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

[Metroid]

But what’s that in Taney years?

34.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

You aren't good at math.

34+6=40

You have added on magic numbers

Late to the party...

 

[drktmplr12]

It never will be because it was signed at 34

Dude will be 35 and untradable for 5 years

Call it whatever makes you feel like it's a good deal

I'm sure eventually it will be a bad deal but I'm not worried about 2029

 

[Leaf Fans]

It's not a 35+ contract


Yet

His next contract if he signs one, will be though.

Dude will be 35 and untradable for 5 years

Call it whatever makes you feel like it's a good deal

He will have a NMC, that he can agree to wave.

That doesn't make it a 35+ contract though so, objectively you are still incorrect.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

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'.

Nah he’ll be retired or Ltir long before that . Hes going to help immensely till then

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?

Try 40 . You don’t math well do you …

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Another one late to the party...

 

[Enniskillen]

Another one late to the party...

Are you self proclaimed tardiness inspector or smth?

Are you self proclaimed tardiness inspector or smth?

I'm just reporting facts...

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Another one late to the party...

No party that I want to attend

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

No party that I want to attend

Then simply pay attention...

 

[Breakers]

Dallas made him a priority. Their GM said that after trading for him
But couldn’t make it work knowing the price

Never seen A cat just have such a profound effect on locker rooms.

Could be great for Toronto especially that softy Marner who is more interested in the offseason as soon as the playoffs start.

He's had so many injuries that it won't be a surprise if he's a LTIR candidate in a few years. There is nothing the league can do about this if he's legit hurt. This is not the same situation where someone is put on LTIR and then is back on the first playoff game. I think that is something the league is more likely to view poorly, in light of some recent ltir 'injuries'.

 

[Demon Wolf]

Always thought Tanev had a game that would not age well.

It is possible that he does.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I’ve always wanted Tanev. But not sure this one, with this amount of tread. But we shall see - looks like the same team all over again though.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Always thought Tanev had a game that would not age well.

I mean it has, he had one of his best seasons last year. He's already beaten the typical aging curve

Tanev has never had the type of injuries that would see him on LTIR.
What gets him injured is what also makes him good, he sacrifices his body without a second thought.
He provides zero offense, is a good puck mover but he keeps getting paid because of his warrior mentality, literally putting any part of his body in front of a shot.

His types of injuries are the worst for teams looking to LTIR because his injuries are usually the 4-6 week type so unless he gets injured before the TDL with less than 4-6 weeks left, teams can't even add a player.

He will play until he's at least 40.
The question is how long until his game drops off and he's a bottom pairing guy? My guess 2-3 years.

Oh my God the cope in here..arguing what to call a contract. Winning the semantics argument, congratulations.

TOR management gave a 34 year old injury prone middle D 6 years with a full NMC at full market rate.

It's a horrible move. I guess taking solace in the fact that "he can waive it if he wants" makes it less horrible.

Tanev agent deserves a bonus

There is not really any argument- it is not a +35 contract. Tanev has been pretty healthy the last couple of years. The fact that he can "waive if he wants" is just a fact. There is no solace to be taken. It is not a horrible contract at all.

you will be.... you will be......

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

you will be.... you will be......

Yes I will in 2029.

Not 2024

Some players play till they're 40; but those players are typically hall of fame level like Chris Pronger or Duncan Keith.

Then you have a 2nd pairing d-man like Tanev and everyone here knows there's a 0% chance he plays this contract out. It's purpose is for buy out in the remaining years.

But you can't buy him out if he's injured, n'est-ce pas ?
