Dreger: Muzzin and the Leafs getting close to an extension

[Michel Beauchamp]

It is very simple logic. Mathews plays for Toronto and thus negotiated his contract with Toronto making that Matthews' money while McDavid plays for Edmonton and negotiated his contract with Edmonton making that McDavid's money.

So no logical link to the post you quoted.

OK.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Honestly, who cares? If Leafs fans are good with Leafs contracts, why are non-Leafs fans so concerned about them?

I agree. But if honest, you'll agree that the poster I quoted was in denial.

 

[Neutrinos]

That's a good way to run your stars completely into the ground by the middle of the 2nd let alone third round and have them be giving up breakaways to the Dominic Moores of the world.

Most teams that go to the finals usually have their 4th line buy a couple games for them outright not even getting to special teams or in game physical impact

No, because by playing stars 25 minutes a night, my team would sweep the 1st round, and therefore have plenty of time to rest before the next round begins

I really should write a book

You should, we could all use a good laugh. And we might not even get to laugh at Toronto in the payoffs this year the way things are going

5.5 is slight overpay, but you get a team friendly term.

Tyler Myers just got 6 Mil AAV. I dont understand how that's an overpay?

 

[Liferleafer]

I agree. But if honest, you'll agree that the poster I quoted was in denial.

No, i won't agree....i don't speak to how other posters feel.

 

[Liferleafer]

Well I mean what would you rather do: Concern yourself with Leafs contracts or watch the Habs?

Touche.

 

[93gilmour93]

And he's not even in the top 10 for points....

Ummmmm he's 9th in league scoring but please keep going

Everyone "overpays" everyone as the cap goes up each year. The Leafs living rent free in your head clouds your judgement though

Matthews contract being a gross over payment lives rent free in your head causing you to make excuses.

 

[deeb]

What are you whining about now?

Nothing.

The only whining going on seems to be from toronto fans over an opinion that doesn't match their own despite the evidence proving otherwise.

 

[deeb]

No, that is your poor interprative skills. Did you make up criteria for something?

I'm sure you have the ability to look up what the definition of denial is.

Matthews is an overpayment but not a "gross overpayment". The same way Panarin is an overpayment.

At most those guys are making ~$2 mill too much but Matthew's or Panarin at $9.5M would be great contracts and nobody would complain. Both of them should be around $10.5M

John Toews is a gross overpayment

Does being wrong ever stop you from making points?

Yet another non-Leafs fan making posts about Leafs players contracts...they should make a sticky thread for it.

It really is amazing how much other fans worry about our contracts! Lol.

[Leaf Fans]

Nothing.

No, wrong again. You are 0-3.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I'm sure you have the ability to look up what the definition of denial is.

Of course I do. It obviously doesn't apply to me in any interaction with you

 

[ponder]

Hope we re-sign him. We’ve got an abundance of LHDs, yes, but I love what Muzzin brings. Terrific hitter, good defensively, pretty good offensively too, just a rock solid dman. Anything around 5 years, $6 mil per year I’d be happy with.

If we do sign him, though, a trade is coming. One of Rielly/Dermott/Sandin, hopefully for an RHD.

I HIGHLY doubt he gets 7 years Matthews and Marner didn't even get 7 years

I think it depends on what Muzzin wants. Matthews and Marner have shorter deals so they can walk to UFA quicker and cash in. Muzzin won’t be seeing as big of a payday plus he’s already UFA. But I do doubt that Dubas would want to sign him that long, so you’re probably right.

Marner at 6 years isn't short, and Matthews wanted 8 years - Dubas is the one who pushed for the shorter term.

Muzzin will get 4 years

He didn't have a choice. If they went longer Matthew's cap hit jumped. They couldn't have afforded Nylander if they gave Matthews 8 years.
