Chris Tanev Is A Leaf! - D Signs 6-Year/$4.5M Deal With Maple Leafs 

He’s still a good player.

longer the term, lower the annual salary... I guarantee he'll end up on LTIR for the last couple years of his contract

​@krazyshady902 yeah then they'll be penalized

​@@red3here at 34 yeah, at 37-40? We'll find out.

And injury prone.

yes... Lupulville on Robidas Island is a nice little town to retire in.

Dupee here apparently signing up for another season from the same Dupers!

(fixed an error)

Can’t score so this gives us a shot

You’re putting your hope on a 34 year old?? Hahahahahaha that’s why their the laughs:p

thats when the leafs scam the league and bury him in the hospital.

Only if he is healthy for the playoffs.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to be a really good contract because it's probably going to go from Elite to LTIR.

Until 6 months from now when "fans" lose their minds that he isn't putting up points every game.

@@rusty7699 he's not making big money so its fine

Hahaha, the sens have a better chance of winning in the next 2 years than the leafs

You still have the core four, so, you have no chance of winning.

@@scottmiller8617 this is the funnest joke man you know that ottawa isnt going to win shit in the next 3-4 years and werent sens fans saying that they were going to be better then the leafs last year and look what happen, dont even compare the sens to the leafs lmfao

​@masterpip1622 sens will be better than the leafs in 3-4 years 😂 but neither is going to sniff a cup final

@masterpip1622 sens made the ECF in 2017. When is the last time your joke of a franchise went that far? When your dad was a baby? Hahahah. Gtfoh

They owned his rights, a contract wasn't signed yet.

@@jessestewart3835 nope he actually re uploaded this exact video. It was like 30 minutes before he re-upload it..

The Panthers celebrations are forced to be rushed or postponed to make up for it too.

Yeah, it’s kinda sad. The execs are hungover as hell when they gotta get on the jet to the draft in Vegas.

I barely cared about the final due to the timing. The playoffs need to end by the first week of june, at the latest.

I don't see a coherent step in any right direction yet. Same as last year actually, couple decent signings that make sense, couple ones that make no sense. Overall there's no real move because it's the exact same core again so far. I'd say at least he finally fired Keefe, but he only kept him in place as someone to fire as scapegoat for his first year not working. It was a weak move to keep him as an excuse and essentially punt the first season.

6 years at 34 years old?? That’s a step in the right direction for you?? 🤣🤣

​@@SidiousPalp I think firing your GM with just a month until draft and free agency was a bad start. He was not put into a situation to succeed anyway.... Let's see how it goes but Tanev will be good for 2 years but thats it. Toronto's window to Win the cup is closing fast. Their stars are getting older....they need to make these moves.

Would not be surprised if after 2 or 3 years he just gets put on LTIR for the rest of his contract

Isn't Brodie a UFA? Did they sign him again?

lol

I agree. It will be a nightmare if he needs season ending surgery, around 50 or 60 games into the season. Let's face it, it is highly possible too.

He plays for the stars.

Well damn, he was looking pretty good in the playoffs

Stats are not on your side Tha vast majority of pro athletes regardless of sport are at their statistical peak between 27-32. Anyone outside of that is an outlier.

@@chrisdranfield3828 Are they though? We’re specifically talking hockey and NHL hockey here. I was also talking “many” not “all” nor “majority”. Even by your argument, three of the six years you suggested are in their 30s. I’ve watched plenty of games. Goal scoring isn’t a common; they’re hard earned and it takes a team effort. As far as making plays for the team it’s very evident if you watch; many of the best players are in their 30s. I prefer to go by what I see than stats, but let’s look at various stats; see how many are in their third decade in the top 25. I didn’t say all, but there are clearly many. The guy who just won The Stanley Cup for the Panthers (Bob) is 35. We’ll go with the finals since that’s the most recent play in the NHL. Their other goaltender, Stolie, is 30. Look how many players in their 30s scored goals just during the finals; Ekholm, Henrique, Tarasenko, Nugent-Hopkins, Montour, Perry, Janmark, Hyman, Ekman-Larsson, Rodrigues, and that doesn’t include assists or the plays/efforts that got the goalscorers the puck. If I got my stats correct Edmonton had what, 10 players in their 20s and 12 players in their 30s; while Florida had 13 players in their 20s, and 9 in their 30s. The biggest obstacle for both teams was excellent goaltending. There were, I think, 41 goals total scored by 24 different players. Of those 24 players 10 are in their 30s, some with multiple goals, including the guy with the most goals scored: Evan Rodrigues. Yeah, I think it’s fair to say my assessment that there are currently a lot of great players in their 30s in the NHL is a good one. McDavid haters already talk BS about his age, at freaking 27. So yeah, ageism and negating people because of their age is stupid.

@@LisaMarieFord I’m sorry that your feeling don’t believe the stats. But overall over a players career their best statistical seasons will fall in the 26-30 age range. Obviously this doesn’t happen for 100 percent of players but for the vast majority this holds true I do like that your eg is talking about a single series to talk about some older players who scored goals. You fail to mention that none of those older players are the reason their team was there. Both of them are carried by players on their mid 20s Florida , ekblad ,forsling,barkov, Reinhart,tkachuk. Oilers, draiastl,mcdavid,Bouchard. You talk about the few elite players who are older and still effective in the league failing to take notice that most players that play in the league retire before 32.

@@chrisdranfield3828 Aww, you brought feelings into it. How sweet. (note sarcasm). Why because I gave you examples that support my opinion or to attempt to patronize me? Interesting that you have now changed the age range for your “statistics.” 🤔 You’re generalizing of what you think it should be and not looking at the great players in the league. None of my comments are about other sports nor about generalization. None of my comments negate the great players that are in their 20s or their teens. They’re purely about not discounting nor discrediting someone and their skills based simply on their age. As previously mentioned there are some already doing this for some of the best players in the league that are still in their 20s. I’m willing to bet you didn’t look up those top 25 players in each place for either the regular or playoffs seasons, did you? Whose the top skater? Come on, guess… whose the top skater in the league with the most points during the regular season? Don’t know? That would Nikiti Kucherov, who is 31, followed by Mackinnon and McDavid, and then Panerin, who is let me see, 32. So top four skaters and half of them are in their 20s, half in their 30s. 🤔 Out of the top 5 goal scorers three are in their 20s and two are in their 30s. The goaltender who has the best average during the 23-24 regular season at the ages of 29-30 during the season? Who is Anthony Stolarz? Actually the top three goaltenders with the best save percentage during regular season are all in their 30s. I could give you more regular season and more playoff examples, but why waste my time. You’ve already dismissed the ones given, despite the undeniable evidence. You can also look these things up yourself, you’re just choosing not to. You’re seemingly close-minded and set on being agist. More’s the pity. Meanwhile, players will go on playing well. Dismissing or negating players because of their age is ignorant. It’s ignorant if someone does it for a player in their 30s. It’s ignorant if someone does it for players in their 20s. Oh, please, go tell the Florida Panthers or Panthers’ fans that their season, playoff run, and Stanley Cup win was “carried by players in their mid 20s”, not a team effort, and give them your honest opinion about players in their 30s. I’m sure Bob’s fanbase wouldn’t have an issue with that at all. Just keep in mind Matthew Tkachuk is one of those.

Similar to the NBA

They are counting on Minten and Cowan being able to contribute asap, I think.

Who could have done Tanev’s job better? Hmmmmmm for that cap hit, hmmmmmmmm.
