We’re Boned

Lebrun is saying that 5M for JT is unlikely given the comparables out there (Brock Nelson’s 7.5M, and JT’s career is better).

Brock signed a 3 year deal.
I think Tavares will get a 5 year deal from the Leafs to lower his cap hit to 5~5.5 ish cap hit

At least the Bennett to Toronto talk will die down now. We knew that shit wasn’t gonna happen.

so you are saying the Leafs are signing Ekblad?

Agreed and good.

Now I just need Marchand to sign somewhere else so that talk of him coming to the Leafs can die too.

I also think JT needs to take 5M per or less or the Leafs should wish him well with his next team.

I can’t wait until the drama around Marner, JT, Marchand and Bennett is done.

I mean as Leaf fans we are all tired of some of the talk, I am guessing fans of other teams are ready to drive a rusty nail into their ears because they have to keep hearing it.

I refuse to get too high or too low based on what the Leafs do this offseason. I’m at the point where I’d be fine if they took a step back for a season to really try and fix the salary cap distribution issue they face to get that balanced roster that elite teams have and is proven to be needed to go deep in the playoffs.

Agreeing to pay a winger over 13M per year on a long term deal when you have one at 11M already and a centre with a 13.25M cap hit and an underperforming dman who you most likely can’t move making 7.5M isn’t the way to try and fix this problem. Even if your gaining back cap space of the half or more of the 11M they paid to JT this past season.

The deal for Tavares will likely be a front-loaded six year deal like Tanev’s, expect $5 to 5.5m AAV

I’m thinking the same thing Mike.
One poster will loose his pOop over it.

im just here for the boning talk

Guys, should I invite UG to the discussion?

Meh, Bennett was never coming to Toronto anyways, so that makes no difference. Marner walking give us a fuck ton cap space for the first time in forever. Get Knies locked up, negotiate something fair on JT, and then let Tre cook up the rest.

He’s probably already typing, the post will be finished in about a half hour.

Bouncing between ???? forums ????

And what’s with the logout glitches?

The logout glitches are weird. On my phone using Brave, I just refresh the page and it usually logs me back in.

We’re boned.

1000%.

It keeps saying I am logged out when I go to reply, but when I refresh the page it says I am logged on. Weird. Some kinda cookie or tracking hiccup.

This site needs to get a LOT better. Unusable with all the ads and login problems.

When does the boning start?

Ah yes…many moons ago when I became a Leafs fan.
