Holy shit that's a bad contract. Holy yikes.

$9.5 million a year? Really?

Don’t worry, he’ll retire in Arizona from athletes foot.

 

[Marty Party]

Eight years! Wow.

 

[ranold26]

 

[Ziggdiezan]

9.5 x 8 after 2 pretty poor seasons? What is going on. This flat cap what supposed to lower AAVs but I guess the mid and lower tier guys will take the brunt of it.

 

[pommy80]

So much for the "flat cap"..

Does this mean that Toews is leaning towards retirement, which would help create the cap room?

 

[mriswith]

LOL

Absolutely brutal

 

[Davegarri]

Thanks Chicago for driving up Hamilton's contract for no f***ing reason. He's going to want to get paid and the Devils are really the only team that makes sense at this point. Maybe Seattle, but I doubt it at this point

 

[SI90]

But Miro Heiskanen at 8.45 was too much apparently..

UFA vs RFA

 

[Kairi Zaide]

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

No cap savings at all in the 8th year?! Oh boy

 

[Just Linda]

Absolutely garbage deal.

He isn't 3M better than Rielly, who should slot in at 6.5 or so. He isn't worth a $ more than 8M and that was pushing it

It's not about the Leafs...

But if it was, yes he's that much better.

 

[SI90]

Karlsson and Doughty make more and Jones is better.

 

[TMLeafer]

I like Seth Jones but that AAV is bonkers

 

[Advanced stats]

Wow. Today is wild.

So many big deals tossed around

 

[Koivu11]

I didn’t think he’d get that much. Wow.

 

[unicornpig]

Ridiculous overpayment

 

[Nothingbutglass]

It's not about the Leafs...

But if it was, yes he's that much better.

Dubas laughs at that puny contract.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Hawks are better with Jones now, but that contract could hurt them down the road

 

[Marty Party]

Well good for him. I met him once during his rookie season in Nashville. Good, down to earth guy back then.

 

[Sam Pollock]

The rich get richer!
Just once I want to see a big name get moved to Arizona or Calgary or something

And what's wrong with Tyler Pitlick?

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Well worth this investment.

 

[NewLife]

Why being so f***ing insane?!

 

[hamzarocks]

N

It's not about the Leafs...

But if it was, yes he's that much better.

Nope not in the least.

Jones comparable deals will be Rielly, Hamilton, Lindholm

Those guys will make 6.5M to 8M and he should be in that range as well. He isn't a top 10 d-man in the league

 

[JT Kreider]

Karlsson and Doughty make more and Jones is better.

That's a good way to put it
