'I don't really have any comment on that except it's pretty funny.' Here's what the Maple Leafs had to say about Eugene Melnyk's 'they’re stuck' comments. (lukefoxjukebox)
To Melnyk’s point, the Maple Leafs have already committed $46.92 million in salary cap space to its forwards for 2019-20 — and that’s prior to signing RFAs Mitch Marner, Kasperi Kapanen and Andreas Johnsson, all of whom are enjoying career seasons and will be due significant raises.
“I’m in this to win, and to win, you know what you have to do,” said Melnyk, referring to his own franchise. “You have to have a young, vibrant team, you have to have the superstars, and you’re gonna have to pay them. If you don’t pay them, somebody else will.” With top-four defenders Jake Gardiner and Ron Hainsey both scheduled to walk, there is widely accepted sense that“We’ve got people questioning everything we do,” said Leafs coach Mike Babcock, when asked about Melnyk’s commentary.
“The great thing about our organization is, we’ve got so much fan support because we’ve got all you guys questioning everything we do. I think you get paid to question everything we do. And you [the media] get paid to sell — I think that’s what your jobs are. So, whatever you gotta do, I don’t spend much time worrying about it.
“We’ve got an unbelievable owner here in Larry Tanenbaum, and we’re blessed to have him. How’s that?”%2Fhockey%2Fnhl%2Fmaple-leafs-respond-senators-owner-eugene-melnyk-ripping-rebuild%2F
