3 of 4 people don't understand what a salary cap is, difficult to have a debate.
2024-2024 Matthews $13,250,000 , Tavares $11,000,000 , Marner $10,903,000 , Nylander $11,500,000 , Rielly $7,500,000.
$54,153,000 gone on 5 players, out of 20, or, roughly 63% of your cap, wasted on 25% of your iced roster. Absolutely comical.
I love this team. Never change, Toronto. 1967, baby.
And the delusional fans huffing heavy copium will do mental gymnastics to reason why these contracts are good deals 💀
Dont show leaf fans math. You'll just confuse them
4 players most of the cap gone. No money for defense, no money for goaltending. Equals no cup. Toronto you created this monster of a mess.
Tavares contract is up next year. He will be gone if he doesn’t sign a cheap deal. Cap is also going up 4-5 mill next year. They have the money, but i agree, its still hilarious.
@@8JFJK8 With Reilly's money total of 55 million a year in 5 players. Plus Marner will want more when Johnny's money drops off but will be swallowed up so fast that it solves nothing and the problem will continue year in and year out. Heck Leafs were going to be better when Mrazk's money fell off. Always money falling off but the problem is then they just overspend and do it to themselves again.
Cap up next year lol I'll believe it when it ACTAULLY happens. Plus the Mathews contract will eat that up, not to mention the current method of spending, and unless they become the first in the league to have league minimum goal tandem lol@@8JFJK8
@@bikingD JT 's money is already gone , Knies will be an RFA thx to Dubas burning a year off his contract by using him in the play offs and ya know he will be looking at 5 - 6 million and Leafs nation just reported on their pod cast that Marners camp has let it slip he will be looking for NORTH of 11 . 5 .
Stupid comments lol
when Sid wants to talk hockey, then realizes he's speaking to 3 walls
It's about selling jerseys not winning cups
Winning cups sells jerseys...
@chrisroa1 Oh does it? Does it really?? Wow. As if the maple leafs don't out sell every other team in the league in jerseys annually already right?
@@chrisroa1 The cost to win a cup, digs into the profits of selling jerseys. @Countrybananas nailed it. This is about moving merchandise, and so long as "leaf nation" keeps lapping this garbage up, that's all it will be about.
Last time I checked, there was revenue sharing with NHL merchandise. If you buy a Leafs jersey or hat, the Leafs get a portion of the profit but so do the other 31 teams.
@@Countrybananas You're being disingenuous. I think it's safe to say the Raps made out extremely well after winning the Championship on top of selling tons of expensive playoff tickets.
I listened for about 1:45 seconds and couldn't take them anymore
Sid is 100% correct. Leafs are screwed and i love it!!!
@@methodz2850 2024-2025 Matthews $13,250,000 , Tavares $11,000,000 , Marner $10,903,000 , Nylander $11,500,000 , Rielly $7,500,000
Yet, somehow you think they're gonna have $30M to "play with" to sign the rest of their needs. It's why I love delusion folks like yourself. The laughs.
@@methodz2850no idea where you’re getting 30 million from they have 21 million to sign 8 players including 3 defenseman
Wrong. The salary cap is going up a lot. Once it does, Nylander is going to feel ripped off. They made this deal just in time.
@@methodz2850indeed you are
@@methodz2850 he’s got a NMC
Well said Sid. It's a real shame you aren't discussing this with people that know about hockey. You and Tim could go on for an entire episode of Tim and Sid about this and I'd be entertained.
Agree
Bring back tim and sid
I missed the "I believe in this team and want to stay and win a cup" quotes from any of the Core 4. Cash is the goal in Toronto (fans and Management) and hence the decade of early playoff exits....
you clearly didn't listen to Nylander's presser
.......and yet everyone would have wanted and signed the exact same contract if in the same position OR would have said the same of their son to so the same.
@@cro38363 Don't project your greed on everyone else in the world. Gio took less, Spezza took less and so did Morgan Rielly. But Willy needs to make bank since his useless younger brother can't earn anything above minimum wage in the NHL.
@@jeffreym.8957 Speeza took less? When?
