Confirmed with Link: Tavares to Toronto (7 years, $11M AAV)

[audiotunesx]

Hey guys - remember when we couldn’t find a top line centre for several years?

Let’s never take this for granted, ever

Totally agree, got to appreciate what we have. Entire teams were built around Sundin. When it came to his retirement, we learned pretty quickly first line centremen don't make it to UFA. We were so desperate, I remember in 2009 when Brian Burke tried literally everything to move up to get John Tavares.

I still can't believe it. I fear for my liver.

I'm so excited I fear for my tub of petroleum jelly

 

[IBeL34f]

Dubas is not done.

2 more hours until the presser? Could be right.

A Dynasty announcement would break the internet - Tavares, Matthews, Marner and Nylander announced for the next 7-9 years

Congratulations guys, you guys all deserve the turn around this franchise is experiencing right now after years of being a laughing stock. It’s now our turn to go through it.

If you guys can trade for Subban, I’d officially cross over.

Enjoy JT guys, genuinely happy for you guys.

Thanks. You guys shouldn't be a laughing stock for too long.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

So Dubas statue on legends row?

Beside Gramps and JT, yes

 

[The Masters]

Dubas, Shanny, Babs deserve all the credit.

The last two years they have changed the perception of the team (such a short span) and have now created a real powerhouse

Leafs will be fun to watch for the next decade. Corona's on ice boys

 

[TimPeel]

I am confident we can fix our D internally. We got Borgman and Rosen looking good, and I think Zaitsev will improve significantly this year. Our top four is as good as any in this league.

Anyone know what channel the presser at 4pm will be on?

There's a presser at 4? Exciting!

 

[MJ65]

So what counts to cap all or just the salary? That's a creative contract by pridham cap genius

All of it - it's a front loaded contract

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Let’s never take this for granted, ever

Why do I think that you’re talking about MTL?

 

[SR]

Congrats fellas, you guys are going to be absolutely deadly moving forward. Top offense in the league, imo.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Thanks. You guys shouldn't be a laughing stock for too long.

Go get P.K. and we can cheer them all on together!

[Mats13]

I love this so much

Also, anyone know when the press conference starts??

 

[Mikeyg]

overdrive on Tuesday is going to be a must listen. Hayes and O are going to go ape

 

[IBeL34f]

lmaooooo

Just drop $15 million in his lap right away.

Upcoming wedding? New house? No problem!

 

[thewave]

People don't understand why he left 2m / yr on the table. They also never understood what I was talking about days ago and why he was coming here. Scotia Bank did not just stop at 800 million for a 20 year naming right. JT is going to make really really good money here.

 

[ITM]

Yes.. thank god for Dubas. He is the reason JT grew up as a Leaf fan.

Answer: To read the desperately mocking lamentations of the anti-leafs hordes.

Question: What is best in life?

So what counts to cap all or just the salary? That's a creative contract by pridham cap genius

All. It’s not creative or genius. It’s just best case scenario for payout of a contract to a player given an AAV. You just pay it out in signing bonus.

Want to buy out? Nope, all signing bonus. Can not reduce the value of the contract.

pretty sure ODog is gone for the summer

You and @Discordia should be banned from here - nothing but negative comments and false proclamations the entire saga

Thanks! Coyotes have a some great young propsect. Hope you guys do well in the future!
