Now they can give him that 8th year

 

[Michoulicious]

Poor Leafs.

 

[TheBeard]

I'm a little surprised there weren't more "late pick for negotiation rights" trades.

 

[HockeyVirus]

IDK how many good years he has left but he is what we need

 

[Malkinstheman]

I cant wait to see the contract he gets

 

[Dion TheFluff]

well... I guess we're signing Tanev

This would have been a great get for Toronto 5 years ago.

 

[EXTRAS]

8 Years x 7m

 

[leafsfan5]

Nice, sign him longterm and drive the AAV down to get another defenseman on Monday

He can enjoy LTIR in the near future

 

[12ozPapa]

Lol. I love Toronto.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Not max Ellis!!

Wow! 8 years? That would be crazy.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Now they can give him that 8th year

This unironically

Signing 34 year olds to crazy long deals is the new hotness in cap circumvention

 

[leafsfan5]

Wow! 8 years? That would be crazy.

There will very likely be an unwritten agreement between the player and Toronto to hang it up and enjoy LTIR

Leafs using the cap system to their advantage

 

[McShogun99]

Tanev is a warrior but those miles are catching up to him.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Congrats to Toronto on adding a soon to be 35 year old defensemen!

 

[Schennanigans]

Why trade for his rights if they already have a deal in place. If you lose out on him you still have a lot of other options.

 

[AvatarAang]

Tanev went from being an amazing playoff D on Dallas to being absolutely worthless in Toronto.

Gotta love the leaf haters!

 

[Tact]

Toronto can’t sign for 8 years - he would had to play for them since the deadline.

Only way to get 8 years if it was a sign and trade with Dallas

 

[HockeyVirus]

Lol. I love Toronto.

3 months ago he was the most sought after Dman at the TDL and now you are laughing?

 

[innitfam]

Now they can give him that 8th year

I thought the signing team had to have the player's rights prior to the previous TDL to offer 8 years

 

[JAK]

Strange that a deal wasn't announced at the same time, what if there isn't a deal ....

Tre: brodie replaced by tanev worked so well the first time, lets do it again....5 yrs later
