2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

[MyNameIsJonas]

They are both slloooowww.

Im told slow wins in the playoffs now.

 

[Leafin']

Nic Roy 10 career playoff goals in 79gp

Marner 13 goals in 70gp.

Not much of a downgrade at 1/5 the cost.

 

[zeke]

if we come out of this with Leafs paying $8m for Roy and Hague and the Knights paying $12m for Marner then lofuckingl.

 

[zeke]

western canadian media absolutely loving Marner all of a sudden.

Even paying Hague $3 mill makes no sense.

 

[Leafin']

What happened to the Karlsson Rumor?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Fuck these better be untrue.

 

[Feyd]

If it’s true he turned down 13.5x8 and there are teams “lining up” to offer him $14M+, why would he sign for 12x4?

 

[zeke]

no state taxes.

 

[Leafin']

12mil there is pretty much 14 here. According to that tax calc on capwages

 

[Feyd]

There’s no tax-free state team willing to offer $14M+? If Mitchy is going full greed then go for the max.

florida teams don't have space.

I doubt Seattle makes any sense. Nashville doesn't make sense and is capped out.

Dallas and Vegas need to create space to make it work and both seem to be trying. Dallas probably can't tho.

looks like vegas might be able to create that space by convincing some dumb team to take on it's expensive bottom liners.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Fuck just let him go and don’t take anything back then. I would’ve said take some picks in this draft, but not after the crap it looks like we’re taking.

So Mitch is willing to take a $2M haircut to help Vegas afford him?

it's not a haircut. he gets just as much take home pay if not more.

 

[LeafGm]

I’ll be surprised if it’s only $12M. Mitch and his people are petty enough that I think they’d want a higher AAV than Auston, regardless of take-home pay.

 

[Feyd]

Pride, Greed, Envy

 

[thehabhater]

Fuck em if he doesn’t want to be a Leaf.

 

[Leafin']

I wouldn’t take back anything. Fuck doing any other team favors

1st + 3rd lets go
