He doesn't want his good buddy Keefe to be lonely on the 5 hour flight to Vegas tonight

Wow the amount of blame that everyone seems to have on one guy. Dubas will always have his hand in negotiations of contracts but reality is they would have been paid that by other teams.

- rebel_deucer


Here is the thing...Nobody else gave contracts like this out to their RFA's... Rantanen and Point were the glod standard for RFA's...Dubas overpaid for his 3 young players.. Signing them at market value would leave an extra $4-5 mil that would have enabled the leafs to get a solid backup and another decent 4-6 dman

Mitch Marner - $10.8 Mil
William Nylander - $7 Mil
Austin Mathews - $ 11.6 Mil

Brayden Point - $6.75 Mil
Mikko Rantanen $9.25 mil
Charlie MacAvoy - $4.9 mil
Mathew Tchachuk - $7 mil
Sebastien Aho - $ 8.4 mil
Brock Boeser - $ 5.8 Mil

Hutchinson going after the Stars kunt.

Lindgren got a penalty for being punched repeatedly?

Clean hit. Hit the guy in the chest.

Hutch would've gone up a notch in my books if he fought that guy.

AM at that price he should have gotten 7-8 years. It’s the best of both worlds for AM but not so much for the leafs.

And Dubai’s real chance to make a stand was WN. He blew it. If he didn’t sign, should have been traded or made sit.

So yes, he blew those 3 contracts.

Such a dumb narrative. The same people who criticize the Marner contract ignore the Kerfoot/Kapanen/Johnsson contracts.

Ok contracts.

Matthews’ cap hit percentage is lower than Malkin’s 5 year 2nd contract, and higher than Stamkos’. Seems right.

I have no problem with Nylander’s cap hit. The problem is Dubas could’ve gotten Nylander signed for that contract during the summer.

Not really.

Would Leaf fans do Kap for Andersson? Absolutely

Would Flames fans do Andersson for Kap? Unlikely

Does swapping Barrie for Frolik move the needle? Maybe it is giving up too much but its close.

Frolik isn't a scrub. The last two years he has been a solid 200 foot player.

Ugh.
Not the frolik talk again

Nah. Maybe Matthews by 634k. But not really. Definitely exaggerated.

You can deny all you want, but when the team is this bad with all those guys making the “market rate”, maybe our guys are not as good as you think they are.

And the point is other GMs are getting it done paying players less than the perceived value. Dubas isnt.

Nah, those guys are good. The D isn’t good, and the coach is dumb.

That’s your opinion.