Gio? Mark Giordano took less?
When?
They took 'less' at the end of their career when they already made money from past seasons.
They signed with the Leafs at a dollar number that they offered them?
Didn't take less any other time when they were making more.
Why weren't they offering to take less during their younger years when they were making more if they were such great team players?
Are you telling me that if the Leafs offered them 10M they would say no, give me the NHL minimum. Hmm.
If they offered Reilly 10M, he's going to say no, give me 7.5M?? Really?
If your employer offered you 3x what you make now, you gonna say no?
Are you instead going to offer your employer to take 1/3 off your salary?
Exactly.
Is this your greed? Exactly
Easy to speak or write suggesting somebody's greed but you'd take the money, right?
Talk big, but you'll take the money.
Go back to your employer and offer them 5K of your Salary. Can't do it, right?
BTW...Willy took a pay cut with his first contract.
Are you projecting your jealousy of these sports figures or other people who make more money than you?
You would ask for the same money Willy did if you had an NHL career?
Exactly
I wasn't happy about the price tag until watching this. The fact that sid hates it makes me optimistic. I still remember how passed he was that Nylander got 6.9 on his last contract, which turned out to be a bargain, as he was one of the lowest paid consistent 30 goal scorers over the term of that contract (which was made better by sid claiming he would never be a 30 goal scorer, when he signed the contract). Nylander has scored more than 30 goals in the last 4 seasons, and was on a 30 goal pace in the 4th (if it hadn't been shortened by covid). Sid saying Nylander won't stay consistent at this level makes me think Nylander will be a 50 goal scorer for the next 5 years, by which time the salary cap will be high enough to make the raise much less of a problem.
Why is everyone so obsessed with the cap next season. He is signed for 7 more years after that
I’m willing to bet Marner does not get re-signed, and JT either walks or takes a huge discount. They will be fine.
"They will be fine." Famous words before disaster.
JT will not walk. He's playing in his hometown and is the "C". He'll just take a pay cut, methinks. Marner may get traded in the off-season depending on how the playoffs go. Having to play Boston or Florida in the first round this year will be tough. They would almost be better off as the WC team and play the Rangers.
@@jeffreym.8957I agree
I'm so glad Sid left Sportsnet so he can talk about this stuff with a bunch of unqualified Day Show hosts.
Canucks’ Elias Petterson new deal will eclipse Nylander’s deal by a mile.
Nylander has more points playing better this year. Pettersson will prob get 11.5 or 12
All due respect, but IS he playing better? Keep in mind the positional difference and value@@savjakob7838
This guarantees that the Laffs will never win a cup with this group. 👍😘
Let's see what the next two weeks brings about. They've looked solid the last four games; admittedly against some lower-tier teams, but definitely an improvement compared to their performance with Buffalo and Columbus.
I was about to say…. he’s the only leaf that did score in the playoffs
not true, Mathews crafted some of those comebacks, just watch the replay of 4-1 comeback vs Tampa. Still, contract sucks, Leafs, alas will continue into mediocrity.
The Leafs have made the playoffs for seven straight seasons for the first time in my 47 years on this earth and people are still complaining. It's like they think Stanley cups are just handed out like halloween candy. 7 years and no cup...."oh well throw in the towel, this team is done" seems to be the popular take which is just dumb.
I have read that he signed a 69 million dollar signing bonus in addition to his 92 million 8 year contract. Just wondering if the 69 million signing bonus is incorporated in the 92 million or is a total of 161 million?
69 of the 92 is signing bonuses. Leafs do that all the time because they’re rich 😂. The players get a 10 mil cheque July 1
Well done Sid....makes me smile to see you still know your Stuff...hockey guru!!!!
Leaf's will never win a Stanley Cup building a team this way.
The black Bieber jersey is a disgrace to the historic tradition of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
This obviously fuels the curse
Sid is 100% right, the rest of the comments on UA-cam speaking positively about this deal are either fake bots or delusional leaf fans which make up at least 80% of the fan base
Sid you're NOT IN SPORTS ANYMORE! YOU'RE IN THE FLUFF OF BT!
