TML? More like FML, amirite? Yet Another Off Season Thread

[JackBurton]

Would estimate It will be up to Matthews what happens with Dubas. If he won’t sign quick come July 1st, then dubas is gone and matthews will ok the replacement that he’d sign with.

This is exactly what will save Dubas. They seem to have a great relationship. Firing Dubas might be a very bad thing to trying to sign him.

Mackinnon hasn’t resigned yet. They better trade him.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Why would they fire Dubie right after he wins a cup? Makes no sense.

Mackinnon hasn’t resigned yet. They better trade him.

where did this responce come from? Saying I think Matthews will control Dubas’ stay here. He can use his contract negotiation if he wants dubas gone next summer.

til there are actually people on HFboards that think we miss the playoffs.

Very possible. If goaltending sucks and Matthews is gone for the year ....

There are some extremely smooth brained individuals over on that board.

Goaltending sucked last year. We got 115pts.

If the goaltending gets worse somehow and Matthews misses the entire season, we're a bubble team at worst.

Ya leafs played at a 50 win pace with that shitty guy from Carolina, some kid who isn’t even an ahler and Jonas sandqviststrom combining for an 821 sv pct. Even if Murray flops they’ll be in the hunt.

The Leafs have built a reputation for handing out all sorts of signing bonuses, and front loading contracts. They did so with the likes of Kasperi Kapenen, Andreas Johnsson and even Nazem Kadri. All of which were traded shortly after the Leafs paid bonus. More recently, they did it with Calle Jarnkrok who signed a 4-year, $8.4M deal. Of Jarnkrok's $8.4M, just over $5.3M will be paid in signing bonuses, making his contract easily movable if things don't work out the way the Leafs have planned.

Interesting.

So, 25% of their season was Ottawa Senators level and the rest was historically elite.

Cap hell


Are Islanders last?

 

[hockeylover]

Way too much fuss made over the Matthews/Marner deals.

 

[Habsy]

Tavares was the mistake.

Kadri retention was what they should have done IMO.

 

[leafman101]

Cap hell


Are Islanders last?

Nope,

 

[leafman101]

Even Tavares though. On a 7 year $77 million deal, if he provided $74 mill in value at the end of the day that is a fuck load of value. Its just slightly inefficient. But that was the cost of acquiring an elite center.

And that is ignoring the first 4 years which may have produced positive value. Tavares provided $11.6 mill in value this year.

 

[leafman101]

Jarnkrok signing may end up looking pretty stupid though.
