@StatBoy_Steven @TheMugNHL @spittinchiclets Okay, 1 year bridge deal then and then the price goes up to 20M+ next summer. Ducks are COOKED 😂🍗🦆

@TheMugNHL @spittinchiclets Cutter Gauthier has zero leverage. He's not eligible for an offer sheet, can't go to arbitration. Verbeek holds all the cards here. Gauthier has to sign by December 1st to even play in this season, otherwise he's sitting on his couch for a year and is in the same boat in 2027.

Keith Yandle said he was “fed a little tidbit” that Cutter Gauthier won’t take a penny less than $18 million AAV. @spittinchiclets

What did I get wrong? I went bold to create a discussion for y'all!

@_pruett_ Lmao, you nailed it bud, ducks beat a HEAVILY injured Oilers squad making them look way better than they actually are. Hilarious to see these massive overpays for a bunch of mid prospects. Welcome to cap hell 😂

@FjPc5818 Lmfao you do not need to do that because both of those players cooked Darnell nurse in the last playoffs and he still got assets back in return for him so you’re just unequivocally wrong

The Carlsson discourse is crazy the cap is rising they can trade a vet who makes too much (Kreider or Killorn) both Leo and Cutter can fit under the cap and they can still ice a very good hockey team holy hell. I know it’s not ideal but it’s possible can we stop acting otherwise

@dsilver88 Slaf signed that deal 2 years ago when the cap landscape was drastically different. No way Gautier gets done under 10M. Ducks are cooked! 😂

Anaheim has roughly $10 mil in cap space to sign Gauthier Comparable would be Slafkovsky from same draft - Slaf scored 73 pts this year and Gauthier scored 69 Slaf is on 8yr deal for $7.6 mil AAV Feels like if Anaheim wants to match they certainly can make it work

@EdmOilerlytics Just play him on the 3rd pair and tell him to hit everything that moves, then trade him to the highest bidder next offseason

First it was they wanted to get it done by draft. Then it was get it done by free agency, now it’s get it done by August. Not happening this season.

@LeafSingh Leafs first round is against the..... Oh... Right... Hilarious franchise 😂

Oilers first round is against the kings for the 4th year in a row. Or the Utah mammoth. Hilarious division

@ProducerDrew_ At least we have a general manager 😂

This makes the Oilers front office look so bad 😂

@Jb5haw @TLNdc Sure buddy, just like his mentor Tavares did with the islanders. I'm sure Matthews is just dying to anchor himself to the leafs sinking ship! 🤡

@FjPc5818 @TLNdc Matthews will have a deal done in principle with Toronto before he’s even allowed to sign it lmao

Report: Maple Leafs, Matthews reaffirm commitment to each other, begin process of selling theleafsnation.com/news/report-to…

@stevetulloch04 @LeafsUpdates21 This is the guy who was Matthews mentor and taught him everything he knows. You are seriously telling me that Matthews is not going to follow in his footsteps?? Will be a full circle moment when he leaves Toronto for nothing, that's the culture Tavares brought to TO!

@FjPc5818 @LeafsUpdates21 Misleading. While Tavares was committed to staying in Long Island, he was encouraged by his agent to at least listen to offers. He ultimately changed his mind because the leafs finally did something right. reddit.com/r/hockey/s/QqG…

Friedman says Leafs had a chat with Matthews' representatives this week and each side reaffirmed their commitment to each other.

@NHLRumourReport Just remember leafs fans, things can change in a hurry!

Elliotte Friedman: I've been kinda hearing there's been a lot of talk about Auston Matthews and whether or not he wants to stay, I don't think that's a question; I think it would have to get a lot worse than this before he would ask to be traded - 32 Thoughts (1/30)

@puckempire @FriedgeHNIC History repeats itself...

Elliotte Friedman says he "bets" that Auston Matthews wants to stay in Toronto, despite their struggles this season. He says if he was Toronto, he'd talk with Matthews to ensure he wants to stay, but he says his bet would be that he does. @FriedgeHNIC

@NHLRumourReport Just gunna leave this here...

Chris Johnston: Re Maple Leafs: My impression of Auston Matthews is, I don't think they need to do anything and be really gentle around him, I think he's still very committed to being a Leaf; I don't sense at all his commitment waning - OverDrive (1/27)

@Leafslatest Remember leafs fans, things can change in a hurry! nbcsports.com/nhl/news/no-su…

🚨 Auston Matthews remains fully committed to the Leafs and isn’t expected to come up in trade talks, even if the Leafs choose to sell. He made a long-term commitment to Toronto a few years ago, and even with a tough season, he isn’t interested in breaking that commitment. “I don’t think Auston is going anywhere. I don’t think he has a desire to go anywhere.” Toronto could soon however enter a phase where some players become available, including UFAs and RFAs. Names like Nic Roy and OEL could even come up. “Would they be available? I think, you know, that’s going to be a question. I think we’re going to start to hear over the next little while about what Toronto is willing to do.” Reports @FriedgeHNIC / @NHLMedia (Via youtu.be/RqspGjebKEQ?si…) #leafsforever

@Steve_Dangle Austin Matthews (half retained) for Darnell Nurse. Who says no???

LFR tonight. Hit me with your questions.

@TalkeyHockey Pinning this tweet for when the leafs finish with the 6th overall pick 💀

If Matthews is hurt, shut him down for the year. Trade guys with 1 year left for picks/prospects. The 1st is top 5 protected. Ensure you finish with a top 5 pick and retool in the summer. Whatever it is, Leafs don't have it this year. And no. It's not because Marner left.

@JesseBlake @sdpnsports Aaaaaand there it is. Toronto is turning on another superstar. Just like they did with Marner. Only a matter of time until Matthews is wearing another teams jersey.

Berube on the long process of trying to get the Matthews line rolling: “It’s obviously not good enough. I don’t feel like they have any sustained pressure in the offensive zone.” “I’m getting tired of it to be honest with you.” @sdpnsports 😳
