Some GMs are (finally) starting to understand the salary and that losing a player with a large caphit might not be the end of the world.
He wasn't a taxpayer making a 7 figure salary back then. Canada is a great place to live if you're not made of money and reliant on a social safety net. If you're a multi-millionaire and you want to keep a larger portion of what you earn in your pocket, you're better off in the US.I mean, he only moved to Canada to play in the OHL when he was 16, but sure. He ain't coming to Canada.
That's really of zero relevance to Landeskog's reality in 2021. He might agree to play for the Leafs - if they overpay - but it has nothing to do with having played in the OHL a lifetime ago so that he could be drafted into the NHL at a high spot.I mean, he only moved to Canada to play in the OHL when he was 16, but sure.

Ouch, AOC/Sanders and the squad would NOT like to hear that.He wasn't a taxpayer making a 7 figure salary back then.

Their window is closing pretty fast, as they made the mistake to sign Matthews to 5 years instead of 8 years......
Why would Leafs want another forward ?
Seriously, try to fit another #1 dmen under your cap, trade one of your forwards to make it happen.

of course it was his choice...but Leafs were softI suspect it was his choice, he’s wants move to a sunbelt team.

The amount of assets they (Dubas and crew) have squandered to try and build a winning roster after killing their cap situation is mind boggling.The Matthews contract should of been 8 years
6% less than McJesus and team only bought 1 year of UFA
It all comes down to the JT contract .....not the player
One move created all the cap gymnastics moving forward for a team that never won a round in over a decade
You get JT when your ready to win not trying to assemble a roster after a gut job

It all started with the Plekanec trade at the DL in 2018 and ends with a 1st for Foligno, losing Hyman to FA, and Kerfoot to ED.
When looking at that timeline, there are some doozies in there. Can't believe they squandered a perennial contender and created a windowless capped out team which will likely lose AM in 3 years.
