Judge this deal on the fact that the guy will likely hang it up soon and the 4.5 will not count on the cap. He will really help us as long as he's healthy.

 

[Roo]

Another nmc, wonderful

Love the player but the aav is too high for that term. This is what happens when you have a boner for a player.

He will be good for us, but the question is how long

 

[Hellcat]

Culture changing signing ...... again ....

 

[sxvnert]

Dont care about the term, dont mind the AAV. Good signing.

 

[Tony Romo]

Rielly - Tanev is the best d pairing we've had in... a decade plus?

That's how I'm looking at it, because anything else will make me annoyed.

 

[mcleex]

Tell me how to feel, I am on the fence

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Get rid of Brodie and we just upgraded him for a cost of -500,000 and a 7th.

Nicely done.

 

[Jozay]

The leafs always have to give everything, never get a discount. 6 years, 80% signing bonus, and a full NMC the whole way through and still couldn’t get him lower

Glad to have him, but who the f*** is negotiating these contracts

 

[Mickey Marner]

Drop Treliving into a volcano please and thanks

 

[Jojalu]

I have always liked Tanev.

I am not too terribly concerned with the length as he will either retire or be bought out if he declines.

Easily the best defensive guy they have had in years

 

[Balthazar]

Buyout proof contract loaded with bonuses

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hahaha the AAV is ok but the term is Leafy

 

[hamzarocks]

Shit deal for shit player for the role hes going to play. He isnt a #1RD and cant play 23-24 minutes a year against top competition.

Predict we buy this one out after 3 years. This is a horrific committment that wasnt needed

 

[TheShape]

Love Chris Tanev the player, will compliment Rielly extremely well. But how does the guy possibly fetch a bigger contract at 34-35 than he did at 30?

Doubtful he plays out the contract but this is a very big risk, we said the same about Marleau.

 

[aingefan]

Average nhl salary.
Stay healthy.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Absolutely on LTIR for year 5 and 6. Possibly sooner

 

[capfit9]

good player, incredibly stupid contract

 

[Commander Clueless]

Love Tanev. Good cap hit.

This contract is really going to hurt when they rework LTIR in the next CBA....

 

[TMLegend]

Full NMC is gross.

Apparently everyone gets one on this team.

 

[Gallagbi]

Meh

 

[leafs in five]

man I dunno

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Can’t wait for him to unexpectedly fall off in a year or two and we will have to buy him out

The bar to beat dubas is six feet under, and treliving is somehow in hell

 

[Leaf Rocket]

just ok.

 

[Jojalu]

Shit deal for shit player

Predict we buy this one out

Shit player is just not factual.