Sid has a point. They could have waited until at least the trade deadline or end of season if they always had the intention of signing. Even if he reached the projected points 11.5m is still within the realm of feasibility for both camps.
Can Sid just talk about the leafs without co-hosts plz?
Here here Sid! Agree 💯
Do huge contracts between team players create a problem on the team??
It’s creates envy.
the haves big money long contracts and the have not short term league minimum who come and go
Just wait for Marner's contract to leap frog over that, I know Tavaras might take a cut to 5 or 6 to stay but this is like renting an apartment complex out of your overall budget and not having any money left for food or heat.
RFA, they had some leverage UFA, they just were along for the ride. Are they committing to a future without Marner? or a future where they keep the core 4, Tarvares, Wille, Auston, and Marner and keep trying to force it to happen?
What a panel.
The Leafs literally took Nylander to the breaking point where they called his bluff on his last contract Sid!?
At least they dodged the Jack Campbell bullet, Samsonov at least doesn't have term attached
04:50 Right on!! Preach it, Bro!!
harold ballard smiling !!!! as long as the stands are full, hockey sweaters & hats flying off the shelf, i could care less if we win a stanley cup ! Shanahan sucks Ballard !
Funny how it's rarely talked about ...the INSANITY of these contracts. When did it become OK for the average working family man to not be able to afford to take his family to a hockey game??
this whole f'in world has gone insane
That's what having 8,000,000,000 people in the world does. Wasn't easy to score cheap "Three Tenors" tickets back in the day, either. As for Super Bowl, I couldn't even afford the parking ... lol
Agree Sid. We have been doomed to never be able to build a bonafide cup contender under this pay structure, and it will continue for the next 2 years at least. So we may as well not show up to the games against Florida, they will feast off of us yet again.
Then don't support and don't watch them play! Would be nice to get rid of all the negative fans and reporters. Go Willie Go!
Leafs always contender go leafs go go leafs go go leafs go willparade the cup up and down Dundas!!!!
I am MOSTLY with Sid, however looking at the Conn Smythe winners, since the salary cap goes up most years you need to look at % of salary cap at the time and not the dollar figure of someones salary. Example is Crosby. his cap hti was 8.7 however the cap was 64.3 mil when he won.. so about 13.5% of cap. Next year Nylander is 13.1% of cap(If cap remains unchanged). Its a fair value for Nylander, but the Leafs just cant afford to rely on such a small number of players, this isnt basketball its a team game
Agree with Cap Hit %. But I would say it is too rich given all the things Crosby does for the Pens. Crosby was the face of the league at the time and had already won Cups and individual awards. Nylander's deal is only fair when compared with his overpaid line mates. But if you are going to give Marner, JT and Auston whatever they want, how can you be a hardball negotiator with your best forward in a contract year?
It's like 5 Rolls Royces ...supported by 18 VOLKSWAGONS !!! NOT a formula for cups !!😂😂😂
Lol leafs doing their best jim benning impression
If I were a Leafs fan I'd be furious. Since I'm not, I love it. Keep it up.
Next year will be fun 😂😂. After that it might be ok
People are ignoring the other option, which is to trade him. Sure, you may not ‘win that trade’ but at his highest value it’s probably better to get a couple depth pieces and improve on the much needed pieces in the off season. Leafs are not a cup contender this year.
Exactly but all the fan boys won’t see this
@@Oldmanflyfishing have you read any of the sentiment, anywhere? Like even here on this video? You’re hardly alone in this edgy opinion.
@@shawny2scrawny Obviously we aren’t Willy fan boys.
@@methodz2850 Just think, Willy plays 2nd line, what’s an average 2nd line winger worth, 7 million, what’s a good top 4 D man worth, 4 maybe 5 million? Just saying that 11.5 could have been spent a lot better
@@OldmanflyfishingI can't tell if people are dumb with these takes or just completely delusional. No one is trading Makar or Fox for Nylander. You get that right? So your option is to trade the 5th highest scorer this year for a 3rd or 4th defenceman? You can get that for a 2nd round pick at the deadline. Trading Willy doesn't make the team better that's the problem...
