[Quick]

don't worry, a year from now Marleau will suddenly be allergic to the new jerseys or something

Marleau Island has a nice ring to it.

 

[Socreges]

NEED DOPEY RATIONALE STAT

 

[ElephantShell]

Gross.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

 

[Red_Man]

46 points last season......that's a lot of money they've tied themselves to for 3 years. Seems unnecessary. Wonder how much Babcock played into this decision.

 

[RC]

Lol leafs.

 

[Curufinwe]

6.25 AAV for a 38 year old is fucking insane.

And I saw some Flyers fans getting ready to be mad if Hextall gave Williams two years at $4m.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

JVR gonzo then?

 

[zroid]

good bye jvr

good lordddddddddddd

Lou has somehow locked up 25 million dollars in 35+ contracts

 

[Reckheim]

UGH ... that was bad.

 

[Socreges]

Ooh I've got it...

The Leafs have so much cap space that they can afford to blow millions over the next three years. In so doing they raise the average cap hit and handcuff other teams! It's brilliant!

 

[Quick]

Damn, Raps just signed Lowry too.

TORONTO SPORTS.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Marleau Island has a nice ring to it.

The Island of Dr. Marleau

 

[DopeyFish]

YESSSSSSSSS

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I'm sure Marleau wanted to retire as a Shark, but with that offer from the Leafs... who wouldn't take that?

 

[lupinko]

Marleau Island has a nice ring to it.

Nah, more like the Island of Dr. Marleau.

[Marvie_3]

I love Marleau but thats a FUCKING STUPID contract. Lololololol

It's fine really. You just have to watch live (no delay) and carefully align it with the radio broadcast.

Alternatively you can just turn down the sound and use your imagination. It's what I often do. Admittedly, I do miss JK.. but my imagination is FAR less annoying doing color.

Nice that Blues and Hawks fans can agree on things.

I guess.

Pang is just fucking terrible. Can we send him and Eddie Olczyk to the Coyotes or some other shit teams broadcasts?

 

[Cactus]

I would be completely fine with the money and NMC if it was 2 years. The third year is what kind of makes me worried.

The point of this is that now JVR (who was probably asking for 7x7) can be traded without losing his 25 goals.

 

[ElephantShell]

Dubas is gonna be pissed when he inherits these awful contracts from grandpa Lou.

 

[Cake Boss]

@DimFilipovic: [Leafs make a good move] Praise be Dubas

[Leafs make a questionable move] Ugh Lou is at it again

Lol

35 year old vs 38 year old

$800K vs $18.75M

 

[CreeperBlocks]

 

[zroid]

$14.5M signing bonus

you can't buy out a 35+ contract anyway though, so w/e

lmao

 

[iLLmAtlc]

This is probably the contract they needed to get Jumbo Joe to sign too fam

 

[Red_Man]

So JVR is on the move for a D man now right?

 

[Reckheim]

So JVR is on the move for a D man now right?

Let's hope so. But still wtf.

 

[Fata1moose]

:lol What the hell Leafs.

Price is making less than double of Marleau at 38, so that doesn't look so pricey now.

 

[imBask]

JVR for Mete?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

In the last year of Marleau's deal, Matthews and Marner will be RFAs, and Gardiner will be a UFA.

Hmmm I'm sure he'll be fine and play out his final year.....

 

[Acid08]

END OF AN ERA FUCK LOL

 

[Merguson]

Thornton: come back man we've got it good here.. why join them? have you seen steve simmons?

Marleau: look at this contract offer

Thornton: yo hook me up

 

[Yawnier]

What the fuck Lou

 

[Line_HTX]

Gawd dayyum, Toronto

😱😱

 

[Acid08]

Kind of wish the Leafs did end up getting Thornton now, because if you're going to be absolutely stupid about money at least go all in.

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
JVR-Thornton-Marner

Thornton still hasn't signed anything so I wouldn't say it's impossible.

 

[Red_Man]

So Radulov is definitely gone now. Farewell sweet prince.

I was just thinking about this too.

 

[lupinko]

I thought he did, so Jumbo just has a verbal intent with the Sharks right now then?

 

[Holiday]

LOU DA GAWD
LOU DA GAWD

LOU DA GAWD

The godfather evil genius Lou, handing out shit contracts! What a mastermind, working his cap magic.

 

[Acid08]

Yeah, the supposed deal was reported on but nothing official yet.

With Marleau leaving, I really hope Thornton stays. I don't know if I can handle both leaving at once.

 

[Quick]

Marleau deal broken down:

Year 1: $8.5
Year 2: $6
Year 3: $4.25

 

[Yawnier]

If the Leafs are gonna dip into some of the LTIR money from Lupul and Horton for the next season or two they might as well go all in

Those rookie bonus overages tho.....

 

[ElephantShell]

I had accepted the Hainsey deal. I was okay with the Moore deal. Now this.

There truly is no such thing as a smart management team in the NHL. All it would take is for someone with half a brain to get into an NHL management team and they'd dominate the league forever.

 

[DopeyFish]

If Leafs go all in on Thornton

RIP our cap

 

[Coldnoodle]

Leafs should go all in while guys like Matthews, Nylander and Marner are on their ELC's.

They're ready to contend now.

 

[zroid]

Figuring out what to do with that cap hit in year 3 when Matthews, Nylander, and Marner are making a combined $24 million is going to be... a challenge

We'll do nothing.

There's a lockout.
