Weekes: Leafs nearing $5M AAV deal for Tanev

[WetcoastOrca]

Just when you think GM’s learned from all of those previous bad long term contracts to older players. Along comes Brad.

 

[BLNY]

Where’s the years mentioned ?

It's been claimed that to combat the tax differences that Toronto would have to give him more years than he might get in the US. Some talking heads thought he might even get 7 years.

He's definitely a legitimate LTIRetirement candidate.

 

[Cancuks]

And then they'll max out their cap with Bertuzzi signing and the team will be no different except for adding Tanev.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

I don’t get why anyone would sign less than a day before the open market but more power to Tanman I guess.

If it’s $5 million for 5 or 6 years Tanev probably didn’t want any take backs.

 

[Quinning]

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Has to be 3 years or less right?

 

[TheNumber4]

This guy will regress almost IMMEDIATELY.

Do it Tre! Rebuild your crappy Flames in the East.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Anything more than 3 years would be BAD

 

[Regal]

If it’s $5 million for 5 or 6 years Tanev probably didn’t want any take backs.

Sure but I can’t imagine that’s the term. Probably looked into doing a long term and then decided shorter for more AAV was better

 

[Sypher04]

Anything more than 3 years would be BAD

Meh. I’m fine with up to 4

 

[Mr Positive]

The fear would be if Treliving remembered Tanev from what he was a couple years ago vs what he will be with another year gone and another injury sustained

 

[BallardEra]

Will be 3 years.

 

[Sky04]

This guy will regress almost IMMEDIATELY.

Do it Tre! Rebuild your crappy Flames in the East.

Says the guy with Nurse at 9M on his team LOL

The Leafs went from having a bright future/cheap superstar talent. Draft picks all lined up. In 8 years and 1 playoff round win they have become a barren/veteran/slow/expensive team. What a f***ing disaster. f*** Dubas and f*** Treliving

 

[BergyWho37]

Do it .. doooo it!

 

[Breakers]

How are insiders this damn slow at finding the term

 

[Arthur Morgan]

wait... what? 6x5m?

 

[Turin]

The Leafs window is short

Only reason for that to be the case is if Treliving bungles it.

 

[Sypher04]

The sky is falling nonsense after every piece of Leafs news is f***ing exhausting

 

[MoreMogilny]

Trade for him to just throw 5m per??

I can’t get on board with this if it’s longer than 3 years. Even than that’s pushing it

 

[Nothingbutglass]

If only Kyle Dubas was here to stop this

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Oh, this is not good. I'd take like 3.5 at 6 or 7 with the caveat that he retires after 3. Front load the thing and have him sail off into the sunset on his duct tape boat.

 

[JimmyApples]

Man, the Leafs never learn

 

[gach]

Toronto and dmen that break down a year or two after being acquired. Name a more iconic duo

In this case it might be a month or 2
