NHL Off-season Thread 2019 |OT| You'd still be playing if you had Ryan Reaves

Was really hoping that'd stretch into November.
But on the plus side maybe everyone else signs now. That's a heavy AAV for him but at least the leafs can say they bought extra years.
There's going to be some interesting articles coming about the leafs cap situation going forward

Are you sure the speculation won't continue into December? Or will the Laffs just give out 5 Cs
Auston Matthews, John Tavares & Mitch Marner combine as a $33,527,000 cap hit. Next year that counts as 41% of the cap for Toronto.
Bruh....
Bruh....
It'd be nice to get a reasonable contract eh?
Barrie is gone next year.
There was a video released by the Leafs ig that basically showed Matthews with the C
It's happening probably next week
Yeah but so will be Tavares, Marner, Nylander, and Andersen
They let Muzzin walk. I'm sure they're thinking Dermott, Reilly, Barrie, Sandin, Liljegrin and cheap depth will be their D core next year. They have 15 million and only really Barrie and Dermott to lock up. They might even be able to afford to keep Muzzin. The cap situation is really not that bad for next year.
This year is going to be squeaky bum time though.
It's going to be real tough to devote a lot of dollars to Tyson Barrie but I guess the Leafs could do it. It would be real nice if Sandin and Lijegrin prove to be NHLers by this season's end though. That would be great for the Leafs depth.
Holy shit, how did I miss this? lol
Edit: Also, I see this thread has slightly picked up in activity, did Marner sign or something?
I think they're betting on both of them, hope they're right!
Watching from New Jersey, I'm not seeing Austin Matthews as captain material. He still comes across as immature at times and there are definitely more experienced, team-first guys on the Leafs in Tavares and Reilly, both of which are locked up for the next several years.
I'm aware, and the contracts weren't really the focus of what I wrote, it was Matthews character. To be clear -- in my opinion, Matthews character doesn't rise to the level of captain of the storied Toronto Maple Leafs franchise compared to people like Tavares and Reilly. That may change a year or two or three from now. But right now, that are more mature and experienced options available. Similar to Tarasenko in St. Louis, make him an alternate to put him on the right track while giving someone else the C. But he's certainly no McDavid, or Landeskog, or Barkov if I'm comparing stars who were given the C very early in their careers.
Auston reminds me of Mats, he's basically Latino Sundin, he'll be fine.
Congrats to the leafs to making it to the first round. Team just lacks will and perseverance, it seems like a me first kinda team. Least they have Mathews another 5 years till he bolts back to his pajama land.
I'm gonna be playing defence for the Leafs next season for $15/hr in order for the Leafs to be cap compliant.
Let's hope that US TV deal, Gambling revenue and Seattle Expansion raises the cap by $5m or so.

heh, i'd bet 50% league does it too, they just didn't get caught.
WHY ALMOST 500 NHL GAMES PLAYED CODY CECI STILL HAS SOME DEVELOPING TO DO!!
Habs beat writer is saying they're interested, but how good is a player when he can't make the Stars lineup? I don't know enough about him as a player, I'm curious about the popularity for a player who hasn't been able to perform.
