Ghostsof1915 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I would not be surprised if Matthews gets traded to Arizona, and Marner gets traded. Marner is overpaid, but he at least cares about the team. Matthews is too worried about what to wear on his way to the rink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Yikes. Bad contract for a defensive liability with little hope of improvement. Glad to see Dubas further screw that franchise. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His value is highest of their bad contacts. Marner with that contract is almost negative value. The Leafs would need to swallow at least two million of that contract for an winger that doesn't show up when needed most. He's afraid of his own shadow.

Dixon Ward Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 This makes OEL contract look even better. I think we have the better overall defender and he's a bit cheaper. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I know he's rough defensively, but this is a great contract given the other ones that have been given out. He's making less than Hughes and I'd argue they are pretty much the same one way scoring defenseman. Hughes is more efficient but Rielly is not afraid to get in front of pucks, gets less favorable zone usage, and is a tad more physical, AND Rielly was going to be a UFA at the end of this season. He coulda made way more. Rielly doing Toronto a huge solid with this contract. Funny how after all is said and done Rielly and Nylander would have the best contracts on that team outta their star players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes still had a chance of learning how to play like an NHLer in good own zone. Rough defensively is a very generous assessment of Rielly. That's a negative value contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 This IS a good contract, I'm shocked to say. Bet they deal Marner after that massive $ummer bonu$ is paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to cost Dumbass plenty to get rid of that floater with teams knowing he has to. At least his playoff effort level won't be a problem in Arizona.

D-Money Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 37 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Will they trade Marner? He probably makes the most sense. Can't see them parting with Matthews or Tavares, and Nylander at least earns his salary. Marner needs to get out of Toronto, and go play somewhere where he can escape the limelight. It's really gotten to him. Not sure the Leafs will get much for him without retention though. That cap hit is a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would save Toronto 6.3 million a year and the chances of Toronto being a lottery team are slim to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews likely signs in Arizona in a couple years anyway. W.Nylander or A.Kerfoot + T.Dermott will be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
