His qualifying offer after starts at 8.4 million and 1 year before he hits ufa.

I'm just arguing with AA cause he brought Nylander into it, I don't even know who this Barzal character is

Pay more for goals.

Barzal is better and plays premium position yes. But he signed for more $ less years and coming off 60 pt season when the cap isn't going up for years.

If you want barzal at 7mil should be a long term deal.

60pts in 68 games.
With no real scorers around him for 100gs more signed 2 years later.

Back to back 60 pts season with less than 20 goals.

Nylander scores over 30goals and 60pts and he sucks.

Facts mean I hate Lou?

But, but, Marner.

Actually, burn brought nylander into it i believe

I'm gettings ads of hot women golfers. I didn't even ask if that's a thing because of course that's a thing. I've never golfed in my life, Google Ads. It must be because I'm a Leaf fan.

Yes thats why marner got so much.
Was paid more for goals.
Ideally, im sure theyd wanted barzal on a 5 year deal.
Too much uncertainty for the isles.

Nonsense.

I just dont like the low term and still risking losing him or overpaying with the QO.

Why give Martin and Johnston long term deals and not give Barzal more years?

Burn did.

They also put too much long term money into depth and 2nd,3rd liners.

I'm okay with it

Value contract wise in my opinion.

He scored 90+ pts going into his contract year, and then followed up with similar.

Barzal got 80, then dropped to 60pts heading into his contract year.

Good call.

Marner will be better over the long term imo

Exactly this. The term sucks but Lou didn't have much leverage to sign him for longer at that rate.

They may have. But thats another issue
Glad its theirs

People on here shat themselves cause Matthews signed for only 5 years, crying about term

But now term is overblown.

Lou also almost put even more stress on their long term cap situation with almost getting Parise...Does not make sense to add so much long term cap to lesser players and not give yourself a chance to go long term with Barzal.

Thats just my point.

Cap is very fair for 3 years....but a bad deal when you consider why they couldn't go 4-6 years.

Cause it wasnt a pandemic
Cash per year was a little high
Matthews is a leafs
Barzal isnt.

- Zezel

He already is I think. One has 1 80pt season and then fell off to 60s... The other has a 90+pts season and followed thst up with similar.

Nylander at 7.5 and Marner at almost 11 is bad.
