“You take a look at the roster and also you’re identical to, ‘nicely, somethings gotta give,’ as a result of simply as it’s, because it stands proper now, you’ve acquired three additional forwards. And that’s not counting Tanner Pearson.
I imply, Sheldon Dries might be occurring waivers. Jack Studnicka might be occurring waivers. Phil Di Guiseppe, I feel they need to preserve round.
However there’s this query about Tanner Pearson the place clearly Patrik Allvin very positively talking about it, however I feel there’s, was it Dreger who was like, errr, not so positive. Was that the one who mentioned (it)?
However that’s like, proper there, they’re already overloaded. They’ve acquired a full additional line of fellows. You go into coaching camp with extra guys than you want typically as a result of any person’s going to get harm. You’d somewhat have greater than much less.
However they’ve acquired, I imply, proper because it stands, the place does Conor Garland match? The place does Brock Boeser match? The place does Vasili Podkolzin match? The place does Anthony Beauvillier match? The place does, the checklist goes on.
Dakota Joshua’s going to be there trigger they love him.
(Nils) Hoglander’s been signed to a $1.1 million per season deal. That may be a, basically an NHL wage. I imply, as a depth NHL wage.
Somebody’s gotta go. I simply have a tough time seeing them keep it up from right here with that arrange. It simply appears wild, however I suppose we’ll see.
So is it $13.5 million for Matthews however what concerning the time period?
Sportsnet 590 The FAN: Nick Kypreos on the most recent on the Toronto Maple Leafs and an Auston Matthews, William Nylander contract extensions.

JD Bunkis: “When does the subsequent domino occur right here?
Kypreos: “Nicely it’s when Matthews and his agent Judd resolve and I don’t know whether or not we’re in a blinking contest or not between Nylander or Matthews or who must go first.
However, if I’m Auston Matthews I’m not holding my breath on Nylander’s contract getting achieved in any respect at any time this summer season. So how far does Matthews need to go into the season now with no contract?
And Whether it is as shut as all people’s reporting and all people that I’ve talked to says it’s a $13.5 AAV, then what’s the time period?
I feel for me the largest choice proper now, which I feel Auston can’t resolve on or they haven’t made a remaining choice is, is what number of years will, what we consider is a $13.5 AAV, final?”