It’s almost like leafs management doesn’t care about the playoffs 🤔
Looks like they still won't be able to afford that top 2 defensemen which is one of their biggest holes. They're not winning a cup, or even contending for a cup when most of the cap money is going to forwards. And even with the cap increases, Matthew's and Nylander's pay raises cancel that out. Exciting regular seasons, and early playoff exits. That's apparently good enough.
Now what to do with the back end
The core four has proven they can't win in the playoffs, and are rewarded with 11+ million.
We may never see this in sports again
It started in the Dubas Era giving JT 11M , Today he isn't worth 3M
The only one pissing on willies contract is Sid, he just hates the leafs and can’t help himself
No disrespect to nylander, don’t like the number, I like the player, won’t hold it against him . I think when we look at other players on other teams making under 10 mil, they themselves want to make the team better and understand the cap, which is a good trait to have. But you don’t have to have that trait, I blame Marner for this. I don’t blame Auston , jt , and Connor for this, I want to but can’t. Jt could be playing for San Jose at 13 mil, people forget that. I think they understand the cap, but if someone comes up to you and says “ we will give you 11.5 for 8 what do you think?” And you say “no”? When Auston, Mitch, and John are making stupid money? You’re the fool. At the end of the day, it’s not any player’s job to police the cap, some do, but it’s not on them.
Absolutely. It's management's job.
When the player tells you he wants to remain a Leaf you have to milk that a bit and play hardball. You say - "Okay, here's $80 million for 8 years. That's the most we can offer without having AHL level D-men and goalies. Otherwise, where do you want to play - Edmonton or Arizona?" (i.e. subject to his 10-team modified no-trade clause.
willie deserves every penny, he shows up at play-offs unlike mr no show play-offs auston matthews
Who’s William Nylander?
Im sick of hearing a bunch of guys who never stepped foot on ice talk about hockey.
Where do they get the money, one line over 35 million dollars
At the age of 35 Tavares will likely take a discount to keep the core together and that will pretty much swap the contracts between Nylander and Tavares.
As for Marner, if he gets a dollar more than Nylander, that’s a terrible move on the Leafs part.
And they'll give it to Marner. As Sid said, they are more concerned with keeping their guys than they are about winning. So If Marner demands $12.5M in his next deal, they'll give it to him. And then they'll have 3 guys making over $11M that haven't won anything.
@@pomerlain8924 sadly you’re bang on about that. Nylander based on his consistent playoff performance and Willy getting better every year earns him the contract imo. Ik Marner will get his payday and get at least another million, would screw the leafs tho big time
Marner is good so is pastrnak. So can the leafs swap players with bruins? Would they do it?
Nylander took a team discount on the last contract.
Sid forgot to leave out that and after next year JT’s contract is up and he will make less the 10 million. We only need 1 goalie Woll is still signed for another year. Reaves will be in the minors which will open more cap. We will have around 23-24 million for 8 players and one spot will go to Minten and maybe. Timmins will be traded and we will bring back Benoit and have one of the Marlies up so we need 6 players now for 20-21 million. Domi could be back but not Bertuzzi unless he takes less then 5.
It depends on who they can get for the defense. TJ Brodie's $5.0 million is gone, but who are going to get for around that price or cheaper these days? Jeff Petry? Olli Maata? Lyubushkin? Bert could return - unless he has a monster playoff series or two.
Breakfast Tele speaking about hockey is hilarious.....4 of the 4 ppl up their should not be talking hockey....joke
If Nylander did take any sort of discount, every penny he left for the leafs to go and get better talent would go right into Marner's pocket. Nylander is better in the playoffs out of the two Id rather the money go to him.
Okay, let's be real: we were talking about trading him when he was "lower value". So of course, when he exceeds expectations and increases his value, now we're complaining that the management negotiated badly?
Look, they've won four straight games; admittedly against some very low-performing teams. Let's see where this goes. Hopefully, they keep up this pace...and we'll see where they go AFTER the playoffs.
