Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] D Chris Tanev signs extension with the Maple Leafs (6 years, $4.5M AAV)

[Oscar Lindberg]

Terrible deal

 

[That Habs Fan]

lolllllll

 

[wetcoast]

Lmfao. Lmao. Lmfao.

Summer of Brad 2.0.

No idea why you are laughing this is a very good signing for the Leafs.

 

[Smif]

Signing bonuses like all of their other guys. He gets a lump sum every July 1st, and 6 figures the rest of the year.

Ahh of course, I was hoping performance based. ty

 

[DJJones]

When is the last time he was hurt?

He has missed 20 games in the last 3 years combined.

He plays through injuries. He's a maniac but 6 years... wow

 

[34]

Edmonton wanted him. They wanted him bad.

 

[Jojalu]

But was injured for about 60 of them. Guy is a warrior

Fair point.

He blocks a tonne of shots and is most likely always suffering from some bumps and bruises

 

[Leafshater67]

They better not resign Marner

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Obviously he's not expected to be good for the duration of the contract. They gave him six years so he could get the money he wanted and they wouldn't have to pay more than an average of $5 mil per season.

He probably won't be playing by the sixth year.

Max. Three years I'd give. If you can afford it, I guess it's no problem.

 

[13pacheco31]

So have we officially lost the plot now?

 

[JAK]

Terrible deal

Great deal, for Tanev

 

[Jojalu]

He plays through injuries. He's a maniac but 6 years... wow

6 years is crazy, but he will either retire or be on LTIR well before that.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

He was excellent the first two rounds.

Guy plays through injuries all the time
Warrior yes, but not as effective

 

[frederixx]

I don’t think he plays all 6 years lol

2-3 then sails to Robidas island

Or Marleau's...

 

[TLEH]

Takes him to 40 lol

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Terrible player, even worse deal. Great news.

 

[TopG]

Have people not realized yet the leafs will find a way out of it when they need to. 6 years doesn’t actually mean they’ll have him 6 years lol. It’s more so just his financial security for the next 6 years

 

[HabsQC]

Damn what a good deal, exactly what Toronto needed....


is what I would've said 10 years ago

 

[tp71]

Gonna age like wine left open outside in summer weather.

 

[robertmac43]

This scares me... 6 years? with his injury history?

 

[Strangle]

Too many years and too much money

Fingers crossed the leafs can do some damage in the first 3 years of this deal

I really thought if the deal went past 4 years the AAV would be in the area of $2.5-$3.5

 

[WarriorofTime]

This is an "all in for next year" move if I've ever seen one. It's a fine cap hit for him next season, certainly wouldn't want to be holding the bag for him with 3 years/$4.5 million AAV per left when he's 38, but they likely hope they can LTIR him before then.

 

[DJJones]

6 years is crazy, but he will either retire or be on LTIR well before that.

Or he'll continue to add injuries and play hurt as he slows down from age and injuries

 

[bleuetbio]

They are realh set for winning now and rebuild right after

 

[rojac]

Does he have a no movement clause?

Full NMC throughout. I suspect most deals signed today in that range or higher will have full NMCs. But as usual, I could be wrong. I sswct he would have gotten a similar deal frm any of the teams that were interested n - that is, primarily teams that are looking to make a run in the next two or three years.
