I had a spirited conversation with Butch the other night about this team. You just can't spend 40 Mil on 4 forwards.....that just doesn't work. They are better off getting rid of Marner and Tavares and buying a goalie or some better D. This is a cautionary tale for everyone in the league who thinks this can work.
100 per cent agree. They tried to make it work for years and it just hasn't.
Who would take Marner though? He is way over paid, it would need to be a team with cap space, and I assume he has at least a limited NMC and would be unwilling to get to a rebuilding team. Even if all that works out, what does the Leafs have to offer in the way of prospects and picks? Its a messy situation, and going to be hard to correct.
Marner has a full NMC so I believe he'd have to approve
the team he'd go to. Not even like a list of 10 teams like some modified NTCs say.
Holy shit. Looking at their forwards, it's incredible.
List edited to include the #years remaining (after this year ends)
Mathews- NMC 4 years
Tavares- NMC 1 year
Marner- NMC 1 year
Nylander- NMC 8 years
Bertuzzi- NMC UFA
Domi- M-NTC UFA
Kampf- M-NTC 3 years
Jarnkrok- M-NTC 2 years
Reaves (35+ with 2 years left
), Knies (1 year) & Dewar (RFA) are the only Fs without some sort of NTC/NMC.
Defense-
Morgan- NMC 6 years
Brodie- M-NTC UFA
McCabe- M-NTC 1 year
Giordano - 35+ UFA
They're a frigging mess with movement limitations.
Both Samsonov and Jones are UFAs. Woll has another year.
