Confirmed with Link: Rights to Chris Tanev for Max Ellis, 2026 7th rd selection

[Clark4Ever]

For what it's worth, his durability has been better the last few years than it was earlier his career.

 

[Al14]

Why is everyone talking like Tanev is a Leaf?

Has he signed the contract already?

Wake me up when there is actually a done deal. Til then, he is still just on our Leafs wish list !!!

Well, I like our 7th Rd picks that we chose today so I think people should stop saying we gave up nothing for Tanev's rights.

Let me know as soon as one 7th round pick makes the NHL and plays more than 400 NHL games. Very unlikely IMHO.

With our Luck, Dallas will hit a home run with the 7th round pick we sent them for Tanev's rights.

Good with it. Get it done

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

I'm no expert but if they spend to the cap, his cap hit plays no part (see Klingberg and Murray).

They used Klingberg and Murray's LTIR this year.

The Leafs were over the cap. So I guess that answers that question. They won't be able to accrue cap space to use towards deadline deals if they Robidas Island him.

But hopefully that's years away and not after the first two weeks like what happened with Klingberg.

Hoping Treliving can squeeze him for a hometown discount and get in like 3.75M instead.

 

[BM14]

Our fans are perceived the way they are, by the hockey world and amongst the sane, largely because of this.

Because they don’t like coddled, entitled brats that don’t play for the historic crest on the chest?

Gtfoh.

He’s signing with the Leafs. He has to meet with his agent and financial retirement advisor to sort out how they’ll invest this windfall they’re about to receive.

No he didn't unless he put out another one about 20 minutes ago, but the last one I listened to was about 19 minutes long, he mentioned a 6 year deal but no AAV

Most of the insiders saying the Leafs are gonna get it done.

Hoping Treliving can squeeze him for a hometown discount and get in like 3.75M instead.

I'll take a million under Brodie's AAV any day.

 

[Magic Man]

Tanev isn't going to be very good in a couple years. Are we hoping he knows when to call it a career?

It will be interesting to see the amount per year breakdown to see when he can retire without leaving lots of money on the table.

Oh please.

Uhm yeah you don't need to do that before you actually sign a deal.

If /when he signs we will all know. Agent is probably trying to squeeze the Leafs for some more $

Because we know he's signing, when You have Friedman, and Dreger saying it, It's happening and It's a HUGE piece, It's not enough but It's a damn good start.

 

[DarkKnight]

You’re old.

No recently too, you’re mistaken. 100 point teams are contenders.

How many examples do you need?

 

[Nineteen67]

No recently too, you’re mistaken.

You’re entitled to think that. Joe Bowen says the Leafs are contenders almost every year and has actually picked them to win it a couple of times.

was hoping to be around $3m but let's see

Yep I am. And I’m Gen X, don’t throw me out to pasture just yet lol.

His largest contract was 22.5 , do you think he’ll sign for much more than that?

 

[Dreakmur]

No recently too, you’re mistaken. 100 point teams are contenders.

With the loser points, the new ".500" is like 92 points. 100 isn't very good.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Some of ya’ll are on drugs who the hell is getting excited about a defenceman who will be 35 years old this year slotting him on the top pairing? Let alone giving him a 7 year contract extension? Ffs

People are now at the grasping for straws stage of fandom.

Agreed, he should be pretty solid for two years. Good for 60-65 games a year. Hopefully.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Right now, he's one of the best top 4 defenceman in the league. Past few years he's been pretty durable. Last 5 years he's played an average of 69.4 games a season. In comparison, Morgan Rielly has played an avg of 64.2 games. I don't hear much about how injury prone Rielly is. If we sign him, he'll be a great contributor for another 4 years. At that time, we'll deal with it.
