Looks like Marchand is going back Florida.
Big surprise.
Kyper is saying Kadri is coming back to Toronto.
Florida only has 4.9’million left in cap space after signing ekblad and 18 guys signed. Going to be tough for them to sign Marchand too.
Friedman is reporting that they are closing in on a 6 year $32m deal – so $5.3m . . . 6 YEARS? He’s 37 now, so it’s a 35+ contract that isn’t really buriable and will count against the cap for all 6 years – if he retires at 40, there’s 3 years of $5.3m against the cap. Yeesh. That’s a . . . commitment.
Vegas doesn’t mess around. They know what they want, then get it, then they discard what they’re bored with.
Exactly why the Leafs, with their infinite budget, should have thrown the boat at McPhee to jump ship as President of Hockey Ops.
Instead, we got a retarded Shanahan for 10 years and now his flunky assistant GM who ran Calgary into the ground and is going to do the same here.
Big surprise.

Hyper also said he doesn’t know how Marchand doesn’t wind up with the Leafs, so he’s an idiot.

If they win one more Cup in the next 3 years, they won’t care. Cap will probably be at 115-120 million by year 4 or 5.

Well he was probably right because Marchand used the Leafs as leverage so the Panthers gave him a 6 year deal. If they didn’t, he’d probably abuse the Leafs for a 3 year, 7.5+ AAV deal.
Players, if they’re smart, always use the Leafs and the media as a leverage point and it usually works.
They’ll have to be creative (and so will Marchand) b/c if they dump Rodrigues they’ll have 7.9M with 10F, 6D and 1G. A goalie, a 7th dman, and an 11th fwd is going to eat up $3M minimum so Marchand would have to be under $5M. They’ll just sign someone else if he wants to get paid and they’ll add another big name at the deadline to fit under the cap.
Not too creative, they’d just have to make the deal longer to lower the cap hit so they can squeeze in league minimum veterans like Pacioretty looking to win a Cup on a stacked team.
They’ll have no problems getting the lower line-up filler if they keep all their big fish.
6 years for a 37 yr old is pretty damn creative. lol … Sounds like they got the AAV down to 5.25ish.
Fuck, Provorov staying in CBUS.
