Confirmed with Link: [TOR/DAL] Leafs acquire rights to Chris Tanev for Max Ellis, 2026 7th rd selection

[Discoverer]

Short term contract offer at most please. Leafs will overpay as they are desperate for dmen. He's old at 34 and banged up missing about 20-25 games every year.

But something like 2 yrs @ $4M/yr max is worth an offer.

I know that's how a lot of his career was, but Tanev hasn't missed 25 games in the last three years combined.

Actually insane how the mainboard thread about this just got straight up locked

6x4….would he get 24 on the open market?
That sounds kinda rich I think.

 

[MK78]

i just hope its not more tha 3-4 years... just look what happened to Giordano.

Do 6x4 with the money front loaded - then he goes to Robidas island years 5 & 6.

Basically a 4x4 for cap purposes but we use our financial resources to sweeten the pot.

So many unhinged folks over there incapable of having a rational discussion, and multiple trolls whose entire existence on this website is to obsess over everything Toronto does out of spite. I almost never venture outside of this board anymore, it's just not worth it.

That’s still not good.. Myers got $3 x 3

Um you do realize Tanev is like miles better then Myers right?

Yeah, I’m sure that’s accepted, but the reported 6x4 is 267% of that total.
Seems a bit much. If the term is meant to bring the AAV down, I don’t see 6x4 doing that.

how about we wait until we know what the numbers actually turn out to be before bitching about said numbers.............

Right, either LTIR or retire.
I wonder how you do it so he gets the 3-4 year total over those six years.

Are you done yet?

 

[TimeZone]

Yep, should have acquired Tanev during his prime injury years !!!

Surely those injury concerns will now suddenly disappear as the player begins closing in on middle age.

Good lord some of these posts are exhausting...if you wouldn't have wanted Tanev on your team during the playoffs this season, you weren't paying attention.

 

[MarMarSab3]

4.5 X 5 years
1st year 7 million
2nd year 7 million
3rd year 4.5 million
4th year 2 million
5th year 2 million

Myers is also bad at hockey, Tanev is very good.

You also do realize that even at 34-35 years old he is still one of the best defenseman in the league right? And pretty much every single team wanted him... Even at $4M for Tanev is cheap.

Dude has undervalued himself for his whole career, he should of been making $7M-$8M for the past decade instead of $4M-$5M. In what world does Rielly etc. get $7.5M+ but Tanev get's $4M-$5M.... that's crazy.

The Leafs can also trade the last year or two of his deal plus a 3rd for a 6th (or whatever).

 

[rumman]

1. No one’s bitching. I said the reported term aav doesn’t make sense.
2. I have no use for your childish internet bravado.
Good luck to you and your ellipses.

and Domi was signing for 6mil, keep drinking the Kool Ade my friend.........

 

[egd27]

can only sign 7 years as he had to have been on our roster at the deadline

Ok thx

Didn’t realize the deadline rule. What was all the fuss about Hyman and Edmonton a couple of years ago?

Yup, I get what he brings, how desirable he is on the market.

It was instantly a giant troll fest. So many people on the main boards obsess over us and can't stop talking about the Leafs then cry about all the attention the team gets. It's insane. Crazy to me that the Tanev thread had more posts in it than the Sergachev one within like 30 minutes, and the Sergachev trade was much more significant.

 

[joepeps]

I think they changed to rules over the past 2 years.

So we gonna sign this guy or did we give up assets for nothing?

Not gonna lie it would be par for the course for this franchise if they can't lock up Tanev and then Tre gets left with nothing holding his dick in his hand after proclaiming we 'had a lot of work to do' this summer.

 

[socko]

The league should put a stop to these trades of guys who have no term left just to stop these teams from embarrassing themselves.
