That term is fairly hard to believe at that cap . Maybe that’s just me

Why? It's what he got for the contract he ended up signing

lol leafs probably dodged a bullet

Montour saved Treliving from himself then.

 

[crowi]

Sounds like Treliving got saved by the player he tried to overpay. Thanks taxes? (even though Seattle has high taxes).

 

[Bizz]

Montour likes playing past the first round.

 

[CanadienShark]

Leafs didn't dodge a bullet, someone else took one for them.

seattle/washington doesn't have income tax tho. he can take the 4 hour drive to oregon for shopping (with no sales tax) once a week.

 

[Sota Popinski]

I guess Montour isn't a pajama boy

 

[Dread Clawz]

Montour saved Treliving from himself then.

Basically. Leafs fans should be praising Montour.

 

[TotalHomer]

Probably still wants to compete for another cup in his lifetime.

Some others are saying that it never got to the point of an offer. Montour did not confirm or deny anything.

 

[Seatoo]

Would rather have the Montour contract than the Taney one

 

[Pucklington]

It's amazing that the media turns non Leafs stories into Leafs stories.

seattle/washington doesn't have income tax tho. he can take the 4 hour drive to oregon for shopping (with no sales tax) once a week.

I'm not sure a multi-million dollar athlete cares about sales tax, let alone driving 4 hours to avoid it...

Unless you are joking.

Montour likes playing past the first round.

Didn't he sign with Seattle?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Didn't he sign with Seattle?

Yes, he did.

 

[Zach716]

My guess is he knew he wouldn't live up to the contract and would be attacked by their fans and media

 

[HabsQC]

Respect +1

 

[Boxertim]

I bet that unless you are outplaying your contract in leaf land, then you are underperforming. Why would you want that when you can go to a city where you dont get that.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Montour respect........0 percent.
Handshake respect...100 percent.

 

[John Mandalorian]

My guess is he knew he wouldn't live up to the contract and would be attacked by their fans and media

Doesn’t that mean he’s more intelligent than Marner and Tavares?

 

[Bizz]

Didn't he sign with Seattle?

Seattle is closer to winning a Cup than Toronto

 

[Amadeus]

Yes there may have been interest. Dont believe for a sec that Leafs offered 7 million or close. We just can't with our cap. Probably offered same money as OEL but we had to turn it down because of Seattle offer.

Giving 7 years to Montour... Treiliving is so bad.
