Weekes: Leafs nearing $5M AAV deal for Tanev

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

For 2, maybe 3 years ?

If its 4, or 5 this is f***ing stupid.

 

[Magic Man]

At worst it's the Demelo contract. Or Brodie's old contract. 5M per for 4 years.

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

I hope its a 5+ year deal omg im so excited for leaf fans!!

 

[TommyDangles]

Next Summer

Should the Leafs buyout Tanev's contract?

 

[TheScandal89]

The term probably won't matter cause he'll be LTIR'd for the last couple of years of it. But if he's already toast, it'll be a terrible deal.

If it waa a 35+ contract, itd be awful to make it long term.

 

[sansabri]

lol if this had been when he was on the Canucks it'd make sense

 

[stats1]

WTF is Treliving doing!!! f*** man 5 million!

 

[Sypher04]

Because Brad Treliving is an idiot that has a history of giving out terrible deals to Tanev type of players.

Yeah sorry you’ll have to do better than that. He knows our cap situation and Pridham does our management and a lot of our negotiations

 

[Rowlet]

The Leafs finally get their guy.... ten years later.

 

[winnipegger]

They are going to pay him until he's 40. Lol

 

[Rowlet]

They are going to pay him until he's 40. Lol

45, they'll buy him out after this year.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

horrible if the term is anything above 3 years

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

That's why we call UFA Day stupid season.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Treliving might be the only motherf*** worse than Dubas

Recency bias, but Bergevin would have given him 7

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

This might be the worst deal given this off-season.

 

[CupofOil]

If it's true that he's getting the long term 6-7 year deal $5M AAV is lunacy. You'd think that the long term would bring the AAV down to 4 or below.

 

[DFF]

Treliving got his new Hamonic

 

[34]

$5M WTF! That is crazy. That is more than he is making on his current contract. How the heck is he getting a raise at 34 yo.

He should be around $3M AAV.

 

[kevsh]

The Leafs window is short, so Treliving doesn't care about years 4, 5 or 6 (if it goes that long).

For guys like him, it's a sellers market. He's what the Leafs need and they weren't getting anyone else so give him term or he goes elsewhere to get it.

 

[stats1]

If it’s long term like it’s rumoured 6 years at 5 million for a 35 year old is insane

 

[Some Other Flame]

Treliving learned literally nothing from his many many mistakes in Calgary. You love to see it.

 

[Koivu11]

 

[Schennanigans]

What a f***en joke

 

[seanlinden]

If this is a 2 year deal, it's great.

If it's a 3 year deal, it's good to ok.

If it's a 4 year deal, it's maybe not the best, but tolerable.

Anything beyond that I suspect is soemthing they're going to regret.... and honestly, wouldn't make sense. If you're going to lock him up to a deal that takes him to 38-39, why not lock him up to 41 with some backdiving / LTIR years??

That being said assuming this comes to fruition... will be interesting to see what the Leafs do with the $8m in space remaining.

 

[Regal]

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