Not at that CAP hit he ain't.

Primary assist machine.

Penalty killer extraordinaire.

Many UFA years being given up.

11.6 @ 8 years is fair.

It’s not just my opinion it’s the way it works.

https://www.spotrac.com/n...s/2019/cap-hit/left-wing/

Check the salary’s for centres and then look at wingers.

Ya.

...

If you still gone believe me I’ll list you some goal scorers salaries over “assist” guys.

- Santo_44


Just his salary, not comparing. We gave him money for an 8 yr term but he only signed 5 IMO

Ya

I'm a righty that plays left wing, I know how it works. Still be better if he was a lefty.

Not a goal scorer, not a Centre. Two biggest reasons for inflated contract. This is a known fact.

He SHOULD get between $8.5 and $9.5 but he'll end up between $9.5 and $10.5 a year.

Creates goals just the same. Could play center, that's on the coach.

UFA years cost money.

And a 5 year deal is stupid because then he could walk like Matthews can walk and like how Tavares walked.

Uhm no one is saying that.

Also take the bet, unless you want to prove to me you were just being a douche bag? Seems like that to me right now.

LEAFS SHOULD LOOK AT KHL D-MAN DARREN DIETZ

We all know, a big issue with the Maple Leafs is their Defense, and more specifically, a Right-Handed shooting one. We also know, they need some more players with some edge in their game. And we also know, they need to be sensitive to the Cap.

Enter Darren Dietz, is an interesting player, the Maple Leafs should be kicking tires on.

Defense -- shoots R
Born Jul 17 1993 -- Medicine Hat, ALTA
Height 6.01 -- Weight 213


Scouting Report: Dietz loves to play on the rush and is excellent in transition. Known as a puck-moving defenceman, he uses elusive speed and a high hockey IQ to find end-to-end opportunities and make life difficult for opposing wingers. He possesses a great first pass and also has a decent shot from the point. He is no slouch in his own end, using his stick to get into passing lanes and his frame to separate opposing players from the puck during battles down low and against the boards.

Here are his stats from this past season. Dietz lead all Defense in scoring, in KHL.

2018-19
TEAM: Astana
LEAGUE: KHL
GMS: 62
G: 15
A: 38
PTS: 53
PIM: 75
+/-: 30

Goals are luck , I too like Matthews, not sure he's worth millions more though. How about since AM only signed 5 years he should have taken a couple mill less maybe. Then we wouldn't be in this boat.

Gave him money like he signed for 8 IMO.

- Garnie


i hear ya.

if he came in at 10.25 for 5 years, you could probably get pen to paper with marner at 9.25; maybe have nylander for a little less too.

That's the difference difference between re-signing hainsey at league minimum and having the money to bring in a UFA at $4M/year.

Bill Ny is the best player on the ice for Sweden.

Would've been great if he played this way for the Leafs.

He's under contract for the 2019/2020 season.

But maybe next year, if he's a UFA.

If Kadri figured it out and if soft as poop Nylander was placed at center, Marner would be just fine.

Playing with Tavares upped his point total up by 30.

And I take it you've never seen him try to play centre? 'Cause he can't do it. Same way Kadri couldn't play wing when they tried to move him. Marner is 100% a winger and always will be.

Not his fault. He wasn't the genius that decided to put a LW with horrible face-off skills in the face-off dot with a blown ACL.

Tavares also had a career high in goals.

And players as young as Marner tend to have a jump in point totals as a natural progression of skill and understanding of playing in the NHL. Maybe playing with poopbags like Bozak and JVR was just holding him back from his natural potential.

Kadri couldn't play center for a long time. Got sent back down more than once because of it.

Oh so now points matter. I thought it was only goals.

Goals matter most!

But the guy who creates the goals, nah, (frank) him.

You are trolling here. You know full well being a winger he doesnt/shouldnt get that.

I love Mitchy, I really do. 10.16 @ 8 years...its a slight overpayment, and it frankes them in the 19/20 season till all this cap crap clears off for 20/21 season.

So now Marner can play center because Nylander?
