if you added up all the massive over payments here you could keep marner and have basically the same roster

Who's overpaid

literally everyone you signed

Poor Matt martin

It's what everyone will at least get

no, it really isnt. and even if they do then that just means that they all got way too much money and their contracts are awful



that's what happens when you are no longer an NHL player

Personally I want nothing to do with Marner on the Wild. I would much rather keep Gus as a trade piece and Rossi as a player than spend them on a flashy winger who has a hard time dealing with the physicality of playoff hockey.

I agree he would get Minnesota into the playoffs but that’s about it, in my opinion. And I’m not really interested in just making it to the playoffs to lose in 5 games every year. If he couldn’t win with the Leafs roster, I don’t think he will do better with MIN’s roster.

Screw montour for 8.2 my god.

Montour is lol
By 1m per. You also are never getting him for 3 years. Try 6 or 7

More money for shorter term
Less money for longer term

How is that worth is for him? 8.2 x 3 = 24.6
7 x 7 = 49
He could get 7 x 7 every day the week right now.
In 3 years, when the first contract is over and he is 34 and declining, how is he going to make up the other 25m dollars? lol
Thats the whole point. You have to pay for the full length. If you want the good years, you have to pay for the bad years on the back end as well lol
If you want him for 3 years only, its 12m per. MAYBE he has a chance to make up the rest before he retires then. Otherwise, its 7 x 7 min. Maybe 7.5 x 6 if he really wants to play for your team.

Your assessment of NSH needing them is incorrect. NSH does not need them at all. NSH has a large amount of bottom 6 forwards and they don't need to add two more.
