some people get ranty when you post simple facts. its nothing to get worked up about. UFAs get offered contracts based on thier reg season production.
players who score 38 goals and 74 points get paid accordinglyThe simplest of facts is that the Leafs absolutely suck at building a winning hockey team and far too many people support their methods of stupidity.
It is a fact that both Mitch Marner and John Tavares will be given contracts that wildly overpay.
The only debate is whether or not the Leafs are the ones giving that contract to Tavares (Mitchy is so far gone, I can’t even see him).
The difference being that Marner is at least a two-way player, entering his prime and Tavares is about to be 35+.
Marner, having more career playoff points and 5 straight seasons of 100 points per 82 games, is the better way to spend money.
Vegas will be very happy with Marner. He’ll be raising the Cup like Kadri did before the Leafs ever will again.

interesting theory. Ek just sabotaging his site it seems to me. How can he not know what is going on

Corry Perry at 34 scored 5 goals and was always injured, Tavares just scored 38. is a Center and still a point a game.
I agree once JT is a 10 goal 30 point player, he should be getting 1mil deals. but thats not reality for him right now.JT has been exactly what you expect over the 7 years. If you were expecting awards and scoring titles, thats probably on you
Congrats on Tavares scoring 38 regular season goals at 34 years old. How many playoff goals did he score at 34 years old? Oh, the same as Perry? 5? With a 10 million dollar difference in salary? Wow!
Corey Perry, at 34, played 27 playoff games, scored 5 playoff goals and made it to the Cup Final. What did Tavares do against Florida? Oh right, disappeared offensively and sucked balls defensively.
Corey Perry, at 35, played 22 playoff games, scored 10 points and made it to the Cup Final on a Montreal team that beat the Leafs after they collapsed and blew a 3-1 series lead.
Corey Perry, at 36, played 23 playoff games, scored 6 playoff goals and made it to the Cup Final on Tampa Bay, that also beat the Leafs.
Corey Perry, at 38 and 39, went to the Cup Final with Edmonton, scoring a total of 11 playoff goals and 17 playoff points.All those seasons without ever making more than 1.5 AAV, sometimes as low as 775K.
I can guaran-fucking-tee you Tavares won’t be playing 119 playoff games with 28 playoff goals from 35-40, especially at 5-7 AAV a year. Why is that a guarantee? Because from the day he was drafted, up to 34, he only played 75 playoff games with 28 career playoff goals. He couldn’t do it at his best, he won’t be doing shit as he approaches 40.
If a player is the 2nd highest paid player in the NHL, there should be some kind of success otherwise that’s definitely on stupid management.
He can have his regular season stats, he’ll disappear again like he did against Florida. You keep defending a player who absolutely sucks at living up to his hype. Have fun.
Holy poop, What the hell is going on at the old site?

time will tell who is wrong … in your mind I’m wrong, in mine, I’m correct.
Time has already proven you, among many other Leafs fans and the Leafs management wrong.
When Tavares arrived he was the 2nd highest paid player in the NHL, in his prime.
What did he actually accomplish in 7 years?
No awards. Didn’t lead the league in anything. Won one playoff series. Lost seven. Less points than every other core player. Biggest defensive liability too.
How the hell can anyone possibly think he’s worth another chance at 35+ if he’s making anything more than 2 million a year as a pure passenger depth piece?
Corey Perry is the model for how Tavares would be useful to a team going forward. But not at 5-7 million a year. Not anymore.
