News: Brandon Montour confirms turning down big offer from Toronto

[Peasy]

Where are these confirmed rumours they offered him 7x7 lmao.

GTFO of here with your click bait ass titles and threads.

They said they had conversations, of course they would. That doesnt mean they went out and offered 7x7.

To be fair, it wouldn’t be the first time Treeliving overpaid for a former Panther.

Seattle is closer to winning a Cup than Toronto

In the nfl maybe...that group is hundred years away from a cup...even Tavares would be seattle's best forward

 

[McSuper]

Montour likes playing past the first round.

So going to a team that will likely miss the playoffs is going to help?

 

[Haatley]

lol leafs probably dodged a bullet

And walked into Oliver Ekman Cannonball

Seattle is closer to winning a Cup than Toronto

Has Seattle even made the playoffs?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Has Seattle even made the playoffs?

Last year

 

[Leaf Fans]

Has Seattle even made the playoffs?

Yes, they upset Colorado last year.

 

[tmg]

Trying to throw shade on the literally newest expansion franchise for a lack of playoff history is pretty low.

Trying to and failing, though, is fantastic.

 

[The Shadow]

Where does it say a big offer?

From what I read it says they had talks

 

[Silky mitts]

Seattle is closer to winning a Cup than Toronto

Before this offseason possibly

Op is being a massive troll with their threads. Takes facts and then adds random thoughts that aren’t out anywhere

 

[Drumman44]

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

Washington State has no income tax

The Kraken have the same amount of playoff round wins as the Leafs do in the last 20 years. So maybe I wouldn’t go throwing stones if I were a Leafs fan.

Montour likes playing past the first round.

Not a Sharks fan trying to chirp

Brandon Montour Confirms Turning Down Offer From Maple Leafs - The Hockey Writers Toronto Maple Leafs Latest News, Analysis & More

In this article, we look at Brandon Montour turning down a contract offer from the Toronto Maple Leafs in free agency.

thehockeywriters.com

Some are saying that the Leafs offered Montour 7 years at 7M per. OEL was the Leafs second option.

Oh really? And who are these 'some' who are saying this?

And the linked story doesn't say he turned down a big offer as the thread title suggest, just that he ultimately decided, for any number of possible reasons, to pick Seattle.

What’s so funny? He’s cheered his team in the Finals.

They have the same number of playoff series wins as Toronto in this millenia. What exactly makes the premier clown franchise in the NHL now that the Coyotes are gone have any more credibility than the Kraken?

Edit: i was wrong but i'm not going to erase the proof of me being a moron.

 

[Puckstuff]

Rielly-Tanev and McCabe-Montour would have been an elite top 4

I mean the sharks have had more way playoff success than the leafs recently, the sharks as a franchise have won 3 playoff rounds in one playoff year...something the fabled maple leafs have never done in their long storied franchise history.

Since the 2004-2005 lockout, the Sharks have 14 playoff series wins, four WCF trips, and a SCF berth. We may not have a Cup but I’ll take our playoff history over the Leafs comfortably. I really couldn’t care less about what the Leafs accomplished when there were only six teams in the whole league and you only needed two series wins to get a Cup.

My only surprise is that it took until the 7th post for someone to say this.

The shot is entirely true, of course, but pretty weak considering it's just so predictable at this point.

I mean that’s just not true.

They have the same number of series wins in the last 20 years. But the Leafs had some first round series wins those first few years of the millennia.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

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

Doesn’t make it a good signing / term ..

 

[TheDoldrums]

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

if he cites business reasons as a reason for choosing seattle it seems pretty likely their offer was bigger

i mean toronto pivoted to a $3.5M deal, it's hard to imagine how they could have fit $7M without some other big moves
