.
This way if market gets an offer sheet you can match it and sort out the salary/kap contract later without the hard deadline.
Still Johnsson!! I expect that thread to pop up shortly....So much for those offersheets...
