If he is willing to do that, their top 3 won't be that overpaid when the cap explodes.
Washington and Pittsburgh did not have high profile d when they won their cups. Letang and Carlsson aren't significantly better than Rielly and what they had after those 2 on d wasn't spectacular. They did have good goaltending, but the Leafs can find a goalie and improve the d with Nylander's contract.

Tavares has earned his money thus far, and he’s the captain. He’s already made over $100M, it wouldn’t be surprising if he did them a real solid, and took between $5-6M AAV. Or he could go full Bergeron and sign for like $2.5M, if he really wanted to maximize his chances.
The captain of the leafs team that ends that drought will more than make it up on the back end.