Toronto is going Bust as a Coty but their team can hand out 10,000,000.00 to pass a puck around
City***
That Hall and Oates song is cursed ☠
The only way this works is if they plan to move Mitch in the offseason or.... they roll it back next year and try to work around the holes the best they can, and then the following year JT signs a significantly cheaper deal to stay for another couple chances at a cup with these guys. But his 11 mill coming off the books and say he even signed a 4M deal to stick around.. if not less... thats a huge chunk taken off and the cap is going to be way up compared to where they're at now... There are still ways for this to work and be able to keep rolling out this team and being competitive every year but yes, they do need to find wins around the lineup, whether draft picks stepping up on ELC's, FA's that wanna come here and prove themselves or trades for guys on good deals etc.
Of course, JT will be another two years slower by then. He won't even be considered part of the "Core Four" after he signs his next deal.
here's the difference: the leafs are giving up 10+ million dollars to every competitive team around them, which is 2 pretty good 2nd/3rd line players....and we have a mediocre third line. third line won tampa their cups and they couldn't pay em. phil kessel, on the third line, scoring 20+ points in back to back playoffs won pittsburgh 2 cups. ie: we're never winning.
Florida's $83.5 million cap is equivalent to a $120.3 USD million cap in Canada. It's not a level playing field. Canadian NHL teams should get a $120.3 million USD cap. Kucherov makes $9.5 million USD. In Toronto, he would need to get paid $12.87 million USD to get the same paycheque.
The Leafs have been the top valued franchise and always will be no matter where they are in the standings. Hamilton, Mississauga or another city should get a team as well.
Too much greed, LA has two teams within a 15 minute drive, think about that, beach, surf boards and sun. Meanwhile Toronto while not as big as LA is hockey central, blame the greedy owners and all their payoffs. Toronto would easily sell our a Hamilton, Mississauga or for that matter Markham team. But its the same reason Toronto doesn't have an NFL team. Don't want to hear the Buffalo crap, an NFL team in Toronto would pump a billion plus into the city, restaurants, concession, etc. GREED AND POLITICS rules the day.
Awful signing. That’s so much money and for so long!
I love all the arm chair GMs saying they would do things differently. Maybe you’d want to, but the GM and Shanascam aren’t the boss. It’s the board of directors. 😂😂😂
US State taxes give players more take home money. Stamkos and Crosby are perfect examples.
How is Crosby a perfect example? Pittsburgh is in Pennsylvania. They have a state income tax.
I think the better examples are Stamkos, Kucherov, Mark Stone and Vasy. Four superstars that have proven themselves in every aspect of the game who each take less (i.e. $9.5 million, $9.5 for Stammer), because earning $9.5 million in Florida and Vegas means you have to earn $12.87 million USD in Canada to net the same amount after-tax. Huge difference for no-tax states. Not fair at all.
@jeffreym.8957 state taxes.. plural. It's still a better place than Ontario Canada.
Watch. He'll go south after this season. Should've traded him while his value is high. For a prime years d man and a goaltender that can mentor Woll and take the work load off of Woll so he's ready for playoff time. But no we say screw this put money in his pocket. Where we've got 3 or 4 other guys Maki g money like wth is Trev thinking. Don't get me started on keefes extension
My guess is that none of the panellists can even skate, listening to non-hockey people is painful.
Sid is correct but let's face it MLS&E is a business owned by two conglomerates with suits that could care less if they win a cup. The Leaf's s are NHL's highest value franchise at $2.8B and we haven't had any hopes of cup in forever. The core four help get to the $2.8B valuation. We the fans can't get enough watching these guys. We fill the seats, feast on the food & bevy and continue to watch games, TV ad's and buy merch! As long as we continue to do that the suits will support the large $ contracts for the talent! Good for Nylander! Next up Marner!!
It's "Suits". "Suites" are things that the "Suits" lease to watch the games.
The problem is NMCs. You are stuck with these contracts no matter what, like Sid said next year they are screwed because of NMCs.
look at Calgary with Jonathan Huberdeau.😂😂
What the Leafs do with Marner, will show what direction they're going in. I don't think the Matthews and Nylander contracts are that bad, IF those are the two Forwards they move ahead with.
