All this concussion talk... phhtt... Skinner has missed a grand total of 3 games in the last 4 seasons.

(Matthews has missed 34 games over the past 3 seasons)

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

Concussion was a big deal when Nylander got 1 and missed 0 games.

[BigTuna]

cap is going up you are aware?

Well if the cap is going up, Skinner's contract will look better and better

... while Matthews/Marner/Nylander's asks will get high and higher.

But Skinner won't be getting better. He will be getting worse. Marner and Matthews and Nylander are getting better.

Buffalo is screwing themselves.

You guys visiting for the Raptors parade?

If Skinner will get worse because of age, so too will Tavares (same age, both will be 34 at the end).

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.

Oh what you are saying is, they will be expensive in 5 years. Thanks. I'll worry about that in 2024.

And Nylander isn't getting worse. LOL. 5 % shooting %. Unsustainable.

BUffalo will have traded Skinner within 5 years.

[BigTuna]

THAT's why he gets paid what he does,.

Fucking Babcock playing him 18 minutes. Idiot.

[Strangelove]

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

[Meds]

Marner's ask just went up to $13M.

On an 8 year contract?

Remember, he'll prolly sign a 5 year contract so Leaves can keep the AAV down (like Matthews and Nylander).

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.

Will Arizona make the playoffs in the next 5 years? Will they stop losing 50 million per year/

8 year contract for RFas might be done.

By right up there you mean less goal with over 500 more minutes?

[BigTuna]

Toronto Raptors will win the first major championship since the Blue Jays.

[Strangelove]

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).
