The cost is so ridiculously high that it's never going to happen. Thoughts of revenge can make people do ridiculous things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 NHL is the old boys country club. It’ll never happen not even Lou would consider it. Plus GM will always match so the whole thing is futile anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Love today's headline on TSN. "Wont be fair to Tavares to lose a core player". Nice to know TSN is so concerned. Must be some magic plan in place to keep the forward core in tact while upgrading that D. Edit. I forgot they have Shanaplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EoH Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 If Matthews gets lost to an offer sheet I could see the Toronto media headlines saying they didn’t need Matthews’s anyways and the compensation of 4 first round picks clearly outweighs any Matthews any day of the week.

JeremyCuddles Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I seen someone suggest Marner should get around 10mil. Not sure if he was a Toronto fan, but if that's even remotely close to what the secondary stars (Nylander/Marner) are worth I am very happy to say they are gonna be hurting for depth in a major way. Marner for 10, Nylander for 8-9 and Tavares and Matthews for 11 each. They aren't signing any decent depth players. They may have a decent forward core, but their D core will look worse than ours.

HKSR Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I find it funny that there are articles surfacing that are having NHL legends 'clarify' that there is no rift between Matthews and the Leafs: https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/orr-reports-of-rift-are-silly-wrong-and-not-true~1435364 And what does Bobby Orr have to do with TML anyways? lol Anyways, you know how the saying goes... where there's smoke...

I don't buy it. Mathews finished something like 40th in the league for his percentage of his teams power play time for centers. Babcock flying to Arizona to meet up so soon after the season, Mathews demeanor in interviews. I don't buy it. What I buy is if there is a bit of a rift, it wont make the news because the reporter that breaks the story will never be allowed near the Leafs again.

During his interview on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, Chris Johnston said that there definitely is something to the rumour of a Matthews/Babcock rift. Didn’t go into any more detail though.

O'Sullivan on NHL Network touched on how he knows of players that will not sign in TO as long as Babs is the coach. Babs seems like an egomaniac to me. Mathews seems soft to me and doesn't like being pushed to hard. Just my opinion from thousands of miles away and never meeting any of them. Lol.

UFCanuck Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Last 3 cup winners have had two elite centres and a solid 3rd line C. Good on Dubas for finding a way to make it happen. Edm Tor Pit Wsh next years cup winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to say....remember before the cap (when it was even more of an "old boys country club").....the Laffs gave an offer sheet to Ohlund (when Quinn, a member of the 'old boys network') when handing out those things were unheard of. Though I guess the way the Canucks signed Quinn as GM in the first place might've been a motivating factor why the Laffs decided to go against "the standard practices at the time".

Or Marner 12 million per? Or Nylander 8 million per? I'm not sure what the compensation is on 12 and 15 million.. But I'm sure it's many 1st round picks. I wouldn't match and take the compensation.

If there is an offer sheet coming on Matthews (I sure hope so ... ha ha ha) I think it comes from a team with lots of money, and is higher in the standings. Then those firsts would be late in the first round, and shaft the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS91 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If offersheets were to happen my guess would be: Islanders offersheet Marner next summer around 7 x $10 Or Arizona offersheets Mathews next summer around 7 x $14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
