They won't take Benson. Word is they're high on Leonard. Tkachuk lite type player right now but very similar styles. Habs need another power forward.Slightly more cap% than Nylander got, but also get the 2 extra years. Those Caufield/Suzuki deals should work out. Its just too bad the Canadiens tank years will get them Slafkovsky and Benson or something instead of Cooley/Nemec and Bedard/Michkov/Fantilli.
The Leafs lucked out with their tank.
Not far off Willy's paces at the same age, with better goal scoring. Although smaller sample size. Willy signed for a $6.9m cap hit, or $7.5m if we average out the wonky first year hit. Now probably the best bargain contract of the core.Caufield
Age 19: 10gms, 41pt pace (plyff: 20gms, 49pt pace)
Age 20: 67gms, 52pt pace
Age 21: 46gms, 64pt pace
Best sport, worst league:

Aren’t the Jets owned by David Thomson?
They could lose $30M a year and Thomson could fund it by rooting around between his couch cushions.
He also sees the Jets as a legacy thing in the city he's from. He could float them forever. Never come between a multi billionaire and their ego.
I have a family member involved with charitable endeavours that sometimes used to put them into contact with uber-wealthy Canadians and the people around them.
And one story that’s stuck with me is he met a guy that was part of a team of five people who essentially worked full time as investment managers of about 1% of David Thomson’s personal fortune. And all of these guys were loaded enough just off that job that they had mansions, fancy sports cars, etc.
And this was even back when David’s dad Kenneth Thomson was still around and David wasn’t even close to the richest member of the family. Just absolutely stupid, mind-bending levels of wealth.
