Speculation: MacKinnon: “Barrie is getting at least $9M”

[A1LeafNation]

Wonder how much Sakic paid MacKinnon to say that.

 

[jetsforever]

These guys can say whatever, doesn't mean it'll happen

 

[tucker3434]

It’s a plausible number, but he also wasn’t ever going to short his buddy on a podcast.

Barrie was an Av at that time.
Also Mackinnon didn’t say it. Bissonette did. Mackinnon simply said “he deserves it” in response to Bisonette’s joke.

this couldn't go into Barrie extension thread?

Toronto is so f***ed. Their cap is going to be tied up in like 6-7 players on their roster by next offseason. Absolutely insane.

This is why I feel Nylander is in for a monster bounce back season. It is do or die for him if he wants to stay a Leaf, otherwise he is an easy cap casualty.

 

[Henkka]

More interesting is, that when Barrie will be 9M defenceman, Morgan Rielly is quite equal with his production.

Prepare for +10M Rielly after his cheap 3 seasons.

Best GM in the league, that MacK.

He prefers being called “The Dogg” but whatevs

I wish my employer consulted with my best friend about my salary...

and we will still be fine, dont worry about it!

 

[TGWL]

Why wouldn't he? Barrie just had a great year and is now on a team with great offense through-out the line-up. He's putting up a monster year again and will be getting paid for. He's going to be a rental in the sense that he'll probably end up pricing himself out of Toronto, but will be too good to trade at the deadline with the leafs deep in a playoff picture.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Maybe, only so much money to go around. There's a lot of good upcoming free agent defensemen (Pietro, Josi, Barrie, Spurgeon, Muzzin etc.) that will be looking for that retirement contract.

Is the same cap hell as we were promised this summer?

 

[Spirit of 67]

I bet they are.

 

[alg363636]

Someone will probably give it to him if he has a great season but it won't be Toronto.

That someone will not be happy in a few years I reckon.

 

[JT Kreider]

I mean.. Marner is still unsigned. So yes as of now you're in cap hell.

Also trading away 1sts to clear cap space is the definition of cap hell

 

[Hansen]

He can get it, but it won't be with the Leafs or a contender.

He can get it

Got it.

Thanks.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

We can and we will

LOL

 

[JT Kreider]

Got it.

Thanks.

So you agree?

 

[Muffin]

In a world where Kevin Hayes gets 7M, you can bet a team will give Barrie 9M in free agency. Right handed OFD is what half the league is looking for.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

He can get it

You can get it

 

[Sam Spade]

Unless he goes insane this season, I say 8 or slightly under, but not 9.
