@@TMBpk This has already been said if the leafs get caught trying to get out of the contract there will be massive penalties. Vancouver got caught on the lu contract for the same thing. You have to be very careful trying to do that.
Money is fine, he’s been on 4.5 for the last 10 years, so it’ll look fine as the cap goes up 4m every year. It’s too much term, but that’s what happens signing UFAs in a competitive market.
The way he plays makes him a very sought after player and exactly what the leafs need. But it also causes a lot of injuries and you would think affects his longevity. I don't expect him to make it another 6 years.
4.5 AAV for the best defenseman available. That’s totally fine with me. WHO CARES about the term, he can retire anytime or move to LTIR. Leafs print money it doesn’t matter. The issue I have is their same 4 guys are still up front. The same guys that do not deliver in the playoffs.
Yup, but as a Canadian not licking Toronto telecoms, I'll love their signings. Hearing the Homers cover other teams every playoffs is always funny. Stop being homers, & learning on-the-fly won't be as painful.
I find it funny how tanev is considered old, Reilly is only 4 yrs younger.. Reilly best days are be hind him, his ability was his legs, the leagues gotten faster and he's loosing speed yearly.
Really bad day for the leafs. Ekman Larson was bought out for a reason. Tanev would have been a great pick up if this was 5 years ago. Zadorov was the dman I was hoping to land and he went to Boston of all places. Will be more of the same for the leafs because they didn’t improve much on the back end or in net. Have not been too impressed with Treliving so far. First Reaves and Klingberg, now ekman larsson and Tanev. I hope he doesn’t trade marner and signs him long term, despite all of the hate from leaf fans marner is a solid player that doesn’t get replaced with the scraps that we are seeing Treliving pick up each year.
They Money isn't bad but it's way too much term. Is he going to play first pair minutes ?? He's not a top pair defenseman. But of course neither is Rielly.
Typical leafs comments. Oh no. They got exactly what we needed he checks off the right boxes. But why not for half the money and 2 years and then only when we need him. Dillusional fans. Look into the entirety of the situation before whining.
Too much money for a senior citizen in the NHL. The Leafs keep doing this since the 90's. Signing senior citizen players and giving them retirement money.😂🤣
one a stupidity scale of 1-10 it's a leaf special 10. the worst run sports franchise continues toward futility - as bad or worse than Tavares' contract.
to much andthen tol long tanev has a tough time staying healfhy for a month let alone 6 years. This guy will be on the ice in wheel chair by then. Treiliving is the worst GM in the league for this Look at what he did in calgary. To many old guys with long term deals
