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

[Crazy Monkey]

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.

Others bad contracts doesn't make this one a good one.

I want Tanev. But we need to use cap space properly. If we sign Tanev at 5M, I hope he plays incredible and makes me eat my words

 

[Michoulicious]

5 millions per? WTF

 

[RunItBackAgain]

I hope he plays incredible and makes me eat my words

He will

 

[fahad203]

5 millions per? WTF

Better not be for more than 2 years
Dude come on. He's 34 and been injury prone most of his life

Come on Tre

 

[Crazy Monkey]

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

Then explore the trade market.

This mentality is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place with cap space. Desperation and/or overpaying guys who proved nothing.

He will

Good. That's what I want

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yea, 5 million dollars for another 1st round exit. Like I don't know, man. Offence has been more of a problem than anything else in the playoffs. They keep adding these kinds of guys on D every year, and so?

 

[Crazy Monkey]

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.

Then let him. Toronto has a lot to offer. If he wants to be here, then find a middle ground that makes sense

How can you generate offence when you can’t pass it back to the D? Basically trying to play 3v5 in the Ozone all the time. At least this guy can handle a pass and make a smart decision with it.

Lilly?

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Lilly?

Well played good sir

I think he's getting at least 3 years. Leafs need to win in the next 4 years while Matthews is still here.

That's a lot of money. If it's 5 milion for couple of years, I have no problem
Anything passed 2-3 years is now shooting yourself on the foot

With what? trades require assets, assets were short of

It's bloody easy to say walk away but you look like an idiot if you don't have an actual plan B, which you dont

Lilly?

He may have to yet, we're plowing through the money

 

[Magic Man]

Danford and Tanev are pretty similar. 6'2 shutdown RHD, who are considered amongst the best of their peers at defensive play and blocking shots.

Treliving knew exactly what he was looking for this summer.

But you guys keep deluding yourself thinking oh we are adding this guy on D, things will be different in the playoffs next year. We kept adding guys like that, him and Muzzin and like and it made 0 difference. It's amazing how you guys keep getting duped into thinking yea next year will be different.

With a new coach, I’m very optimistic.

 

[bax]

I saw that. And my response still is for the league to show us exactly what rule we’d be violating or f*** off

Agreed. How are they supposed to prove when a guy can’t play anymore?

Yeah yeah yeah

people like you aren't even worth talking to

Your so smart, the team sucks, your to cool to care, there never going to win, why even try? They can't dupe you

So full rebuild then dip ****?

We don't have trade assets?

Sometimes a good deal is the one you walk away from.

You're asking me to create a plan B trade plan without even knowing who is available out there. Pesce, Weegar, Trouba all come to mind as possible options

If it's Tanev at 5 M for 1-2 Years, fine then. I hope he plays wicked amazing and makes me f***ing eat crow

 

[BallardEra]

The $5M per isn't written in stone. Could be $4.5M per for all we know.

Deal obviously isn't done yet.

Pesce, New Jersey 6M+ more than likely
Weeger unavailable and 7M
Trouba 8M and sucks

Not as easy getting a top 4RD as you thought is it?

Come on Tre

He really hasn’t missed very many games in the past 3 years. Maybe he’s like a fine wine lol

Weeks is pathetic

 

[Gabriel426]
