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

[TMLAM34]

I’d be fine with 4 million per x 6 years. Ideally we can get him with a little lower cap hit with the kind of term though.

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

Going into the playoffs I’ve never heard a panel pick the Leafs to win a Cup despite the 100 points. They tend to point out the four or five reason why they won’t win.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

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

That never happened on the podcast, he said 6 years but no AAV is mentioned.

Supposedly there is an article where he says 6X4 but I haven't seen it yet.

Top third of the league. It’s good. I said contender too not favourites.

32 Thoughts: Post-draft buzz with free agency up next

4. My guess on Chris Tanev and Toronto is six years at around $4M per season.

I guess if they gave him a 7th year that should get it down to around 3.5

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I would love it if Tanev was some amazing freak of nature where his 6th year is just as good as his first with Toronto.

 

[Duffman955]

Can we give him 8 years at like 3.5 mil?

 

[keonsbitterness]

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 !!!

He's a Leaf right now until 23-24 contracts expire.

 

[OVO16]

Need him to come under 4M too. 3.75 would be great

 

[Albz]

Can't do 8 years. Only 7

 

[thewave]

We didn't sign him yet?

no

The guy has not been on the ice for a goal against since he became a Leaf.

 

[Burnie97]

All good for other teams like Tampa and Vegas who already have an advantage to f*** around.

Meanwhile Leafs carry tadpole teams in the league so they don't fold.

 

[Nylander88]

Finally the partner that Rielly desperately needs. Hope its a good deal that gets worked out for both sides.

Rielly-Tanev
McCabe-
Benoit-

Need another solid FA add back there. Timmins is more of a #7 and Liljegren may end up moved for all we know, as he doesn't seem to have that edge that Treliving likes. Would like Edmundson or Lyubushkin back at the right price.

 

[Kiwi]

I thought he might have signed by now

Is he going to wait until free agency or sign beforehand?

 

[647Hockey]

Short term contract offer at most please. Leafs will overpay as they are desperate for dmen. He's old at 34 and banged up missing about 20-25 games every year.

But something like 2 yrs @ $4M/yr max is worth an offer.

 

[rumman]

That would be silly.

If they arent keeping him, then they have to get something for him.

I hope they move on and get something for him as he walks out the door............

 

[egd27]

no

why not?

I'm surprised the PK is low

They clearly won't get him for that.

 

[joepeps]

why not?

can only sign 7 years as he had to have been on our roster at the deadline

While Auston is still in his prime here in Toronto… we are in a win now period.

Tanev makes us a better team right now.
