Absolutely. As you can imagine, I think we all wish it was $1m less, but let's hope for a big TV deal in a couple of years.

Reality is that he's really riding the coattails of the details you have provided.

Coach Q, 3 cups, that's the guy who should be running team Canada if Babcock had any shame and would step aside.

A cis title, a world Juniors, world championship, 2 Olympic gold and a Stanley Cup. What a scrub. He's no Travis green who's literally never won anything in his whole career lol

A shame Marner only took a 1mln home discount on the contract instead of the 1.5mln home discount Tavares took.

As far as the greed-o-meter goes:
1/ nylander
2/ matthews
...
...
24/marner
25/ tavares

What the (frank).

Nylander is bang on for cap hit. He's the least overpaid of the group. Marner is most overpaid. How in the (frank) is almost 11mil a 1mil discount? As it stands now marner is close to 2mil OVERPAID. suggesting he's on a discount is lunacy.

You're shtick is tiresome

I can't even begin to imagine the hard work that goes into trying to keep all the stupidity straight, trying to keep playing the same character day after day and not breaking character at all.

Looking at the numbers ...looks like Leafs will be rolling with 20 or maybe 21 guys all year. Big savings on press box popcorn.

Marner 10.893 mil, but he thinks he took a milly discount. 11.893 mil puts him 2nd in the nhl only 600k less than mcdavid.


But kucherov is scoring 40 goals and 123 pts at 9mil.

For sure. Might be some tricky stuff with Waivers b/c those cheap vets can't get up and down so easy. Maybe good news for the Bracco's and Sandin's.

And good for you on getting out of your room again! I'm sure by this time though the nurse has been by, fastened your restraints, and given you some sedative.

What a stupid discussion. Will these guys provide value for what they’re being paid?The answer is clearly yes. The value in the contract for the kids gets better as they come into their prime. The value for JT’s contract is now.

Marner and Matthews are the absolute core of this team and are being paid for it.

Not necessarily. If the leafs send them all down at the beginning of the season and no one claims them, they can call them up and send them back down without them having to go through waivers again if they didn't play in 10 games or spend 30 days on the roster. That's probably why they signed so many guys. If a couple get claimed, they still have a handful more to exploit that part of waivers.

Watched Dangle right now on SN...LOL.

Sums up pretty much everything all of the many, many Negative Nancy Leafs fans should try to accept - just for one.......single.......season.

Oh...and Brandon Pridham...he's a dummy, right?

So Shore, Petan, Aberg, Agostino, Holl, Schwartz, et al ....should all expect a few 29 day tours.

On the flip side ...Marlies should be stacked with vets.
