That is a glaring comparision.

Ouch. Sums up why it is not possible for the Leafs to get through one round in the playoffs.

Usually when a team starts losing players due to the cap it is because they have been consistently successful which of course increases player bargaining power.

I don't want to just pick on the Leafs. The Canucks have lost players due to boat anchor contracts and poor cap management as well.


put yourself in a FA's shoes when the leafs say sign with us so you can carry our underperforming stars into the next round of the playoffs while taking far less money

but those guys will live at least 3x better than you.

what a great opportunity

Higher taxes than most teams too and a very high cost of living.

Your dollar is not going to get you as far compared to other markets with less taxes and lower living costs. Even if you are wealthy it is still a consideration.

media is crazy
i get google article things on my phone and they are talking about the leafs and how they might lose hymen and the article is like but will hymen be the same on another team? is is heart going to be there if hes not in toronto?
and its the same shit on tsn the guys are so homer they act like everybody should sign dirt cheap to the leafs and current players should take a discount and be so loyal just cause its the leafs .... are they smoking crack dubas is a push over players do the total opposite

is Toronto media coverage seriously this brainwashed are they trying to fool the players into thinking the same as them by repetitiveness in the media or what the fuck


also friedman reported flyers likely not going to get a jones deal done because hes not "willing to extend with them right away"
if they do get him they gotta have a big season prove they can win and maybe he will extend but that will be a big risk for the cost there is likely better options if thats the case


It's normal, they always talk about the leafs. That's why a lot of fans outside of Toronto get annoyed by it. A little info here and there is obviously fine, but the problem is they overwhelmingly talk as if leafs are like tampa and won couple cups and has several more chances for more. Most recent example I can think of is during the Habs VS Jets series broadcast, they're still talking about how the leafs could've done better than Jets, etc. Bro stfu, ur team choked and blew away a 3-1 series lead against the Habs first and pretty much threw away a golden opportunity to go to the finals by playing just 1 team outside of the Canadian division lol.

They're actually not taxed hard, Leafs use the signing bonus loophole when it comes to taxes
