Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Matt Martin (4 years, $2.5M AAV)

[A1LeafNation]

Oh **** right off..

 

[Spawn]

Terrible deal for a player who is strictly a 4th liner.

 

[Carl Carlson]

4 years and a little higher $ value than I thought but that's free agent day for you.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I like it for Toronto honestly. I'd trade Dorsett for him

 

[The Podium]

Finger, Clarkson and now Matt Martin. So crazy how all the big name UFAs always choose Toronto.

How is Martin anywhere close to the other 2?

Not a bad deal, probably 500k overpaid but with the crazy money going out today this isn't the worst that could've happened.

 

[Swervin81]

For ****s sakes. Giving term and over $2M for a 4th liner. I guess he has decent shot suppression numbers and can hit, but that's literally it.

Losing a lot of faith right now given the Russell rumors on top of this, but if this is our only mistake, it's something I can live with..

 

[thepuckmonster]

Did Lou Lam lock Dubas in the basement of ACC? First they're rumoured to be offering ridiculous money to Russell and then this?

 

[Syckle78]

Finger, Clarkson and now Matt Martin. So crazy how all the big name UFAs always choose Toronto.

Hahahaha

 

[Muston Atthews]

Lmao how are people upset at 2.5 mill?! I don't understand.

 

[member 147413]

Gross, but it's not much of a hindering contract.

 

[nabob]

Hope that's it for the Leafs. Don't mind that at all. Would prefer 2-3 years but easily movable if he's still decent by the end.

So are you implying that he's decent now?

 

[Sonofamitch]

Why give term and AAV to a 4th liner

 

[The Nightman]

... Has never hit 20 points

 

[Devils090]

Not as bad as the Clarkson deal but that's too much term and money for a 4th liner. Like Martin's game a lot but you're paying too much for a guy that just hits people.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Why.

 

[ShatteredGlass]

IF he plays how he did last season, this isn't a bad deal. I still wouldn't like a 4th liner for 4 years, or for 2.5 mil a season

 

[The Drop]

Hahahahha same old Leafs.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I think this is great for the Leafs. Martin is exactly the type of player they need with those young kids and the money isn't TERRIBLE.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Lmao how are people upset at 2.5 mill?! I don't understand.

He's never scored more than 20 points and brings nothing more than hits?

 

[cyris]

Dont like paying that kind of money for a 4th liner but at least this isnt something that will be crippling down the road.

Now please Lou stay the hell away from Russel.

 

[BonMorrison]

Turrible.

 

[SprDaVE]

Don't like it at all.

 

[dubey]

Lmao how are people upset at 2.5 mill?! I don't understand.

lol

Got to whine about something

$6MM FOR CROZBY F U LU

 

[Savvy]

Basically the max I'd be willing to give Martin so it's not great but he really fills a need for the team and it doesn't seem like the contract can really hurt us in the long run so I'm pretty happy with it.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Dislike this. Martin is a good enough player for what he brings, but 2+m on the 4th line... Guh.
