I'd be offended if I was Ullmark lol. Could see marchessault signing 3-4x6.5-7.5

if there isn't a first round pick involved, i doubt boston is considering an ullmark deal. Maybe a 24 high 2nd with some other stuff...certainly not this.

Thats a different look!

It just hit me that Nylander has a higher AAV than Pastrnak... again. I hate being a Leafs fan.

Canadian markets have to overpay players man. A player in Florida could get paid 9M$ and in Canada he needs 11M$.

That only seems to be the case when a player plays for Toronto though, haha. In all seriousness, MLSE is known for paying majority of their contracts in signing bonuses, which is a MASSIVE incentive. There's a lot that goes into it, but I'm sure a lot of people would rather have one large payment of 50 million dollars now than 6 payments of 10 million dollars over 6 years.

We can't overpay people in Ottawa because nobody wants to sign here anyway
