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

[Leaf Fans]

Great post but I just came on to say they have his daily cap hit at $23077 man he makes more in a week than 99.9% of people here in a year.

Is he the only one?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I bet you that the Leafs will put him on LTIR and then when the playoffs start he will be activated on the Golden Knight's roster.

Where is ‘here’ that almost everyone makes under $23k?

I love that Chris Tanev has been making 4.45 or 4.5 million since 2015. And now is going to do the same for another 6 years. That's a man that knows his worth.

Good luck Toronto sending him off to Robidas Island in the later years. This guy would play even if his face was falling off. Nothing but respect for the dude because he routinely blocks shots with his face but the Leafs needed a guy like him 3 years ago. If him and Rielly can get on the same page this could definitely work out in the short term tho.

23,077 times 7 is 161,539.

Real good one.

$23K a day is $161K a week.

Re read what I said Tanev makes more in a week than 99.9% of us make in a year.

That's $161000 per week to whatever people make in a year and American dollars.
I'm not begrudging him or any player but it really does stand out.

2 seasons

I think we get 3 seasons out of him.

I think we get 3 seasons out of him.

That might be 'optimistic'.......with the frightening run of injuries this guy has had, when the bottom drops out of the bag, it will happen quickly.

Tanev has had a stellar NHL career for a guy who was never drafted, and has made every blueline he's ever played on that much better. But he'll be a serious 'buy-out' candidate in two seasons. And the Lafs will still be paying Tanev when his hits his 40th birthday.

But when you're as desperate for quality d-men as the Leafs, are, I guess 'desperate times' call for 'desperate measures'.

So glad Treliving isn't the GM of the Flames now.

I bet you loved Tanev when he was a Flame

$23K a day is $161K a week.

Still pretty hyperbolic tbh, more than 0.1% people here definitely clear that in a year

 

[BLONG7]

6 year deal, takes him to what, 44 yrs old??

Of course the league is looking at this.............what are the rules about signing a contract after the age of 35?

He's 34.

 

[BLONG7]

He's 34.

My bad.............thought he was 38

Changes things for sure....

Thx

That $161K is US. Meaning it's $200K CAN a week.

 

[TheDoldrums]

okay? That is nothing extravagant in places like Toronto or Vancouver, I'm pretty sure more than 0.1% here make that in a year.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

He's 34.

But what’s that in Tanev years?

You aren't good at math.

34+6=40

You have added on magic numbers

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

It's gonna be so shit seeing Tanev be awesome for Toronto. And this after Calgary. Let me guess, he somehow ends up playing for Edmonton and Carolina too. What a crap. A complete crap.

 

[HuGort]

Leafs get the guy they wanted last season

 

[Khrox]

I know I did, but we're also looking at "4 years for a 30 year old d-man with injury history" vs "6 years for a 34 year old d-man with injury history". 4 years for a 30 year old, even with injury history is a risk you can take. 6 years for that same guy, 4 years later though? Not a lot of players even play to 40, let alone injury prone players with a high physical toll on their body. Lets put it this way, last season there were 0 players who were 40 years old. Only 23 players over the age of 35 played last year. That's 5 of those 6 years on an injury prone, highly physical d-man.

You should have scrolled a couple down..................
My math and your reading........we wont win a prize for either category.
I thought I read he was 38............my bad.

Why would the league be looking in to this deal?

 

[drktmplr12]

It's not a 35+ contract

It never will be because it was signed at 34
