And all this 63 points is his highest point total talk... $11.634M Matthews highest point total is 73 points.

But Skinner won't be getting better. He will be getting worse. Marner and Matthews and Nylander are getting better.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:43 pmWell if the cap is going up, Skinner's contract will look better and better

Buffalo is screwing themselves.

If Skinner will get worse because of age, so too will Tavares (same age, both will be 34 at the end).BigTuna wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:14 pmBut Skinner won't be getting better.

Nylander appears to be getting worse from where I sit (probably the two concussions he's suffered).
If those 3 get better they'll cash in even bigger in 5 years time.
And the 8-year contracts they sign in 5 years time will take them to age 34.

Matthews leads the entire NHL BY FAR in 5 on 5 goals since he entered the NHL and gets less TOI than anyone below him. Goals are a premium. Matthews is the best pure goal scorer since Ovechkin.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 7:45 pm All this concussion talk... phhtt...

Oh what you are saying is, they will be expensive in 5 years. Thanks. I'll worry about that in 2024.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:25 pmIf Skinner will get worse because of age, so too will Tavares (same age, both will be 34 at the end).BigTuna wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:14 pmBut Skinner won't be getting better.

And Nylander isn't getting worse. LOL. 5 % shooting %. Unsustainable.
BUffalo will have traded Skinner within 5 years.

Re: The Official CC "All Thing Leaves" thread
Matthews has missed 34 games to injury in the last 2 seasons
... and he can't seem to get along with coaches.
I predict he will lead Salutegate Part Deux within a few years
... due to Leafers running his buddies Marleau and Zaitsev outta town.
Then he'll Leave for the desert for his 8 year contract.
LOL at your chart showing $9M x 8 Skinner right up there with $11.634M x 5 Matthews.

He can’t get 8 years unless leaves trade him I guess. 7 year max as a FA
The only HW the Canucks need
Re: The Official CC "All Thing Leaves" thread
I'd say on any contract. But in Marner's case yes, 8 years. Remember, he's a hometown kid who wants to be there long term if he can.Strangelove wrote: ↑Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:07 pmOn an 8 year contract?
Remember, he'll prolly sign a 5 year contract so Leaves can keep the AAV down (like Matthews and Nylander).

Re: The Official CC "All Thing Leaves" thread
Hey man I can't help it if Matthews is injury prone.
34 games injured roughly equals 500 minutes.
And like I say $9M vs $16M (what Matthews would've demanded on an 8-year deal).
