In his September 3 «Between the Posts» post, Howard Berger quoted an unnamed former Maple Leafs' worker who said:
«It doesn't matter if the Leafs miss the playoffs, get knocked out again in the first round or win the Stanley Cup, one of Matthews, Marner or Nylander will be traded � either at the regular�season deadline or next summer. Management knows and has constantly discussed this scenario, understanding there is no way for the team to maintain, or improve, its defense without such a move. That includes re�signing Morgan Rielly, or finding a replacement. After the coming season, it's over for the Big 4 up front.»
I honestly agree with him. 40M$ for 4 players is way too much. That is 50% of the Salary Cap.
The question is which one of the 4?
