Lucas Neilson: Brian Burke thinks Auston Matthews will leave Toronto
Thoughts?

- Lucas.Neilson

Grain of salt considering the source, but if his name isn't on a new contract heading into year 5 he needs to be dealt to recoup assets. If he had Coyote bed sheets good on him for wanting to go home, but that doesn't mean Leafs management needs to pull an Islanders and let him walk for nothing. Want to be here long term? Sign this.

No doubt they have big problems but if home is home to Matthews and he's a UFA and they give him the same money as everybody else is offering, he's as good as gone, especially if the team is ripe with great top picks on ELCs like the Leafs were when they signed Tavares.
- JohnFergusonJr

So Arizona will be able to offer him max signing bonuses in the early years of his contract?

Yes they do.

Cap floor is at 60 million as of today.

In 5 years, that could be 70 million.

Even if they spend "20 million" on bullpoop LTIR contracts to get to 70, they're still going to be spending 50 million a year on players.

If one of those players is Matthews, even if it's at 15 million a year, they would spend it on him in a heartbeat.

- JohnFergusonJr


If its a 15 million AVV they will have to spend 25 million a year his first 3 years.

There is a reason Arizona struggles to sign long term FA deals.

That will teach Marner not to sign his contract.

Only if we get James Neal, who we could trade back to Calgary for Lucic.

Saw Lucic get suspended last season for punching a downed Tampa player. The mind boggles at your suggestion.

Entertainment for all ages, Lucic would be for the old boys club, who stand up and cheer when the gloves come off.
