Pretty solid deal. Much better than walking away or giving him away for nothing. Leafs need more RHD depth and Liljegren still is a solid option.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

I wonder if he still gets traded...

 

[JKG33]

That's a lot for a guy who should be on the bottom pair. Had to pay the RD premium

 

[Leaffan1991]

That seems like a lot of cap per year to me

 

[Commander Clueless]

Call me harsh but I don't like this. What has he done to earn that cap?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Oh my God. Is this a nightmare?

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Easy overpay. The guy still hasn't proven he should be a regular.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

If this is not a sign and trade then the Leafs are going to seriously regret this.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Easy overpay. The guy still hasn't proven he should be a regular.

To be fair he also hasn't been given a real chance to prove that. Give him some minutes and let's see

3M?

How? For being right handed probably

 

[On-the-Fly]

Now do Tanev.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Richer than I’d like for two years but I’m glad they’re keeping him.. there’s room for growth and I really want to see what he can do under Berube.

Folks were jealous of Florida’s ability to have so many good players on value contracts, like Verhaeghe, Bennett, Forsling, and Montour. They took some chances on guys who have had ups and downs in their development but have shown promise. I think Lily has more offense in his game.

 

[Leafidelity]

Nice work here. Money isnt too bad for a rising cap.

 

[BertCorbeau]

3M?

How? For being right handed probably

Sandin’s contract was probably one of the factors IMO

 

[MarMarSab3]

About 500k more then what I would have liked, he and Benoit on the 3rd pair for 4 million isn't horrendous, I think he still get moved though

guys half the D man Benoit is and gets twice the money......stupid stupid stupid.........

 

[LeafParade]

Is he Ufa at end of this deal?

 

[rumman]

Call me harsh but I don't like this. What has he done to earn that cap?

nothing.........

 

[PromisedLand]

YES!

Good on you Treliving. Thanks for not giving up on him. You got 2 years to see what you got in him. I am willing to bet Lily would thrive under Berube.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He’s also 25 and buying UFA time.

I wonder if Tre was try to go longer term for cheaper, hence the hold up

 

[AvroArrow]

Don't mind it

 

[TheGreatOne11]

This one stings when you look at the speculation of what Tanev is going to get....

I know their terms will be different, but Lily hasn't earned 3m, and yes RH premium but still.

Here's hoping this might be his year right? It's about now that D hit their prime, and if not hopefully he isn't a dumpster fire because you can always offload RH D.

UFA or not, a bottom pairing D-man this unreliable shouldn't be getting $3m

yeah, he'll magically turn into Stralman in 3....2....1......
