That’s a massive contract. I wonder which if any between Tavares, Nylander and Marner will get traded or be allowed to walk away the next few years?
My money’s on Nylander. The Leafs make too much money having the boys from Toronto on the team. Plus, who’s going to want Tavares’s contract? He’s a good player, but at that AAV he’s negative value.

And pants.
I thought his problem was belts to hold up the pants?
If in 4 years, Matthews cant win the cup with the Leafs, would a GM pay him another most expensive long term contract then? That will be a lot of cap hit for someone cant win the cup with very good players while in his prime. He is really betting on himself bring the cup to toronto.
I’m not sure. The Leafs are really going to have to score their way out of games this year. Ilya Samsonov is not a good goaltender.
Yeah and their d arent that good either.
Exactly my point. They’re going to play probably 60 games this year that are straight out of the 1980s in terms of scoring.
Good…good…incentivize the guy who never bothers to show up in the playoffs with a further five years of getting paid big bucks to continue not showing up in the playoffs.
And no…I’m not being sarcastic. Fuck the Leafs. I’m genuinely happy that team did something as stupid as this. Five more years of maybe barely getting into round 2. Maybe by the end of his five years they’ll be out in 6 games instead of 4.
