Confirmed Trade: [TOR/DAL] Chris Tanev for Max Ellis, 2026 7th round pick

[HockeyVirus]

How much has that “mastery” gotten the Leafs in… the past century? Cope harder.

And there it is. Leaf hater as I thought. Next.

Yesterday - capable D man
Today - He's a bum, leaf's are a joke.

This site never lets me down

Leafs Derangement Syndrome is alive and well around here....

 

[Nothingbutglass]

The Leafs have proven to be masters of this. You are acting like Tanev isn't aware of how this works. He gives us as many years as he can and when he is no longer an NHLer, he vanishes like every other vet the Leafs have done this with over the last decade.

Acting like this is some terrible decision, you have to be purposefully trying to frame it that way.

Mastery of stupid contracts and playoff failure? Congrats!

 

[Schennanigans]

We should only be look at 3-4 years max. Why anyone would sign a 35 year old more than that I dunno.

 

[The Nuge]

5-7 years is insanity. 3 years at like 5.0 makes sense though

 

[Leafidelity]

At least they'll never play Edmonton in the playoffs.

If the Oilers can fluke their way to the finals anything is possible

 

[TimeZone]

alright, lets see how does in Toronto! and how quickly fans turn on him, its a good thing they have an island for players like him.

I don't know how he's going to do in the near future, neither do you.

The issue is you attempting to portray this guy as already "falling off a cliff" as of this moment is completely and totally unfounded, downright absurd.

The man ate some of the toughest minutes in the entire league against Jack Eichel and the leagues MVP in the playoffs and was on the ice for ONE 5 on 5 goal against.

Now they can give him that 8th year

They actually can't, Dallas was the only team that could offer him 8 years

The first 3-4 years are all that will matter. The rest will have a 24 hour beer tap on the beach

 

[Nothingbutglass]

$4 x 8. do it Leafs

Why though, if you can keep the AAV lower? It's not a +35 contract, so it is easier to deal with at the backend of it.

Why would that matter? Who the f*** would give a broken down 34 yrs old 8 years

Anything more than 4 is stupid but it’s Treliving….

8 years x 3.5 is better for both parties. An extra 10 million for tanev and cheap cap hit for Toronto that they LTIR after 4 years

 

[LOFIN]

Because you can keep the AAV down, and just buy out the rest of the deal when there isn't much left and cap is up to a gazillion anyway. Or he retires, or he goes to LTIR.

This used to be much more common before the NHL capped contracts to 8 years.

 

[Albz]

Lol tanev went from a solid shut down guy to, to old and crappy in 20mins lol

 

[koyvoo]

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

Unless he brings magic spine growing powder for Matthews and Marner, none of the moves will ever matter.

5-7 years is insanity. 3 years at like 5.0 makes sense though

It actually makes significantly more sense for Toronto, he can be buried LTIR when his play falls off a cliff.

 

[joepeps]

exactly. 15 mil over 3 years or 20 mil over 6 year more front loaded and bonus driven and hes LTIRed if hes not goof in year 5 and 6

 

[Nothingbutglass]

hahahaha. Cant wait for the season ending injury in game 9

That Marian Hossa contract is legendary

Good lord some of you people are just plain trash human beings.

 

[Jozay]

Toronto out pricing Dallas, yeah this is about to be a Treliving Special

 

[canadianmagpie]

I'm hoping he doesn't even sign with the Leafs because I want him on the Canucks. If the Leafs pay a minor pick for him, that would make it even better.

 

[Bust]

Weird thing to actually admit and post.
