He's already 27? He hits like crazy. Probably going to be beat and run down at the end of next year.

I have no idea why people would be mad over the term when he is only 27 and very effective in his role. Most players getting signed right now are 30 or older and getting signed for longer deals. Effective 4th line guys are still important on good teams plus he adds a solid veteran to a really young team. Plus everyone saying it will handcuff the leafs cap down the road needs to give their head a shake. Michalek, laich, bernier, greening, robidas all come off the books after this season they will have more then enough cap space going forward.
Good manAnd that 2.5 is going to stop the Leafs from winning the cup the next four years?
Explain to me how this hinders the leafs?

Mr. Woodhull...
People sound clueless about Martin in this thread. He can play hockey. He isn't in the Colton Orr or even Derek Dorsett tier. He's good. I also think he leads the league in hits most years, or close to it. He's tough as nails, absolutely brings it, great team guy, can fight and will happily do so to stand up for his teammates or send a message. He's a good hockey player though. He's a little overpaid but it's July 1 and everyone was expecting him to get overpaid. If this was a 3 year deal it would be perfect. It's still pretty damn good.
I say all of this as a Rangers fan. This is my impression of seeing plenty of Martin on the Islanders and being a fan of their biggest rival.

Business in the front, party in the back.
Kyle Dubas' first mistake in evaluation. A poor signing that will hopefully crush the Leafs down the line. Excellent, most excellent...

Lots of people on here just proving how they lack so much IQ.... Martin is bodyguard for our youth!!! He can also play a very good 4th line role who can hit and play good defence! He is also a very good locker room! but of course some of u here don't know jack **** but just like to talk nonsense...

First season was great for sure, after that in the 2nd year he was injured for like 30 games and had a very rough year. The 3rd year he was just awful and done, a shadow of his former self, sad to see because habs nation loved him.

Except, that's not the case. It's more you paid 250 for something you didn't have to buy, but your "analogy" is quite flawed as it is.
We have plenty of cap space we won't be needing for a while. It doesn't matter that we overpaid.

If you think 2.5 is crippling...
