Forget splashing free agency cash, Maple Leafs should instead follow an NBA model
Article content Back in 2016, a massive revenue spike stemming from a monster new television deal caused the NBA's salary cap to take a Michael Jordan-sized leap from $70 million US to $94.1 million. The nearly 35% spike allowed the Golden State Warriors to create a dynasty by signing superstar Kevin Durant, but it also resulted in some epic mistakes that hurt teams and might have outright crippled some had the cap not kept accelerating (it was $109 million just three years later). Timofey Mozgov, a centre who barely played, got $65 million over four years; Andre Drummond, who has never moved the needle, got $130 million over five, similar to what Nic Batum got to be an OK starter. Other duds abounded as teams seemed to feel that they simply had to take part in the bidding and come away with something to show their fans. We could see similar events unfolding this summer in the NHL. Per Spotrac, 19 of the league's 32 teams have at least $15 million in cap space available with 11 teams, including the Maple Leafs, boasting at least $23 million. There's going to be a spending spree borne of a fear of missing out.
