Around the League 2019-2023 Edition

[Preston]

Coulda had him at 4.5m per for 8 years yeah

Coulda had him at 4.5m per for 8 years yeah

And there’d be 5 years left now, putting him fully within the Matty Willy window.

 

[zeke]

in 5 years the cap will be like $110m.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Leafs’ financial advantage should be coming back now. There’s so much money coming off the cap and the cap increasing that we should be able to add several studs to the roster over the rest of the big boys’ careers.

Losing Marner in this context would be so fucking stupid btw. Hoping the extension talk rumors are the accurate ones and not the trade rumors.

Wait what?

 

[Wayward DP]

Follow a few of the smarter Oil fans and in their opinion has done more harm then good considering what he inherited

He did a lot of dumb shit and murked their cap a fair deal but the Ekholm trade almost makes up for all of it.

 

[Artnes]

Argument is he should have had 2 or 3 cups right now with what was handed to him

 

[CH1]

oils are in cap hell on steroids
Need a genius to navigate their way out and extend their window past 12 months

Holland built a team that if McDavid has the best playoff of all time, still can't win. Can't take that away from him.

 

[Preston]

Nurse and Campbell were big mistakes. Everyone else is movable. But man it's amazing how he turned that organization around in the last year and a half; they were irrelevant clear pretenders for the entirety of Mcdavid's career until the Ekholm deal. I have a hard time giving a gm too much shit that just did that. There are some fairly obvious solutions to the cap issues but we'll see how he navigates around this.

 

[leafman101]

This move was always happening either way. Jackson is McDavid old agent. Knobauch is his old coach. its the McGM era.

But Holland had a handful of good moves and did most things pretty bad. Their drafting was horrible.

Wonder if one or both of Campbell and nurse will be bought out.

 

[Preston]

The benefit is, giving a dude in Edmonton a NMC is as meaningless as it gets. They'll always waive. And they'll do it enthusiastically. Nurse can be moved imo. And tbh a guy like Tre would probably love him.

 

[Leafin']

I’d rather Holland than Bundy.

Holland over the Fraud as well.

Still won’t be enough to keep him. He’s coming home when that contract is done
