With Barkov seemingly signing for roughly $6M, the Cats are going to find a way to keep Marchand.
Tell me again how no tax states aren’t a massive advantage?
Barkov? The fuck are you talking about.
Big reason Marner seems “greedy” is because 14 million in Toronto is terribly taxed. He’ll make 12 in Vegas and be way ahead.
I can see that being the initial goal. JT is the net guy, Nylander is the shooter, and the thing that line has always been missing is an effective passer which is pretty much what Maccelli is.
What that line will be missing is directions to their own defensive zone.
MAaccelli looks to the leafs 2nd line winger….according to Luke Fox of Sportsnet
Worst case, he’s Malgin.
Best case, he’s Kerfoot.
Same shit, different pile.
Ekblad staying in Florida. Pivot to Provorov if you can move Carlo or just get Marchand for $7-8Mx2.
Carlo was just acquired, he’s not going anywhere, even though he’s not that great. Leafs are already short on RHD as it is. They can’t afford to be down to just 1, Tanev will be in a wheelchair sooner rather than later.
Leafs will have to make Marchard very, very overpaid to come and it probably won’t be on a 2 year deal either unless they want a sky high cap hit.
At 37-41, not sure what Marchand will have left in the tank at that price to be worth it.
Who fucking cares?
They lost the series so nobody did enough.
They got closer than anybody else. That means with the correct adjustments (get rid of Tavares and Rielly) you can succeed.
So if you’re the free agent and want to stay it’s either offer up the big offer to the team or see you later.
Cap went up by a lot. Leafs are wasting a lot of money on garbage players. But get rid of one of the best players to “save” money so you can waste it on more trash like Matias Maccelli?
Btw if you think Colorado won the cup because of Kadri you are just fucking flat out stupid lol
7 playoff goals, 15 points in 16 games, 2 GWGs. And the Leafs got…? Kerfoot? Good trade. Bet they were hoping he would score 50+ points like you’re hoping Maccelli does. Keep lying to yourself. Or maybe it’s just the brain damage.
hr has Mitch at 183cm and Micelli at 180cm
one of these players is tinyOne of these players mitigates it by being a Selke nominated 100 point player and has more career playoff points than anybody else on the team.
Exactly. A nice young 50P guy signed for a year. If he works out great and if not oh well. GMs need to take a gamble once in awhile and safe ones are not worth getting upset about.
8 goals, 18 points, -13.
Great gamble.
BWAHAHAHAHA, bros acting like the 4 foot pass Marner made in game six couldn’t have been made by literally anyone in the NHL.
He got the puck because of his excellent positioning, quick reaction time, spun quickly to shield the puck, took a bump under pressure to make the play and got it to Matthews swiftly for a 1 on 1 chance.
He made it look easy, because he’s that good, but he got the primary assist in Game 6 for a reason no matter how badly you want to take it away from him.
I don’t expect a star but a 24 year old fast skating playmaker at 3.4 is fine for the price. If he fails, they can let him go as an RFA or try to trade him at seasons end. He’s the right age and has a decent track record for 2nd/3rd line scoring. He might be a flop, it’s perfectly possible, but the cost was almost nothing outside of cap and it isn’t a huge cap hit.
More like a single than a home run, but sometimes you need to take chances when you don’t have any prospects you expect to make the jump outside of one guy.
This guy fills none of the boxes the Leafs need to succeed in the playoffs. Even if he does reach his potential of 50 points as some are praying for, he doesn’t have the attributes or the skills the Leafs need to beat the Panthers. I don’t see a one-way, tiny, winger like this on the Panthers.
If they’re talking to Utah, they must be aware that Jack McBain exists. Make a bigger trade to acquire a guy like that who actually fills what the Leafs need.
You should look closer. Tiny, one-way, wingers with 0 playoff experience is a waste of cap space for what this team needs to have real playoff success.
Good thing they’re not keeping an over priced Marner then. He disappears in games 5 through 7 when the refs put their whistles away and the games become truly physical.
At least the new guy puts up 50% of the points at 25% of the cost assuming his new salary will be at least $14 mill.
Must be why Marner helped win 3 games against Florida with a GWG, and two primary assists on GWGs (one in Game 6).
Marner is going to look great holding the Cup over his head in Vegas, just like Kadri did in Colorado.
