Disagree and the oddsmakers disagree as well. Leafs are second choice as of right now, and rightfully so.

How can anyone believe that nonsense? They have two of their core players going into the last year of their contracts, unsigned. They've already lost Schenn and O'Reilly to Nashville. Accari is still not signed. Bunting is gone. So how does this improve the team? It makes them weaker, as of right now. They still have the millstone Murray around their necks and they're slow off the mark in free agency. What could go wrong that some AHL'ers can't fix? Treliving = Tire Fire!

That contract is simple.

Take home in Toronto: roughly $2.1 million after taxation

In Nashville: $2.835

$735K difference x 4 years

A $2.94 million total

And people still don’t question why the majority of the highest paid players in the league are Canadians on Canadian teams for some reason.

Yeah it's the ONLY think UFA look for. They call the accountant to figure it out. Why have an agent?

It's definitely an issue that's hard to solve. They could do a Matthews and have their residency set up in a U.S. state and be paid in signing bonus with a minimum base salary. If this doesn't get figured out, we'll never see another Cup winner from Canada. Bloody communists in Ottawa.

That plus he becomes #1 C on Smashville, he would have been #3 or at best #2 with JT on LW. Doubt the Leafs would have offered 4 years regardless of the $

So 750 K this year and if they want to re sign him if he hits his bonuses he will cost like 7M for the oilers

This is what happens when you have one of the weakest FA classes in a decade.
Spenders gonna spend. I don't mind that Tree is staying out of it, for the most part, but he's known to overpay, so I'm a little worried he'll empty the bank for leftovers towards the end of next week. We will see!

They have a take home amount they’re after and they choose the deal that hits it.

If you want to continue an argument about mathematics against someone who designed bridges prior to his epilepsy using poor English please, go ahead.
