The leafs handling of this situation has been kind of dumb in my opinion.
The gm coming out and pledging that they 'can & will' get all their guys signed, yet I am not sure why nylander and his price tag are even required on that roster given they have a formidable forward group.
With Marner creeping towards $9-10M territory and Matthews likely in the $10-12M range, and already having tavares (not to mention Marleau for next year) this was a great year to go all in, seeing as changes are inevitable.
Kapanen and gardiner are also up for new contracts this offseason.
