Please stop with the PLD.. I would not want him at 100% retained.

y'all ready to see cody ceci hoist a cup?

Why is he going to scoop in when one of the Panther players drops it?

Apparently hyman didnt leave for money.

aka ...it was about the money.

..."but when that door closed" ....means that the Leafs didn't put enough $$ and/or term on the table.

It doesn't really matter what it was about for ZH. The Leafs management (frank)ed it up.

The #LeafsForever did offer Zach Hyman an 8 year extension to remain in Toronto but ultimately the deal wasn't comparable to what he has agreed to with Edmonton.

Yeah. He left because they didn't value what he brought. Good on him. Just another of the big Dubas mistakes. We got Michael (frank)ing Bunting instead.

I like details. They (frank)ed it up ...not b/c they didn't want him ...but b/c they had spent all their cap space on some "other guys".

I don't agree with you on much outside of hockey, but this take is 100% correct.

PLD is a dead end. Parallel move at best, at best.

Does that mean that Dubas didn't even offer him a contract?

Ahh, so it was about money

Or more if he hits free agency
- Canada Cup

The 12M is the amount of the 8th season he can get only in a sign and trade. And, no, he's not making that extra 12M up in a 7 year deal somewhere else despite what you keep saying. You're literally the only person in the hockey universe who believes that. He's overpaid as it is already.
- fifty__missions

Sure he could.

There will always be a team that will pay a bit more for him in FA than the Leafs will be willing to give him.

I mean just look at what the Leafs paid JT to come home to TO...

And it's not like it's going to be his last contract. He's still allowed to make more when the 7 year deal ends...

It's always about the $$booty ...or the booty.

We're simple that way.

sound like the Leafs ah Dubas offered him 3.5M over 8 yrs.

Sure he could.

Ok. All professional hockey analysts I've heard - the ones who actually know poop and get paid - all say the opposite. You and CC can knock yerselves out though! 👍

is the guy they had to ship out with a first round pick to move him ?

Lol. That's exactly right. Watch any crime tv series or movie. The motive is one or the other.

IF they had resigned him at what Edmonton paid him lets not pretend many people wouldn't be on here losing their poop saying how overpaid he is, how he "took Dubas behind the wood shed" etc.

He was NOWHERE near the player in Toronto he has become in Edmonton - he had hands of (frank)ing stone in the playoffs here for years! The Oilers paid him on a contract that has some JT vibes to it in that towards the end some will hate it but they are loving it early in the deal when he is producing.

Leafs moved on and couldn't afford to take the gamble Edmonton did. It's also a bit funny how the Oilers Cinderella run has seemingly erased the Campbell signing from memory. Oilers gambled on 2 Leafs and only 1 panned out the other guy is in the press box for the cup finals after initially being touted as the new starting goalie.

Every GM hits some singles, doubles, triples and the odd homer but also strike out, even the mighty Oilers.

Inflation has hit EVERYTHING. (EVV REE THING!)

This includes free agents.

All of these guys are gonna sign at numbers that are way too high.

You can book that. Whatever you think a UFA is gonna demand, add $2m cap and another 2-3 years term on it.

Sure he could.

For clarity ...he's saying if the Leafs can do 8x12 ..some other team isn't going to go 7x13.5 to match. I'm not sure that's true but that is an important variable.

And JT took less to come home - I know hard to believe but it's true. 7x13M from the Sharks and the Isles were reportedly willing to at least match the Leafs and go 8 years. So really 10-15M less to sign in Toronto.

There were (a few) people in here who wanted him kept. They were the same people who wanted a core piece moved like 4-5 years ago. 😉

It was the Core5.

So Marners is retiring after the 7 year deal ends?
You realize he makes more per year on the first 7 years then signs a new contract one year before the 8 year deal would end.

And I like how you deflect from the JT overpay... as if the Leafs are the only team capable of doing that.

Lol. That's exactly right. Watch any crime tv series or movie. The motive is one or the other.

Do I have spell this out for you? Ok. I will.

He's not making 12M per on a new deal 7 years from now.
