Jake has been jakeing it up so far this young season.

Right, but it's never framed that way. Because "If they give Nylander what he wants, there'll be less money for Ron Hainsey" doesn't play very well. But realistically there's not going to be a huge difference in what's available to the Leafs if they sign their guys at 43 or 38 million. It's the difference between a couple low end depth guys or one medium depth guy and prospects/minimum salary guys who'll need to play at a high level.
princedpw said:I suppose it depends on one?s perspective but a $5 million difference seems quite significant to me. The leafs are going to be in a situation where they have the high end guys, the $1 million guys (who you can?t save money on because they make close to the minimum) and only a couple of mid-tier guys. The only way to bridge the gap is to delete a mid tier guy or two.
One way to make up a $5 million difference would be to play a guy like Maracin or Carrick (or your average 6th defenseman) in place of Gardiner. That would hurt the defense so much that I think trading Nylander would probably optimize the lineup more. One could also trade Kadri (but even reducing $4.5 mill to $2 only gets you halfway there). I see very few other ways to make up a $5 million gap in 2020 (assuming obvious deadweight like Hainsey and Marleau are gone). Play Sparks as the starter and trade Anderson? Trade Rielly?
Most guys you'd love if they played every game like it's a Game 7, but Gardiner not so much...Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:CarltonTheBear said:Another game where Gardiner (38%) and Zaitsev (29%) got beat up on the possession numbers.

Well, I think maybe the error in perspective there is that you're looking to shave five million dollars off a team that's already 12 million dollars under the cap even with Horton's deal on the books.
