I'll guess 4 years. Either way, no one here will care about the contract after the first game they watch him play.
Confirmed with Link: [TOR/DAL] Leafs acquire rights to Chris Tanev for Max Ellis, 2026 7th rd selection
- Thread starter uncleben
- Start date
Don't sign him if it's 5 AAV. I mean I want Tanev. But this gravy train needs to stop in Toronto and it needs to start now

You need to spend money to get good players and we need another solid defenseman if we have any shot at a Cup

Yep
It just promotes the same cycle over and over again. We need guys that want to be here and taking a small paycut to do so. Otherwise move on.
We need to foster passion not entitlement

Have you watched him play? He easily has two or three good years in him. Whatever happens after that is irrelevant.
Athletes are the same everywhere. They are all trying to get as much money as they can, as they should.
Domi literally just signed a team friendly contract today. There's a difference between getting a good pay day and taking your team to the cleaners

Tanev is signing his last contract. Of course he is going to try to get as much as he can while he has leverage. It's fantasy-land stuff to think otherwise. Why on Earth does Chris Tanev owe the Leafs anything?
5 mill aav, coming with term too?
This team gets rinsed in every negotiation it’s actually crazy
It’s fair, definitely not team friendly

Domis deal isn’t team friendly at all

5x2 would be fine but if this more than 3 years it needs to be lower.
Then move on. I like Tanev. Hes a Toronto boy. But we live in a salary cap era. And we need smart contracts, not desperate ones

He’s almost certainly in the top 10% of cap hits vs production if you consider only UFA deals. He can play anywhere from line 1 wing to line 3 centre. He’s a fantastic asset for that price.

I agree. We get rinsed way too often
If Domi plays like he did in the second half of the year when Marner was injured, then this will be a really good deal for the Leafs imo
Tanev was the story of the series that included Mackinnon, Rantanen, Makar, Robertson, and Heiskanen after shutting down Colorado’s top line.
He is an UFA with pretty much every team interested. Obviously you’d love to sign him for a lower AAV, but 5m is reasonable with an increasing cap.

He's from Toronto. If he wants to play here, then it's his team. So it's either a team friendly contract or move on. 5 M AAV is insane.
Can't believe people are arguing about paying him this much. Short memories...
How is it insane? Durzi just got 6m per. Bertuzzi is rumoured to sign elsewhere for 5m per. Zadorov is rumoured to be signing for around 6m per on a long term deal.
Move on to what exactly?
We need a top 4RD, how much do you think Montour, Roy etc are going to get
So instead of complaining I want you to tell me who this top 4RD that's going to make less than 5M is
Its not your fault

Leafs are the ones under pressure because they are pursuing him. Tanev doesn't have to do anything. He can get a good gig somewhere else.
