He’s exactly the type of player Carolina needs, undersized and as soft as downy fabric softener. Brilliant move, Canes.

yeah, odd. oh well. i really cant muster up any give a shit about MM leaving. 10 years was a long enough time to give it a shot

I also dont need to hear how the Leafs will be worse…they might..but meh idgaf, the might be better..have to see all the moves.

Report: Hurricanes expected to offer Mitch Marner 7-year deal worth greater than $14M AAV

how high can he go, I think Mitch might get one bajillion dollars

im just here for the boning talk

[senstrolltwo]

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?

[senstrolltwo]

another comp for Knies is Wyatt Johnson, he signed for 8.4 x 5 years. he did have a little more proven success though

[senstrolltwo]

That’s like throwing a Molotov Cocktail in a couple of years. Do you really want him to leave as a UFA? Or an offer-sheet this year? Pay him now at $7M for 8 years, or pay him $11M in 2 years. Better to have the lesser cap hit in year’s 3 through 8.

Well thats if that number was possible. Which it may not be for 8 years.

some realistic numbers iv seen based on current and projected cap.

8 years at 8-8.5mil
comp players like Boldy, Slaf, Byfield signed in the 7-8% of the cap range
not all were for 8 years. its 7, 8 and 5 years

while its easy to say sign him now for 8 years at 7 mil, I doubt thats the number (anymore)

[senstrolltwo]

For a bit more cap flexibility, might be a good idea to bridge Knies.
go 2 or 3 years now would allow them to add 1 more decent bottom 6

Could be or Ducks loading up to also make a play for Marner and really go for it?

Big name players moving teams is kinda’ fun.

id be surprised if Marner went to the Ducks

if the Leafs know 100% they are not signing him, they should trade his rights

[senstrolltwo]

Rangers moving Kreider so they can make a play for Marner

Further to my lament, why can’t the Leafs get the best and brightest scouts to find those diamonds in the rough? They make more profit than any other NHL team, so they can afford to have the best scouting staff in the NHL. It doesn’t count against the Cap, just like coaches. Teams like Florida, Tampa, LA, plus others always seem to out-draft the Leafs. This shouldn’t be happening. When will this become a real priority, instead of lip service?

I dont see that they outdraft the leafs, I guess if you only really look at the Leafs then they look poor because the hit rates are not great, but thats every team.

If you compare TB and the Leafs since 2018, the Leafs have a much much better record at drafting.
Leafs reg NHL players Holmberg, Durzi, Sandin, Robertson, Knies
TB – Cole Koepke ..I think thats it. also who is is guy?

if you look at Florida, really only 1 player stands out drafted since 2018, Lundell .. also Devon Levi and spencer knight. but they have done a lot

The Kings for sure have drafted well, but they havent been good most of that time and havent won anything..the results are not there yet
