I'm not getting what you are saying.

Do you mean protection for the Leafs?

I think it still has to be paid - it's an over 35 contract.
- Atomic Wedgie

He wouldn't get paid if retired, but the Leafs would still have the cap hit.

Ridiculous projections.

I'm not a member. I just read what he had in his post. About $9.5 for 5 years and $11 for 8. They're both ridiculous scenarios.

But they're all saying that Point is gonna get $7.5 per year.

The entire media is trolling the Leafs with the garbage they say.

If Point gets an 8 year deal at an average of $7.5M per season, that's gonna be insane. What makes Tampa Bay so special?

I think Chabot has 8 turnovers already in this game.

Really nice passing there by Canada.

Ya, I'm still at 9.5 x 6 for Mitch. Point and Rantanen probably about the same but Point takes a little less for those Florida no-taxes.

It's ridiculous. I can't wait to see Colorado sign Rantanen to a 8 year deal worth $6.3 because that's what Mackinnon makes.

They don't have winter for 6 (frank)ING MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

Bill Ny with a goal and an assist today. 2 goals and 4 assists in the tournament.

Dubas is known to love ujuri’s way of thinking...that’s got to be a little scary for Marner.

Marners agent is used to dealing with The typical NHL GM. Dubas isn’t one...and wether you think that’s a good thing or not for a team it’s not good for Marner.

I’m sick of GMs playing it safe to appease fans and milk out their jobs as long as they can. If something can make your franchise better you do it even if it pisses off fans and players.

Canada's D team ties the game up.

International rules.

just here to say "(frank) the bruins"

oh and the raptors are good, so that means hockey is dead in toronto, according to that poster from last week
- BestRapperAlive

Hockey will never be dead...but the Raptors are doing something special here.

In years past even though they were good we all knew they wouldn’t get past Lebron and even if they did on some miracle GS would thump them.

They have a legit shot at this this year. Last nights game was something we haven’t seen in major sports in TO in a long time. Moments like those are why we follow these teams.

the Matthews contract muddies things. A lot of people/Fans have Marner > Matthews
so to them, it makes sense to have Marner up towards 11mil (x whatever)

imo Matthews is worth more, and not just a little bit. like a few mil

So the CFL doesn't count as major league sport. Damn those Argos ....

What about MLS Toronto FC's tittle from 2 season ago isn't good ether .....

Oh the pain of being a Toronto sports fan.

I hope Dubas sits down with Marner and explains that Toronto can offer him a house with a basement.

He isn't getting that in Tampa.

I agree, the media has spent years saying the Leafs can’t win without an elite center no matter how elite of a winger they have.

Now an elite winger is worth more? Please.

I’ll take Matthews all day. And Marner isn’t getting 11+ million on the Leafs.

A lot of the fancy stats put them on a pretty even ground, if we are still using those thingy's

Dubas is going to make moves. Expectations have gone through the roof since the team made such leaps, then added Tavares. Think most forget this is still a work in progress.

That said yeah there is going to be some significant changes. As there should be.

Going to just wait and see how this pkays out and what Dubas does.
- Roadrunner75

I thinks 2 assistant coaches are gone.
Johnsson and Brown get traded
Hainsey is resigned for 1 more year

- Atomic Wedgie

Should sit down and show him the money he's making on the side while in TO, and then bring in the ad exec's and show him what he'll be losing by signing or being traded elsewhere. ( and show him the naked pics of his mom when she was younger )

Go Leafs Go

Weird question:

Was Marner asked to play for Team Canada at this year's Worlds?

Marner is a great player.

But I like that Matthews plays C and does the 1 thing better than anyone in the NHL. Score the most 5v5 goals.
