Man imagine if we signed 21 year old Marner to that deal…

Imagine if Matthews or Marner had slaf's agent?!? We should draft high end talent based on their agents.

That was some slick editing, they just completely removed Steve saying Wayne Gretzky in the middle of Jesse talking and it still sounds clean.

2 points justifying the 7.6M for 8 years deal : 1- taxes in canada are 50% for people making over 100k. equivalent for a florida player deal would be like 5M 2- playing more for UFA years is the norm. you don't want your young talent going to the market and lose them for nothing.

Difficult player to find… lol first overall 50 pt season

Bit early to tell. Kinda like the Jake Sanderson deal.

Why can the leafs never get a home count discount? Instead we gave Nylander at least 2m more than he could have got on the open market

Am I missing something ? $7.6 million for a 20 yr old who has averaged .50 points per game in his first two seasons. Why not a 3 year bridge deal and see if he’s where it ?

The Canucks are paying less for a Norris Trophy winner

[gludiousmaximus]

Makes the pinto contract look like a bargain - montreal has a tendancy for overpaying for non-superstars
