I was making a joke ya turd.

Get Karlsson's Richard out of your mouth already..

It was a bad one.

And this one's not better.

Not exactly a crunch there. After Nylander 3 spots open, trading a goalie opens a 4th. And that will happen either trade or someone being claimed when sent down off waivers.

Now you go and look at a defence trade that could be a one for one but more likely we add in a couple pieces and open up more spots. Not at all a crunch or real issue to be terribly concerned about.

Nylander and Gardiner for Karlsson opens up a spot.

It was a bad one.

And this one's not better.

It's pretty good lol

A) Nope

B) Probably still worth it

Clueless

Nylander and Gardiner for Karlsson opens up a spot.

Terrible trade.. 3/10 would not recommend

Karlsson $11 AAV
JT $11 AAV
Matthews $11 AAV
Marner $9 AAV

$42 AAV in 4 roster players. GM of the year UG.

Yeah, good players cost money.

Probably just better off with a bunch of bad, cheap players. First team to the cap floor wins the Cup. Everybody knows that old trick!

Gardiner 6mil 50pts
Nylander 6mil 65pts
12mil ~115pts

Or Karlsson 11mil and ~70pts

Hmmm

Can you name one team that has 4 players under contract for $42 AAV?

I can’t....

Acquire Karlsson.

Do it.

DO IT NOW!
- Unholy_Goalie

Maybe he has Babcock bed sheets.

Those can get kinda crusty

And just like that, he disappears anytime math and common sense challenge his toddler views.

Both Washington and Pittsburgh have 4 players who combine for 32+ million per year. The cap always goes up. At one time, Pittsburgh had the highest paid players in the league and the cap was 69 million. They made it work. They won Cups.

.... so you can’t name one team.

How many teams in any cap era have dedicated over half of their salary to 4 roster players? Irrespective of what the cap was...

Leafs filled with bad cheap players?

The argument is just absurd. Wild swing in the opposite direction with no sense to it. Boom! Proof. Proven.

It's our fault for being so inflexible that we can't buy into his point of view.

Of which, BTW, I'm so glad we dodged the Tavares bullet and he accepted the Islander's much more lucrative offer.

32 million in cap space next year. It's not a problem. Stop pretending like adding another great player is a bad thing.

Your valuation of what Marner will get also sucks. Kucherov just got 9.5 AAV after leading the league in scoring. Marner isn't getting 9. And if the Leafs got Karlsson in a trade, they could extend him for 8 years which could lower his cap hit to 10 a year, especially if they give him the signing bonuses he wants that Ottawa won't give him. Same with Matthews. This idea that he's going to get 11 AAV right away without earning it is also asinine. Not to mention the cap goes up every year so the percentage of the total cap they take up will lower over time, as it always has before. It was only 3 years ago that the cap was 69 million. Now it's 79 million.

You really are desperate for me to "disappear" just so it seems like your poopty argument has any legs to stand on. That's twice you've said this and both times tasted your foot.

Answer the question Nikki. How many teams in the history of the salary cap have dedicated over half their salary to 4 players?
