Toronto can afford to give OEL a bad contract, since they will just stash him on LTIR with the rest of their bad contracts.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] D Oliver Ekman-Larsson signs with the Maple Leafs (4 years, $3.5M AAV)

OEL is still alright.
Loved him here in the role that he had for the money he made and wish he would have stayed.
That being said a big contract though could be disastrous.

I know we are cynical and delusional fans but this is just an insane comment for a factually balanced defense we haven't had in a long time. 3 hard nose defencemen willing to lay the body and 3 puck movers, 1 who literally won the cup and played his best hockey since his career year.
Lets relax a bit here.

You know you’ve hit it out of the park when fans and the talking heads are already talking about Robidas Island and buy out scenarios before the ink has even dried on all of the signings.

Treliving has broken the website his moves are so bad today. Leafs fans trying to defend it. As a Flames fan, I have been there, tough.

Toronto having a terrible offseason so far. How can any sane Leaf fan defend these signings? Just brutal contracts handed out to Tanev and OEL. Just WTF are they thinking over there in TOR?!

As a Flames fan, you may be unaware but….
All the Leafs have to do is get out of bed in the morning to shut down HFBoards.
That’s how popular they are
Nashville signs Stamkos, hfboards doesn’t even sweat
Leafs sign Matt Murray to league minimum WE NEED MORE SERVERS!

I knew Tre would be a disaster in Toronto. It was just a matter of time. Almost our entire roster is either injury prone, washed or have NMCs. It's ridiculous.

In the short term, this d-core does look like a better fit than the last 3-5 years
The most obvious thing is that it’s much better balanced between stay at home and puck movers.
But with all that cap sitting on the forward lines, Tre is forced to gamble a bit with the backend and go for it now.
Won’t look good at all in 3-5 years, so this team is on the clock.
Would have felt a lot better with a proven #1 conn Smyth’s goalie to make that push, but we don’t have that and hopes and dreams sit on Joe Woll’s shoulders
Team should be better this year and next, though.
We will see what happens when Tavares and Marner deals expire

Here we go again !
"We are spending too much money on the core"
"How do you want to fix it Brad? Shall we trade a player or two?"
"No, let's spend too much money on other players to even it out"

I'll probably need a much more in depth explanation on how every other state and province has all these loop holes that let them lower their tax rate to the Florida level, yet players in Florida can't use loop holes as well and lower their tax rate even further.

OEL looks washed to me. At least washed vs expectations. Needs sheltered minutes and he's fine...but can Leafs give him that?
Also, he just seems like the exact type of guy to completely checkout post Cup. Yes, this is HFboards and I'm basing this on nothing but my own gut feeling.
