46 points last season......that's a lot of money they've tied themselves to for 3 years. Seems unnecessary. Wonder how much Babcock played into this decision.

Ooh I've got it...

The Leafs have so much cap space that they can afford to blow millions over the next three years. In so doing they raise the average cap hit and handcuff other teams! It's brilliant!

I love Marleau but thats a FUCKING STUPID contract. Lololololol

It's fine really. You just have to watch live (no delay) and carefully align it with the radio broadcast.

Alternatively you can just turn down the sound and use your imagination. It's what I often do. Admittedly, I do miss JK.. but my imagination is FAR less annoying doing color.

Nice that Blues and Hawks fans can agree on things.
I guess.

Pang is just fucking terrible. Can we send him and Eddie Olczyk to the Coyotes or some other shit teams broadcasts?

I would be completely fine with the money and NMC if it was 2 years. The third year is what kind of makes me worried.

The point of this is that now JVR (who was probably asking for 7x7) can be traded without losing his 25 goals.

Marleau: look at this contract offer

Kind of wish the Leafs did end up getting Thornton now, because if you're going to be absolutely stupid about money at least go all in.

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
JVR-Thornton-Marner

Thornton still hasn't signed anything so I wouldn't say it's impossible.

I thought he did, so Jumbo just has a verbal intent with the Sharks right now then?

Yeah, the supposed deal was reported on but nothing official yet.

With Marleau leaving, I really hope Thornton stays. I don't know if I can handle both leaving at once.

If the Leafs are gonna dip into some of the LTIR money from Lupul and Horton for the next season or two they might as well go all in

Those rookie bonus overages tho.....
 
I had accepted the Hainsey deal. I was okay with the Moore deal. Now this.

There truly is no such thing as a smart management team in the NHL. All it would take is for someone with half a brain to get into an NHL management team and they'd dominate the league forever.

Figuring out what to do with that cap hit in year 3 when Matthews, Nylander, and Marner are making a combined $24 million is going to be... a challenge
