Does this count towards the 50 man limit?

I don't believe so.
I don't believe slide contracts count.

 

[pdson]

Who cares, just another prospect that will end up being overpaid!

Ridiculous comment. If this is truly how you feel why are you even here.

Of course to be overpaid, he'd have to be worthy of a second contract.

Often wonder if circumstance determines early signings?
Leafs aren't the only ones, who do.
Signing bonus for family hardship?

 

[Mickey Marner]

Nice to have a centre prospect in the system. Hope he develops well.

Does this count towards the 50 man limit?

We couldn’t have signed him if it did. It’s a slide contract so it won’t count on the 50 contract limit until he ages out of Jr. or makes the team.

 

[Its not your fault]

Who cares, just another prospect that will end up being overpaid!

How do you find him to be over paid?

 

[LeafSteel]

Does this count towards the 50 man limit?

It does not count.

from the article

"Minten, 18, recorded 55 points (20 goals, 35 assists) through 67 games with the Kamloops Blazers (WHL) during the 2021-22 season. Minten helped Kamloops to the Western Conference Finals in the 2022 WHL Playoffs where he collected 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) in 17 games. The Vancouver, BC native has posted 73 points (24 goals, 49 assists) through 87 career WHL games."

I have been a Leafs fan for over 60 years. I have been a faithful fan for a very long time despite the lack of a championship caliber team since 1967.

After last night's game, and the continued 1st round exists, I'm not a happy Leafs camper. The continued incompetence of the management and coaching staff is getting to me.

Dubas has overpaid for a core that is NOT getting the job done! It's the same crap over and over! There was NO viable EXCUSE for our Leafs to lose a game to a hated rival with 4 rookie d-men in their lineup!!!

Yes, my statement is ridiculous, however so was our overpaid Leafs losing to a the Habs team expected to compete for a lottery spot for Connor Bedard!!!!

Last night's game is what did it? Ouuuufffff

I swear some people just don't know hockey, this is not a sport where the team that is supposed to win always wins.

It is embarrassing that after 60 years you have not figured it out yet.

It sounds like you need a break from hockey, who gets this upset at a sport?

 

[Menzinger]

Good. Hes not ready yet, but looks more mature than I expected.

dog it's 1 game

 

[Commander Clueless]

Yeah, really gotta pace yourself. Can't use up all your disappointment in one game.

 

[tmlms13]

for a second I thought that said Leafs sign Frazer McLaren

 

[LeafEgo]

Who cares, just another prospect that will end up being overpaid!

Well that escalated quickly

This man should be extra thankful for anonymity on the internet.

 

[Stephen]

I was surprised to see Minten at the opening ceremonies and player introductions, but they often like to spotlight young guys.

 

[Al14]

dog it's 1 game

Yeah, one game against a hated rival that is supposed to be re-building and expected to be a lottery pick contestant for Connor Bedard.

Sure, any team can beat any other team on any given night, however, if our Leafs want home ice advantage for the playoffs, frittering away points to bottom feeders is unacceptable. They did this consistently last season and now it starts again this season!

Are we also going to see another 1st round exit, if they even make the playoffs this season?

I was too. Does the organization feel strongly about him? Like a first call up prospect? Perhaps they have high hopes for him in 2 years.

they had losing records against buffalo and arizona last year and they still had home ice advantage

Those were all the currently injured players on LTIR and SOIR (Season Opening injured reserve).

Jordie Benn, Timothy Liljegren, Rodion Amirov, Carl Dahlström, etc.

As well as the newly signed Minten who was also injured during camp, and must be rehabbing in TO.
