- MaximusAurelius

Yeah no.

Again. Strongly disagree with you as per usual.

- MaximusAurelius

Yeah no.

He overpaid Matthews and Johnson by $50.00 over the length of a 4-5 yr deal, that means he should overpay marner by $3mil (or more)


If our gm ate paint and wore a helmet he couldn't do worse than what you're proposing

Hey MiB how about a new blog.
Feedback on draft picks & what's
the latest on trade possibilities

"we can and we will"
best GM ever..
- MaximusAurelius

And if/when he does?

I'm sure that won't shut you up though.... He hired a woman so he's a terrible gm.


Bring back Lou to overpay everyone

Yeah no.

i am not blaming you for not understanding how this works.
A matthews contract of 13mln AAV for 8 years would have been way better for the Leafs than his current 11.634 AAV on 5 years. it's an overpayment by Dubas. the 5 year deal should have been around 10mln AAV.

meh.

marner has the worst agent in the league. no need to settle. his clients always cave. he looks stupid with empty threat after empty threat.

Wait a minute, now Johnson is overpaid? LOL

On an 8 year deal, Matthews is worth 13mln AAV.
Marner 12mln AAV.

on a 5 year deal, Matthews signs at 11.6.
So Marner should come in somewhere between 10.5-10.9 AAV on a 5y deal.
Leafs are offering 10-11mln AAV on a 8 year deal.
quite obvious why Marner is looking at offersheets.

You do realize that Johnson scored 20 goals and had 43 points in 73 gp getting just over 13 min of ice time. And that was with being stuck on the 4th line for a significant portion of the season hence the 13 min of ice time. His deal is decent and so is kapanens...if they are legit.

But go on let's trade him and Kadri for faksa and hintz. You probably loved the Steen for stempniaak deal too when it happened

I'll give Max credit for predicting how good marner would be and by what age while others laughed at him, namely dozzer, but he really has to get over his anti nylander and Johnson shtick and proposing deals for inferior players. And his whole anti dubas shtick is just as bad. Dubas is aa big part of Keefe being in the organization, and why we have signed guys like Moore. While the Matthews deal may be too much for too little term, he is still the franchise. No matter how much Mitch thinks he is.

And before you say anything max, I do know how good faksa and hintz are....and I would take Kadri over faksa and Johnson over hintz in a heartbeat.

he is 24y old and just managed to crack the NHL roster.
Hintz is better than Johnsson by far.
And I would take Faksa over Kadri for sure - Faksa is a guy that is capable of winning a Selke award - one of the best 2 way C-men in league (Bergeron-Couturier-O'Rielly-Barkov and then Faksa in a group with Kopitar and Toews).
And that's not even taking into account the capspace created by such a trade.

We have different preferences - and I wouldn't argue you over the Johnsson vs. Hintz (even if I feel strongly about Hintz being by far the superior player).

I do think you would have to look a bit more into Faksa though - the guy is an elite 2 way forward - employed heavily in a defensive way.
He could be a poor man's Couturier (meaning 20-30 points less with equal defensive abilities) at a way inferior AAV.

A late first? Wouldn't be cashing that idea just yet. Let's see what Kyle does for the rearguard position with all that recovered cap space. Then Leaf prospects for the upcoming season will be more defined

Faska will be a 26 year old RFA next year, he makes 2.2 and his top season of 33 points would make him a fourth line centre on the Leafs. To suggest he is even remotely close to Kadri is ridiculous. Put down that jug of Rioja down.

He's a guy that is employed Ina defensive role( same as kadri) but produces wwaaaay less than kadri.

But Faksa is better.

Kadri on a great deal, thirty goals twice, decent on faceoffs, reasonably good defensively, meanwhile JT Miller is traded with a much worse contract, produced way less on the leagues top offensive team but got Tampa a good first (maybe a lotto pick) Plus. But we should trade Kadri for a journeyman bum that is under control for one year.
