[Barrie22]

Doesn't seem like a resolution will happen soon

Every other GM in the league, we want you to take a short term rfa contract. Dubas in toronto. 8 years or nothing take it or leave it.

He did give Matthews a 5 year deal but seems to not want to do that with Marner.

Lol wtf a 5 mil offer to laine? Are they trying to make him angry?

That's a joke right?

I think the Jets are pretty notorious for low balling their RFA's. Does not surprise me in the least. I know Trouba always thought he was better than he really is but was still lowballed a bit. Now Laine.

Laine has 3 consecutive 30 goal seasons while in his teens. Offering him less than Meier is nuts. Are they gonna pay Kyle Connor more than Laine? Or do they think they'll get both of them signed for around 10 million total?

I'd be insulted if I were Laine.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I'd be insulted if I were Laine.

He's been playing in Winnipeg so far in his career. He's been in a perpetual state of insulted. This should be nothing new.

Provorov's overrated. I know he plays big minutes for them but he doesn't seem very effective.

He probably doesn't even truly know how insulted he's been. I mean, the crappy wifi probably prevents him from reading all the social media insults.

Marner signing for 6 years worth 10.8 million. ouch. Leafs now have 3 players making over $33 million combined. I am curious how the cap situation works because prior to this deal it says the Leafs were over $85 million. Now they would be at around $96 million.

Over 10M of it is fake. They are guys who will go on LTIR as soon as that is set for the season, but they do have to make some moves.

Winnipeg Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien granted leave of absence

Jets' Byfuglien granted leave of absence from team (not injury, "nothing sinister").

Apparently Tampa's latest offer to Point was 3 years worth $5.7 Million Per

Damn. That just made the Jets offer to Laine look good.

 

[Barrie22]

So 52.9 million spent on 10 forwards next season. 5 million on 1 defensemen. 5 million on 1 goalie. 2.25 mil in injured reserve money. 1.20 in retained salary.

66 million spent already next year on the cap for the leafs. Say the cap goes up 2 million again. That means the leafs have 17 million to sign 5/6 defensemen. 1 Back up goalie. 2 forwards.

The leafs defense next year is going to be reilly and a bunch of rookies. Since they won't be able to afford barrie at his 6-7 mil per year he will probably ask for.

Barrie is asking for 8 and he's getting it unless he decided to take a discount.

Barrie will be 29. This will be his last chance at a big contract. I don't see him asking for anything less than $8 million per year unless he has a brutal season.

They'll probably lose Muzzin too and that's gonna hurt. But they'll lose Ceci too so maybe addition by subtraction too
