![[Leafs projected roster] this looks amazing - best leafs line up in years](https://preview.redd.it/kw02gdtkpfbh1.png?auto=webp&s=b78f0b4a4ba00be926ca67effda1207b30cd7df1)
Not only are the top 6 amazing but the bottom 6 have playoff Gerth, and amazing shutdown abilities, I believe the bottom 6 will act as defensive anchors to allow the Matthews and Tavares lines to be out of the defensive zone and do what they do best. The defence isn't looking too bad either, a mix of shutdown and puck moving offence is exactly what the team needs.
Before:
"Man what are the Leafs doing???"
After:
Trouba signs for the same hit
Nurse has positive value
Desharnais gets 4 mill
Byram signs for 12.5 mill
Carlsson gets 10 mill more than DR
"I'd like to humbly apologize good sirs"

43.2% of all players have some form of movement clause.
| Clause Type | Count | % of Players |
|---|---|---|
| None | 407 | 56.8% |
| M-NTC | 137 | 19.1% |
| NMC | 121 | 16.9% |
| NTC | 51 | 7.1% |
Older players who have bigger contracts are more likely to get a NMC
| Clause | Avg Age | Avg Cap % |
|---|---|---|
| NMC | 31.4 | 8.52% |
| NTC | 31.1 | 5.69% |
| M-NTC | 31.1 | 5.74% |
When it comes to positions, Right Wingers seem to not get clauses as often, interesting data quirk. This even more odd when you realize that RW tends to get about 6 pts more on avg than LW
| POS | % With Clause |
|---|---|
| D | 46.4% |
| LW | 45.4% |
| G | 45.1% |
| C | 40.8% |
| RW | 37.5% |
Once a contract goes beyond 3 years they almost always have trade protection of some kind, and 2-year deals are the least likely to have any protection.
| Length (Years) | % With Clause |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20.0% |
| 2 | 11.3% |
| 3 | 23.7% |
| 4 | 64.4% |
| 5 | 67.2% |
| 6 | 67.3% |
| 7 | 73.9% |
| 8 | 83.9% |
On average, a full NMC contract is going to players with:
Roughly 50+ points
Over 8.5% of the salary cap
More than 6-year contracts
Signing as a UFA (80% of clauses go to UFAs vs 20% to RFAs/RFA-Arb)
Toronto has the most total clauses (15)
Florida leads in NMCs specifically (11)
Where a player was drafted has very little to do with them getting a trade protection clause. If you are able to stick in the NHL long enough to get a clause and perform well enough, your draft location doesn't factor into it at all.
I assumed it would be Matthews-JT-McKenna-Nylander-Raddysh? Or does Knies bump JT off?
McKenna being the distributor and AM, Willie, and Raddysh being the shooters.

When Bob originally signed a massive contract with Florida, a lot of people were skeptical of it and during his first few years he did anything but quiet that skepticism. He put up 900 and 906 save percentage in the season (900 used to be like 890, so not good at all), he was 77th/85 goalies in GSAE in 2019 on one of the biggest contracts in the league, 74th/98 goalies in GSAE in 2020. A truly abysmal start coupled with his terrible playoffs, 901 in 2019 and 841 in 3 games in 2020 save percentage. It seemed like it was more of what plagued in his early Philly and Columbus days, all for only the cheap cost of 10 million dollars (basically 13 mill today).
But like always, Bob bounced back and proved everyone wrong, he bounced back after Philly gave up on him after 7 bad playoff games over the course of 2 seasons winning the Vezinas in Columbus and he bounced back after his terrible start in Florida and won the Cups (and could've won a Connie in there too).
Hell even in that last Toronto series, game 1 and 2 Bob (even start of game 3) looked like Philly playoff Bob or early Florida playoff Bob, we owned him and then he did what he always did and bounced back and locked tf in, rekting us in the process.
So to give us all more hopium, Bob's bounceback factor is insane, he is a guy that has dealt with adversity all the time, he was undrafted, he was taken off the case many times due to his poor performances, but he always bounced back.
Anybody have any new info on Max’s current condition? I’m a huge fan from the east coast and am just SO hoping he is gonna play again!! Thanks
Seattle has made it known they want to trade him this summer. Thoughts on him joining this current iteration of the leafs?
