Dreger: Muzzin and the Leafs getting close to an extension

[Leaf Fans]

Numbers don't lie bud. Denial does.

Neither of those lie.

 

[deeb]

Only on opposite day is that valid.

Which doesn't exist so is therefore reality.

 

[deeb]

Neither of those lie.

Really? Because your posts seem to and you fit the criteria perfectly.

 

[dubey]

A poster is in denial that dubas overpays everyone and then lies claiming that's not the case.

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

 

[Leaf Fans]

Which doesn't exist so is therefore reality.

What are you whining about now?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Really? Because your posts seem to and you fit the criteria perfectly.

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

 

[TML Dynasty]

At the time of checking yesterday that was not the case but I see he scored a goal in the loss to Dallas.

Regardless, the second highest paid player barely scraping by for 10th place in points?

That doesn't add up which translates to being overpaid.

LOL

 

[Team Cozens]

4 x 5.85

Closer to 3 X 4.5 or Dubas is a complete idiot.

 

[bert]

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

Unreal!

 

[absolute garbage]

A 31 year old Muzzin is the type of player you thank for his services and let go. Heavy and heavy-footed players like him don't age well at all.

Leafs have good cheap young guys on the left side anyway.

Muzzin is a solid #2 defenseman. Would easily get Myers’ contract on the market. No one is signing him for 3x$4.5.

I see Muzzin as more of a #3 but otherwise I agree

Says the person with Jason Botterill as their GM

 

[Arthur Morgan]

awesome to hear. if he signed an AAV of 4.5M I'll be happy as hell

Lol....Skinner at 9 million?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Dubas paid Mathews, Mathews money. Edmonton pays McDavid.

Logic ?

 

[JeremyTB]

So basically the trade was just Kadri for Kerfoot? Big win for the Avs.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Considering Barrie would have returned a huge hull this summer if traded as a rental at 50% retention, no it was not just Kadri for Kerfoot.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Logic ?

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.

 

[Neutrinos]

Then you lose in the playoffs once it turns out that goals scored by other teams' competent 3rd and 4th lines against your league min junk go on the score sheet just like goals scored by your star players

Stars should be playing 25 minutes a game during the playoffs

That leaves about 10 minutes of ice time to split up between those 3rd and 4th lines

 

[Leaf Fans]

So basically the trade was just Kadri for Kerfoot? Big win for the Avs.

No, both basically and fundamentally, the trade was Kadri and Rosen for Kerfoot and Barrie with the Avs agreeing to retain 50% of Barrie's salary. It is all right here: Maple Leafs trade Kadri, Rosen to Avalanche for Barrie, Kerfoot - Sportsnet.ca

 

[Liferleafer]

Denial, denial, denial... So funny.

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

 

[dubey]

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

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

I'm not impressed with signing average players to long term deals

I think you swing for the fences with high-end talent like Matthews, Marner, Tavares, etc. and then fill out the rest of the roster with vets and youngsters making the league minimum

Recipe for disaster.

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
