Confirmed with Link: Leafs re-sign Justin Holl -- 3 years 2M AAV

[DanM]

no one can complain about this

Agreed

But the main board will.

This is the way lol

 

[willmma]

good deal for both sides.

he’s far from set for life. He will be lucky to take home half of that. And spent over 50-60yrs. He would have to be rather conservative and have a very good roi

If he nets $4M, he can invest the in a 5% GIC, he'll make about $200K a year, for life. Pretty sweet.

 

[Bluelines]

2 million

If he continues to play as a good 3-4 guy, that is a steal of a deal.

Good for him, turned a year of the press-box into $6 mil

 

[selltrade]

Agreed

But the main board will.

This is the way lol

true lol

This article indicates the savings after all expenses is about 24% of their original contract.

How much does an NHL player take home on a $1 million salary? Not as much you think - TheHockeyNews

 

[Havoc]

happy Hollidays indeed

 

[TheKule]

I approve!

 

[Leafidelity]

Well now that there is a nice little contract

 

[34]

Awesome! He is worth more than a $2M AAV. Great signing Dubas.

 

[Jozay]

Nice deal. If he keeps playing like the way he's been playing this season, its a steal. If he regresses, the cap hit is still reasonable for a bottom pair dman.

 

[sxvnert]

Good dollar amount. That third year probably bumped the aav from 1.25-1.5 to 2.0.

 

[4thline]

Good deal. Rewards and shows faith in the guy, while leaving the big carrot of a UFA deal at 31 as motivator.

 

[TheKule]

I think we were all hoping for this the instant after Holl angled off McDavid on a partial break.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If he keeps up his play from this year (2nd pairing defender) then this contract will be really good.

His lack of track record is a little worrying but overall I like kt

Yes, set for life.

A good, honest, financial advisor and he's fine.

I'd speculate his degree in finance probably puts him in pretty good shape to understand money.

And getting $150k a year on top of whatever he makes when he retires is going to be an easy ride.

Only problem would be if he lives like he's a millionaire after he retires. For someone who took the long road I'm betting he's smarter than that.

 

[al secord]

True meritocracy.

 

[34]

Agreed

But the main board will.

This is the way lol

The main board is mostly Leaf haters who would say McDavid is a 4th line C if he was a Leaf. Lol

This Holl contract is a slam dunk.

 

[Teeder Keon]

I wish it was for 1.567.433.33.11
But I’m happy with it
Sorry I couldn’t stop myself
I just found it funny that some were happy but wished it was this or that ..
Like if we are privy or experienced or knowledgeable in the business
Sorry I always find those comments funny

Our top shutdown RHD signed for 2 million through 3 years!?

That's fantastic. I don't understand why people are calling him a bottom-pairing D? He's played on the top shutdown unit with Muzzin, while Rielly-Barrie have been on the 2nd pairing eating all the other minutes (that's why they have more TOI usually). His underlying numbers have been fantastic for his usage too, leading the D in possession since Keefe tookover.

Next year, assuming we sign Muzzin for 6M x 3 yrs and Dermott for 3M x 2 years:

Muzzin (6M) - Holl (2M)
Rielly (5M) - Dermott* (3M)
Sandin (1M) - Lilijegren (1M)

What??? Another ridiculous Dubas overpayment!
Dubas is a kid who gets take to the cleaners on every contract.
Holl is worth $1.9M at most and this overpayment will kill the Leafs for years to come.

Thanks Dumb-as

Purified in the waters of Lake Minnetonka

 

[Sniper99]

This deal doesnt start today... so status quo with regards to the cap.

was poking fun at Waffles who we all know has a lot to say in regards to contracts. Cheers!

 

[The Iceman]

Any expansion draft implications?
Wonder if JH might be exposed and of interest to Seattle?

The article lacks consistency though, talking about Canadian taxes and Chicago and NY rents.
And 24% is after all expenses on a $1mm contract, and some of those amounts quoted are higher than necessary.
You don't double your expense because you double your contract, fixed costs are fixed costs, not based on how much you make.