To win a Stanley Cup in the cap era, the formula is easy. What you need to do is build your team around 4 players: 2 Forwards and 2 Defensemen; or 2 Forwards, 1 Defenseman, and 1 Goalie. Just look at how Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Tampa were built. The tough part is, finding those players.
Matthews and Nylander are two excellent players for your 2 Forwards. IF the Leafs bring back Marner, which I'd bet they will, they've screwed themselves, AGAIN. Marner's going to want $12 Million. That money will be better spent on a Defenseman or a Goalie. Plus it'll free up money to build a better 3rd and 4th line.
Marner and Tavares should be shown the door, if the Leafs are serious about winning. I can understand being loyal and show respect to players that have won you a Championship. But if you haven't, it's "See ya later, we're going in a different direction". It's part of the business
No team in their right mind would loose Marner, Matthews and Nylander likes. All this comparing salaries is foolish, when did those guys sign, back then it was high and now you use old salaries to say Nylander and Marner salaries are too high and in 2 years, Nylander and Marner salaries will be considered as reasonable. MUST SIGN MARNER. He too can be as good if not better than Nylander but he needs protection like Gretzsky had. No the Leafs do not need a goalie, wait on Woll and the Beast, Jones is fine for now, they are 2 tough Ds and 1 extra tough guy away from making a serious run, they already have a decent D core, Liligren has been great since his return, Benoit has been impressive and holds his own and so does McCabe, Reilly is great as always, Lagersson and Macmann will devlope fine and be cheap so will Gregor. If the three are kept here and additions made over this season and the next 2, this team will do fine. As much as I love Sheldon's winning record, if the team has to stay with what they have, then Sheldon has to be replaced by or the likes of Greg Brube or Joe Quinnville (appeal to NHL).
They all have "No Movement Clauses" so your criticism is moot. Their hands are tied in any case.
@@jeffreym.8957 Marner is a UFA in 2 years, so is Tavares. The Leafs can just let them walk. The cap room will be more vaulable than trying to trade them, and take salary back.
The key for the Leafs is to free up money, so they can improve the D and Goalies.
BUT they'll re-sign Marner at $12.9 Million a year and Tavares $6.9 Million a year and screw themselves over again.
If Leafs trade Marner, Matthews will be pissed.
But management keeps handing out NMC's to most of their players. I wouldn't be surprised if Reaves has one
Well we can kiss this season and next season goodbye until the Tavares and Marner contracts end😢
but in the summer, they could have had him 2 million cheaper that in itself could have kept a player such as Hyman
LOL!!!! No they couldn't have. He would have been signed at the beginning of the season if that was the case. They have been trying to extend him since July 1st so if 2 mil cheaper was an option it would have been done already. He was offered 9.5 and said no. His number was always 11.5.
I wonder if Sid will tell his employer to renegotiate his contract and reduce his pay so they can include a 5th member to that commentary team on BT.
I wonder how Austin Matthews feels about this?😂
House Poor
Million dollar house, eating off of paper plates
When Harald Ballard took the team Toronto has never recovered and with the current owners and management Toronto is getting no cup's just regular season champs 💯
Oh my gawd Sid and I agree the world must be ending
Nylander either undervalued himself or took a discount to stay in toronto, when you compare this to the similar Panarin contract at 11.6m.
Panarin squeezed a little more out of the Rangers that's true. But there are always going to be players who get a little more here-and-there. Panarin went to UFA don't forget.
I dont think he wanted 11.5 to make more than marner as he knows marners contract is coming up and will have increased pay
Sid you not taking % of cap into consideration
4 players making over 11 million.. thats ridonkules
4th string goalie? Nah ain’t no way this goalie is a bonafide nhl starter! He’s took a sharks team to the Stanley cup final! Only reason why he’s down in the ahl is because we have Samsonov and woll who needs to see some nhl action because he’s ready. Jones is just just in case either gets hurts and need a back up
willie is sooooooo worth the money, def better then matthews
I see the Leafs trading Marner for lack of grit and pick up a defenceman
Its like no one in this video have heard that you can make trades in the NHL. The only two options weren't let Nylander walk for nothing or sign him to a contract that pay him more than he'll be worth going forward. I hope the Leafs fans are fine with Matthew Knies leaving, with praying Tevaras takes over half in way of a pay cut, with not being able to resign any defence man or replace them with anyone of quality and with Marner now signing for 13 million. Never mind, hoping Woll doesn't become your goaltender of the future because you won't be able to sign him either. This team is going to slowly degrade in talent and the core 4 STILL won't be able to get us anywhere near the finals.
