Value of: Tavares and de Haan package

[CREW99AW]

Tavares and Matthews both get 9.5 x 8.
.

There was a report, I think from Dreger , that he thought a team was prepared to offer Tavares $15m per.
Even if that offer was rejected ,his rep would use the offer to drive up salary from other teams.

Do not see Tavares signing for $9.5m and do not bother with the endorsement argument. Tavares is a union supporter and will not hurt the union or other players by leaving millions per season on the table.

Tavares would've needed to be on the Maple Leafs roster before the TDL for them to be able to offer him 8 years. Nobody other than the Isles can give Tavares that extra year.

Learn something new every day. Appreciated.

 

[is the answer jesus]

Hasn't he already said he and Karlsson deserved considerably more then Subban's $9m?


Oh let me guess...he will leave millions per season on the table,to play in Toronto?

Yeah bro because of all the endorsements. That's how they were able to lure Stamkos in too. Oh wait...

Would rather not bother with Tavares and trade a pick, like a conditional 7th for de haan's rights.

Also heard that while outside of the norm..a team could offer a 1 year 15 mill contract to JT, the follow up with a full 8 year contract at a more palatable salary.

As tempting as that 7th rounder sounds...
going to pass.
I expect some team will pony up a 4th.

It will be a 2nd if we re sign him. How bout that.

How about doing like other teams...trade and take your chances?

Don't want to take your chances in a trade? Then wait and hope he is available July 1st.

1. Players can say whatever they want but they have to actually get those contracts. Maybe he wants more from LA to stay and play there where as other he might play for other teams for a bit cheaper.

2. He may take less money to play for a great team. And to clarify I’m not saying Toronto is that team.

With the cap rising,I have little doubt that the top ufa Tavares will get offered well beyond $9.5m per.

And I expect next summer, that Doughty and Karlsson will also be offered huge contracts if they get to July 1st and have not signed extensions

They have absolutely earned that right to do so. I just think there are other reasons as to why they may take less on a contract.

 

[SI90]

For their rights? Nobody is giving up anything significant for a players rights.

The only way I can see it is if Tavares informs the isles he will not be coming back and he gets permission to talk to another team and agrees to an 8 year deal with that team who then trades for his rights.

Otherwise, just wait until the tampering window and take your best shot.

Tavares is about 2 spots too low on your depth chart.

Time will tell.
Meanwhile, fanboy Dreger reports a team willing to pay $15m per season.
The Leaf fans can pencil Tavares in at $9.5m- $10m on the 3rd line.
I am sure Tavares dream is the 3rd line and screwing over the union, by leaving millons per season on the table.

How could the Leafs afford Tavares, Matthews, Marner, and Nylander and still be able to sign a good defender or two?

Sit back and watch the magic

 

[boredmale]

Sit back and watch the magic

I don't think he signs in Toronto but if he did my guess is Marner and more likely Nylander are traded.

I also believe Marleau's contract makes it easy to trade him in the 3rd year so that would be a way to free up capspace for Matthews and Marner

 

[93gilmour93]

Why? The leafs could sign all 4

You could if you want to cheap out on your defense

That 15 million offer will probably be from montreal but still I can't see JT going there

The leafs have enough smaller contracts. With expiring contracts this year and the next 2 to open up that cap space I expect Rielly Dermott Liljegren and Zaitsev going forward with the other two spots open. Can't see Gardiner resigned. The leafs would be fine to work on the defense....

Can De Haan play on the right?
