Powerplays in the past have shown how top end talents dont always mix on a PP unit
Id imagine thered be too much wanting the puck on that PP, cant have Rielly and Karlsson on the same d pair for it either.
Matthews Tavares Karlsson Nylander and Marner. Sounds delicious. Sign me up
Pittsburgh had 45% of their cap locked up in Crosby, Malkin, Kessel and Letang.
They just won 2 Cups.
Ya, we're all chomping at the bit to trade an insane package....and then hand out an insane contract. This rumor is stupid and has zero chance of happening.What percentage of the Leaf fans saying “lol eklund” and “don’t give this guy clicks” etc are actually furiously refreshing his site hoping for another update about Tavares or Karlsson? 99? 100?
Where do Matthews/Nylander raises come from?If they let JVR, Bozak and Komarov walk, there is enough cap room to sign one of Karlsson or Tavares. Plenty of young wingers are coming up and almost NHL ready.

And anyone who takes this seriously, even a little, needs to have their head checked.
Until we see what the players do with the escalator this year, and how a future Seattle team factors into projected revenue, its hard to tell. If the cap goes to 82 million it changes a lot if the escalator isn't used and it is at 78 they have no chance of pulling this off. The market for a Nylander type player seems to be what Ehlers and Pastrnak got, the same probably applies to Marner. Matthews probably gets between Eichel and McDavid.Where do Matthews/Nylander raises come from?
Or they all could take a reasonably priced contract to help the team.Tavares will cost around $11 million per or so Karlsson probably $12 million per both Marner and Nylander get around $6.5 million per or so Matthews probably $11 million to $12 million for any one of Tavares or Karlsson on top of Matthews and Marner and Nylander you're looking at close to half of the cap being tied up in 4 or 5 players.
Nylander, Marner, Matthews.
Pick one, trade the other two, and maybe you have a shot of having the cap space for either of those players.
Pick one, trade the other two, and your franchise is gutted if neither of those players decide to sign with Toronto.

Still have no idea how there is an Eklund Rumor thread prefix on this site
Cap is going up, and likely again in 2019.
Nylander and Marner will not break the bank on long term deals, Matthews will.
If the Leafs sign Karlsson then they'll let Gardiner walk.
Hypothetically, there would be lots of room to sign one of Karlsson or Doughty.
Nah. Just wait for free agency and keep Marner.I think Marner would be going to Ottawa.
Don't see Tavares as reasonable, but Karlsson could happen since Leafs need a 1D
