Confirmed with Link: Philippe Myers Contract Extension || 2 years 850k AAV

[sittler rules!!!]

You don't want to leave everything last minute on July 1st.

If they like the guy for his current role as like an 8/9 D man, and he's willing to sign for the right price, there's no reason not to do it.

Agreed, Just housekeeping. And who knows, being around McCabe, Tanec and OEL may be of some benefit.

I don't think think i have ever seen this guy play in my life but good depth signing

Haven't watched a game in the last week or two?

Can’t complain about the contract, he’s fine in his current role.
Don’t need to do too much work on the D the next few years with most everyone signed up.
A RH guy to slot in the top 4 would be nice tho, and slot things a lil nicer.


If Topi wasn’t a big part of the Marlies backend, I’d suggest finding him a home since he won’t be finding one here. Same goes for WillyNeuve - maybe they get flipped for guys earlier along in their career at some point, but no rush since the Marlies are cooking.

 

[Warden of the North]

This is a completely fine contract for an extra/Marlies dman. It's also good insurance that he likely won't be claimed if we need to waive him. Leafs are flexing their financial muscle a bit here.

Hard to find anything wrong with this contract. Good signing

Craig Berube is thrilled about Philippe Myers’ 2-year extension with Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube was thrilled to see Philippe Myers will be sticking around for another two seasons.

The team announced Friday that they signed Myers to a two-year extension that carries an AAV of $850K. Despite not getting much playing time through the first two months of the season, Myers stuck it out and made the most of his chances, which has since sparked debates about the makeup of the defence pairings.

“I’m very happy for him. I thought in camp he earned a job, which is important for a guy like that coming in,” Berube said of Myers. “He played extremely well in training camp and here he’s got a two-year deal and he’s playing for us, and he’s playing well. He’s physical, he’s simple, on the penalty kill and he’s got great size and reach.”

Myers had been primarily skating with the extras to begin the season, but it became obvious how much the coaching staff and management were impressed with his abilities. Although Myers wasn’t getting into games, the team demonstrated their commitment and belief in him by doing everything they could to keep him away from waivers.

Myers was assigned on a conditioning loan to allow him additional playing time with the Toronto Marlies, in part due to the fear of losing him on the waiver wire for nothing. It was a good bet for the team to make in keeping him around because he has rewarded them with strong defensive play of late.

“I just love being around the boys,” Myers said on what he enjoys most about being a Leaf. “We got a good group, a really good team. We got a chance to make something happen this year and the goal is obviously the Stanley Cup. It’s just awesome, it’s amazing. It’s an Original-Six team and growing up, I watched them a lot on TV. It’s just really an honour to be here and to represent the team.”

Myers has picked up two assists through 11 games so far this season while also forming a strong partnership with Morgan Rielly. The duo have controlled nearly 60 percent of the expected goals at 5v5, which is the second highest among pairings with at least 100 minutes behind only Rielly-Chris Tanev.

I thought he had a great preseason as Berube says. I was a little surprised when he wasn't given a chance at the beginning of the season but you can see why he's valued by management. Great signing.
