With Nylander's multi-year, NMC deal done, the gauntlet has been placed down. After next season Mitch Marner and John Tavares will be UFA’s. Having 4 forwards tying up close to $50M of the Leafs cap would appear to be unsustainable if they are to build any kind balanced/contending team moving through the 20s.
Marner’s talent and age point the decision to all come down to the captain…Sloop John T…
Is it possible Tavares takes a hometown discount? Yes. He has made a lot of money, and is the only diehard Leafs FAN who can actually play a part in the return of Stanley to Yonge Street.
But what kind of discount are we looking at here?
Should the Leafs do it?
Should Tavares?
Will they?
Back with rumors later. The murmurs are starting ro feel more an more like trade deadline fodder this morning…