Cap for all teams need to go up!
lol…Breakfast tv talking about the Leafs. Sid is that guy Katt Williams was talkin about…😂
As I’ve said in a previous video regarding this. Nylander is a great player, based on his performance he deserves a pay increase to stay in Toronto, but they also need an improvement with goaltending and defence. With a contract like they gave Nylander, they’re back to square one with no cap space to sign anybody.
Hopefully this signing doesn’t come back to bite them in the butt and Nylander doesn’t decide to go to sleep now that he has the big contract.
9M at most for him. The guy isn't near as productive as Makar, nor is he consistent. And yet she scores less than a defenseman and gets paid 2.5M more. Leafs are a joke
If it were up to me i'd sign nylander and let marner go. nylander has been consistent for the past few years and doesn't let the toronto spotlight get to him. let marner go shine somewhere else.
@@TheGunman18 Not a toronto fan but I agree. Gotta let 1 of them go.
What other player received a $4.5 M pay increase from one season to the next?
@@TheGunman18Let Marner go and you can expect Auston’s goals to plummet.
Sports business is not business business. Quit giving sports owners the acceptance to operate that way through your dialogue. Its different, and with 20+ teams up to the cap, the cap should be 10 mil higher or implement a luxury tax system
Trana got rid of one incompetent GM and replaced him with an even more incompetent GM.
Zero negotiation skills, and zero knowledge of how to build a champion. 🤣🤣🤣
Nylander will be 35 when this deal ends. Thats not bad.
Also, Milan Lucic was 34 when his contract ended. Think about that.
Sid rhymes off a bunch of player and their contacts who play in a zero or low tax State.
It's the Shanaplan
Leafs will always make a boat load of money whether or not they win a cup.
As usual, the media leads to the most uninformed fanbase in hockey.
The salary is for next year, not this year. This year was already settled a long time ago by a different GM.
The cap is going up, finally and Sid's take is that the Leafs are overpaying one of the elite players in the league.
Meanwhile, in the NBA, MLB, NFL, players heard about the contract and react: wow, how little do they get paid?
Hey SID, no wonder you are no longer on SportsNet, Why didn't complain about Mathews 13M, last contact sign Willy got rob and he been the most consistent player on the Leaf's for years now. I didn't hear you say Mathews need to preform for a long time, while he making more that McDavid. If you want to know what happen in this city, is having people like you reporting.
This contract will be worth every penny if the Leafs manage to get a cup in this 8 year period. However this team will continue to have very good regular seasons, sell out and move tons of merchandise. Just what ownership wants.
IF
Ownership makes a lot more money when their teams advance in the playoffs. I am so tired of hearing this worn out argument. Have you ever seen what the Leafs charge for a playoff ticket? That is pure profit there.
If u do the math this may be the biggest number they gave away but 10-15 years ago guys like tie domi made 8 million a year. Average players used to make fat money now its based on what u can hopefully produce how it should be.
I get why people are upset but I’ve yet to hear a reasonable alternative. Waiting is a sign of bad faith and would have most likely lead to him testing free agency. He backed them into a corner by how he’s played in the last 2-3 years. What would you do as a gm? You don’t know because you sit on UA-cam and comment and are not in a position to run a multi million dollar corporation
When is the NHL going to up the cap to allow teams to pay professional hockey players like NBA or MLB players? The only reason there is a cap is to achieve parity in the league. If the gloves were off, watch out. Leafs would have the cash and more flexibility to sign and keep valuable players. Like a Zach Hyman or Michael Bunting being let go, essentially, because of the cap situation. To be fair as well, Tavares will not be making his current salary at the end of his deal.
