TSN, SN said he wasn't going to Toronto prior to July 1st, so these articles make sense. And Larry Brooks is a New York guy.

The point is, TSN/SN don’t know poop. They make up stories for clicks.

Uh. I was talking about Lous success with the Leafs vs Dubas’ success with the Leafs.

And wut!?!? Yeah, Lou getting Kadri and Rielly to take sweetheart deals really hurt the Leafs..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Those were good deals but Marleau and Zaitsev are making almost as much as Tavares next season (10.8).

The Czech player dove 3 times on the same play there.

So annoying hearing the crowd whistle all the time. Just boo like a normal person.

Marleau was a bad deal.. we all know it was a retirement package. Zaits isn’t as bad as people make it out to be..

But Matthews at 11.634x5 is a bad deal(he should have got more term). He wayyyy overpaid for Needlander, and he’s about to overpay for Marner. Yeah he let Polak, Bozak, Martin, Komarov leave, but as I recall they all made at least the second rd, and one is going to the finals. Stats aren’t everything, heart matters more, culture matters more. Can’t build a winning culture around a guy scoring 7 goals on a 7mil contract.

You're nouts, he needed to let guys like Martin, Komorov and Polak go. What is Dubas supposed to do? Give Komorov 4 years? That was a crazy deal by Lou.
And I can't take you seriously if you are arguing a franchise 22 year old Centre is a bad deal, but Zaitsev isn't.

And Nylander is not way ovetrpaid as Lou proved with the Nelson deal.


Pay your top talent. DO NOT overpay for 4th line plugs like Martin and Komorov. Martin was in a suit his last year in Toronto.

Lol reading AA's comments are cringe.

Good lord.

I didn’t say he should have kept all those guys, just that they were character players who don’t score a lot of points. Matthews deal is fine, but they should have got more term, show me another player making that coin on a 5 year contract.. I said Zaits isn’t as bad as people make it out to be, he had a good playoffs and has dealt with a ton of emotional poop this past year. But Willy scoring 7 goals on a 7mil contract is good.

Mmmk.

You’re not even connecting here, your trying to say I said things I didn’t. You’re triggered because I don’t like Nylanders contract.

10% isn't that much of an overpayment.
i have no problem with the contract AAV per se - i just think he should have traded nylander or sit him out whole year if not signing before 15th of Sept.

WE won't nowhere further with any of those guys. We were paying 2.5 million per for Martin to sit in the pressbox. Trust me, Leo's contract is shockingly bad. No other team would have given him 2 years.

We have a coach who overplays guys like Komorov at the expense of our top players. His "Toys" have to be taken away.

Matthews will get 100+ points and 50 goals in a full season with with the 22-23 minutes per game he should be getting. Litterally McDavid is the only player who is better than Matthews per 60 in the NHL.

That's because Nylander had better stats than Pasta at the time they signed their deals.
Brock Nelson is a 40 point forward making 6 million.

Canada scores early in the 2nd.

2-0 Canada now.

He could. And he’s a very good player.. that doesn’t mean it’s okay to only give him a 5 year deal.

Not a fan of Babs coaching, it’s probably why you guys hate Zaitsev so much.

K, WUT??!?!??

Pasta had 35g 80pts in his contract year.

Willy has 20g 61pts in his contract year.

Where’s your fancy TSN articles on that?

If you’re done, take those little lap-dog b!tches like Leafguy, Peter21, and Crack67 with you. You said quite possible the most ridiculous statement we’ll ever see here. “Willy had better stats than Pasta”

Lmfao. Take the L.

Pasta had 70, not 80. 80 was the sesason after he signed his deal. Nylander has slightly better PPG and 2 60 point seasons.

Nylander is wortg it. Relaxe and enjoy his career year next season. He just had a historically good WC.

3-0 Canada.

You’re debating hockey with a guy who thinks we should trade Matthews to Ottawa for Tkachuk and Chabot.
It’s a black hole of stupidity man. I won’t go there anymore.

Will probably be a boring game. What with how good the Finns are at trapping.

Crazy how Russia's literal Olympic team, minus a player or two, lost to Finland. Finland is playing their system perfectly.

Finland would be hard up against it vs Canada but they did it vs Sweden and Russia so who knows! Should be a good game regardless.

This sounds an awful lot like “people are saying”

Sounds familiar 🤔

You saying Tavares was coming to Toronto regardless of the GM is just what some guy said too, mang.

There's a belief Nylander never deserved that type of deal compared to Pastyrnak. Let's take a look:

Pastynak:

2014-15- GP 46, G 10, A, 17, PTS 27 TOI: 13:58
2015-16- GP 51, G 15, A 11, PTS 26 TOI: 13:57
2016-17- GP 75, G 34, A 36, PTS 70 TOI: 17:59

PPG: 0.72

Nylander:
2014-15- GP 22, G 6, A, 7, PTS 13 TOI: 16:20
2015-16- GP 81, G 22, A 39, PTS 61 TOI: 16:01
2016-17- GP 82, G 20, A 41, PTS 61 TOI: 16:41

PPG: 0.73


And Pastrnak's 6.6 when signed is actually a higher cap % than Nylander's 6.9.
