So basically he played decent for one season and wanted the bag instead of just taking a totally reasonable $3.5m AAV 2 year deal to show he's actually good.

Good thing we have Matt Murray waiting around lol

And he ends up getting a ONE year $3.5M year deal to show he's actually good.

All's well that ends well I guess.

So at this time, the Leafs are approx $12.4M over the cap per CapFriendly. If Muzz and Murray are both LTIR'ed, they are still around $2 M over the cap. Obviously more moves to come but getting Karlsson wont be one of them, despite all the smoke he is trying to blow about having spoken to the Leafs.

It's whatever, he obviously thinks even at replacement level the extra cap + UFA means he can get more. Shit, even if you suck the media will say you're going to get $5m x 5 and it'll will into existence solely based on the fact you're a Leafs pending UFA. Fuck, Martin Biron was already getting started:



Not sure that Murray isn't going to get bought out instead of LTIR'd, good chance he's healthy and wants to play hockey. Still think the most obvious move here is they trade Nylander and take minimal salary back.

Cole Sillinger has changed his number from 34 to 4, so obviously it means that the Leafs are going to salary dump Matthews to CBJ

Good, use him through his prime and let him walk at the end when he starts petering out.

Funny this comes out the same day Nylander said he wants to stay but also isn’t in a rush to sign.
