Proposal: Offer sheet Nylander

[Walt22]

Top 10? LOL.

Come on.

How quick leaf fans forget they were bounced by the Bruins, who got bounced by Tampa, who went down to the capitals..and that doesn't even count the teams that would boot them around in the West.. .but they are top 3. Hilarious.

I don’t look in the past. This season will be very different. Get ready!

Not it at all buddy
Every team can afford one player above 10m, not 2. Winnipeg can easily match a Laine offer sheet because all the other Jets contracts are cheap. Toronto put themselves in a horrible situation by taking on Tavares. Honestly, I don't understand the signing. That money was better spent on some defence...the forward group was already very nice

Ottawa will be looking for a new GM soon. You should apply

You obviously don't look at a lot of things. Leafs list a player who scored 36 goals and brought in a 11m replacement that scored 37. Beyond that...not much to fix their holes.

you obviously don't know much either.

Tavares replaced Bozak not JVR
someone else (Kappy, Johnson, Leivo) replaces JVR

so you get #1 center for #3 center and lost #2 LW and replaced him with another LW.

You can only hope right. All of you Leaf haters here are praying that they crumble and break.

I guess beyond the below average “37 goal scorer” you speak of...Toronto does not have much to look forward too. I have a good feeling it is going to be a rough season for the Leaf haters on here. Be prepared.

So ,your rationale is that :team A beats team B and then team A loses to team C , therefore , team C will beat (is better than) team B ?
Not a logical assumption,is it?

Holes? The only hole is the one you're diggin' with this argument! Not a Leaf fan? Then maybe solve your own teams problems!

No holes.

We will f***ing bury you.

 

[Sniper99]

Yes, I do. Love it when people think that all players want to get less paid just to win a cup. Hockey is their job, the main priority is to get paid.

You dont have a clue about the Nylander family and what they're looking at doing. Quit talking like you do, you're just a random poster. Just stop.

Very logical when it comes to trolling the Leafs.

So salty...salt. Boo hoo

Hope he is actually.

I'm not sure I agree with the Leafs fans who say that Toronto would match a 5 year/$40 million offer sheet. The math doesn't add up.

Sure, they've got the cap room this season, but after that things change dramatically. I've heard people projecting Matthews to ultimately get $9 million or $10 million a year. Also heard that Marner is looking for big money ($7 million, $8 million?). So let's assume that between Matthews and Marner they get $17 million. Let's also assume that Nylander gets an offer sheet for $8 million. That's $25 million for three players against remaining 2019-20 salary cap room of $31.5 million. That leaves Toronto with $6.5 million to sign a minimum of 7 guys. No GM is going to put himself in that position.

Sure, there can be other moves made and other guys shipped out, but then you're creating a new hole in the line up. The bigger problem is that the issue perpetuates itself going forward, throughout the length of, at a minimum, Nylander's contract.

Now, I'm not saying that other teams should send an offer sheet over for Nylander. As a Canes fan, I wouldn't do it at $8 million per season (maybe $7 million or $7.25 million) but I'd want to have Aho and Teravainen under contract first so they don't use that as a comp.

I believe you're including Nathan Horton's $5.3 AAV on the cap, but he'll be put on LTIR that season (or moved for a pick, with 1 year at $3.6 million salary). He's not on LTIR this year because it would cause problems when Matthews/Marner hit their bonuses, but that won't be an issue then.

There's no doubt it will be tight, but the organization has put a lot of resources into the Marlies and will definitely be leaning on that pipeline to supply some cheap contributors.

RNH is a bust.

Toronto is a way better team AINEC.

A bust hey? SMFH. try again.

 

[Sniper99]

Nope. He is a flop. Straight up.
