Or Treliving could decide to go for it one final time with this core, who so far has won just one game past the second round of the postseason in their time together. While Nylander is a hot commodity, only earning less than $7 million next year with a modified no-trade clause, the return for the 40-goal scorer last year would be fractional compared to Marner or Matthews’ potential return, which could go a long way in completing this roster. And this would only be heightened if Marner and Matthews were earning more per season. While hypothetically both could be extended while staying under the cap, this postseason showed that the needs defensively and between the pipes outweighed the star power in front. Habs in Round 1 - as the NHLs oldest rivals face off in the playoffs for the first time in 42 years. So what makes the first month so pivotal for the new GM in Toronto is the No Movement Clause attached to Matthews and Marner’s contracts, which kick into effect July 1.
The former Hart Trophy winner Matthews will certainly be asking for north of $11 million a season, and he’s not wrong in doing so, which should not be blindsiding Toronto by any means since they missed their window of extending him early.īut this could prohibit their ability to extend Marner, who led the team in points last season and is already making $10.9 million a year.
