That vocal minority online is definitely affecting my judgment of the book. I wasn't planning on picking it up because I generally don't read Superman, but I did have some interest. It's been hard to find something that isn't "here's another reason why you shouldn't read this", though.

What is Bendis doing? I've only read the excerpt from DC Nation #0, but it seems like with every issue more people are turning against this run.

Also what is going on with that art?

I almost never save things for later when playing Control Mage. If I've got a solid target for a removal spell that will put me in a better situation than I am now, I use it.

There's so many removal spells in the deck. It's like Elixirs in a Final Fantasy game. You conserve them all thinking you'll need them later then the game ends and you realize you should have just used them earlier.

What if he stays the same.

I don't think he has to be better as long as he remains consistent.

Maybe with some of the star power of the Leafs he'll perform better, regardless of whether he "gets better", if you know what I mean.

I've always heard of 27 as the prime year, but that might be a baseball thing.

Apparently the Sharks were offering 13 million for Tavares.

I think a difference between Tavares and some of those comparisons, particularly Nash, is that he's still only 27 years old.

He theoretically should be in his prime right now. I think it's unfair to say his best years are behind him, unless we get a Mike Richards situation where he falls off the face of the Earth.

Yeah, of course. I didn't mean to come off so strongly there.

I think a major part of the hype comes from how high profile it was. When was the last time a player of this percieved caliber came on the market? Has it ever happened? Sure, better players, like Stamkos, have nearly reached this point, but no one has actually become a full-on July 1st UFA like this.

Hell, it still might be an overpayment, who knows.

All I'm saying is that it's so much more complex than 8 < 11 so the contract is bad.

I feel like he could have got more than 11 million when you look at some other contracts.


Which ones?

Ovechkin is making 9.5
Crosby 8.7
Giroux 8.3
Stamkos 8.5

Do you think he's better than any of those guys (all of whom are a lot more playoff tested)


Every year contracts get higher. You can't even go 2 years back without numbers not making sense.

Everyone must be overrated since Gretzky was only making 2 million a year.

You've got to look at percentage of the cap to make the numbers work.


All of those guys signed their contracts when they were considered to be top 3 players in the world not top 15


That has nothing to do with it, though. Are you aware of how the cap has increased over the last few years, or do you see that 11 is larger than 8 therefore it's an overpayment?

Look at the chart. JT is at 13.8% of the cap in year 1. Kopitar and Malkin show similar percentages. Are they top 3 in the world?

I just don't understand how anyone can only take the raw dollar figures at face value and come to the conclusion that it was an overpayment.

https://www.reddit.com/r/leafs/comments/8vbbtw/the_mapleleafs_have_agreed_to_terms_with_free/e1m0rf4/

I'm not computer savvy enough to copy that chart over here, so I'll just link it. It aligns the numbers better than "this number is higher than this number, even though the smaller number was signed X many years ago".

11 million isn't peanuts, but if he signed for 12 or 12.5 here or somewhere else, I don't think that'd be an overpayment.

But we'll see. Obviously I'm being incredibly biased here.

JVR is a one-dimensional player. He does what he does very well, but his defense is bad and he gets shut down in the playoffs.

Tavares can match him offensively at the very least, is one of the best two way centres in the league, and he's a centre.

I feel like he could have got more than 11 million when you look at some other contracts.

Now obviously the Leafs defense is still an issue, but this easily makes them a better team than they were last year.

Sad to see Bozak and JVR gone, even if it's for the better. Sucks that these guys had to endure the garbage years and move on right as the team is on the upswing.

Tavares would be a solid replacement, though.
