My Leafs fan friend was telling me that the only way Matthews signs for 5 years was for a cap hit under 10M lol.

Hahah man, he was way off.

 

Meanwhile the Senators have committed 7.5 M until 21-22 for NHL superstar *checks notes uh, NHL forward Bobby Ryan.

Will be tough to extend Marner under 10 million a year. I’m curious to see how that’s going to play out now.

I forgot how sensitive you get when people troll the leafs.

Is 4 forwards for 40M a viable way to build a team? Feels like Nylander is gone for prospects/someone on an ELC this summer.

Marleau will be on his last year of 6M too. Kapanen will be an offer sheet target as I doubt Marner would sign one.

Doesn’t Marleau only make like 4M in real money? He’ll be easily moved IMO. Ottawa will probably be interested given that they’re going to have a hard time reaching the floor and his cap hit exceeds his salary.

Ya I’m not 100% sure. Says his cap hit is 6.25 million. If they move him and Zaitsev in the offseason that would be nice.

[Slot Machine]

Doesn't Marleau have a no-trade? If he retired they could maybe move his contract then, otherwise I think they are stuck with him.

4.25M salary next year.

[GoldBull]

4.25M salary next year.

 

Plus he's due $3M in signing bonus in July. Paying out $1.25M for a $6.25M cap hit sounds like a pretty attractive piece for a cap floor team.

[Spanky99]

Leafs and Matthews agree to a 5 year contract extension!

 

Love it, nice pics at the game yesterday, me jelly!

How disgustingly rich are the Leafs that they can pay 95% of this contract in signing bonuses lol.

Same thing with JT, they're loaded.

Naw no salt, go leaves go, but it sucks the Senators are sewering out without a 1st rounder at least right?

Pretty sure Marleau has a NMC. I don't see him agreeing to a trade, unless it's to somewhere he really wants to go or it's a serious contender. I don't think Ottawa is either.

Ottawa might might actually be the worst run team in professional sports. It's actually reached the point of hilarity though.

There's going to be a lengthy lockout over this.

He'd likely want to go back to the SJS' if this were the route Toronto goes.

[P2F]

Wait, so the cap hit is significantly smaller because of the signing bonuses?

[BTS]

No, the cap hit isn't affected.

[Spanky99]

No, I thought that too, when they signed JT, but it's really player protection/insurance if they ever go through a strike or lockout.

It’s also taxed at like 15% instead of like 50% or whatever his salary is taxed at.

[Krylian]

Marner's agent has come out publicly to state that the Leafs have been lowballing Marner with offers. Sounds like this negotiation could get a tad nasty.

That's a nice perk for players, holy s***.

I hope that's just posturing, as you say, could get ugly. What a dick his agent is for leaking this now, f***ing goof.

 

“That’s probably the best contract in the National Hockey League,” said Darren Ferris, the agent whose client list includes Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner. “There’s no team-friendly discount there”

 

“So far they’ve been trying to lowball (Marner),” Ferris said. “That’s the reason we’ve come to this point.”

 

“Nobody else is taking a discount. And now you’re asking (Marner) to take one again? It’s nonsense,” Ferris said. “Mitch already did them a favour on the entry-level deal.”

[tafkasg]

Hah you win, but once the Leaves don't show up and somehow lose 4-2 later today you'll be sorry. Er.

Pretty douchey after saying they don’t want to negotiate during the season.

He's blaming the low-balling on not negotiating mid-season.
