So now we know the Leafs pitch wasn’t “why should you come to Toronto” it was “why you should take a discount to come to Toronto”

The implications on MNM could be big cap savings - seeing JT come and take a cut like that.

TAVARES-MARNER IS GONNA HAPPEN!

7 x 11? Absolutely awesome.

We were talking about signing Matthews to a similar amount despite him being a RFA for most of the time... That is a fantastic deal for us.


Edit: Also barely over what Eichel got which included his RFA years... Fantastic.

Won’t win anything with the group of dmen the Leafs have. It’s an exciting signing but really after losing Bozak/JVR and not upgrading the defense... this signing is smoke and mirrors.
I know you’re trolling but who on Pitts or Washington is decidedly better than Rielly?

What a fun team this will be to watch :D

Excellent job by Shanny and Dubas to make this happen.

Now please Leaf fans, if we don't win a Cup next year or even for a few years after that please don't turn on JT and try to run him out of town. I know how this fanbase works sometimes. We now have a legit 7+ year window to contend and lots of chances to get it done. Patience is still needed especially since our D needs work still.

Now this was news worth losing ones mind over!

The whole time I wasn't sure what would happen. Sure he was out there as a pending UFA as the year went on but....we've been there before. But then the season ended, and time kept passing and he was still a pending UFA. And now....boom here we are. Dubas pulled it off! That is absolutely amazing.

The Leafs now have an insane forward group and a one/two punch down the middle that is hard to match. He's a Leaf!
