The Toronto Maple Leafs Have Traded For Chris Tanev & Are Signing Him For How Many Years??

[@keepups1586]

I'm glad the leafs content is coming back more now. I missed the leafs analysis

[@michaelagostino3483]

They have to. Tampa and Nashville were in the mix and with both states having no state taxes, the 6 years (money wise) balances out the contract compared to those other two cities.

[@derekpaddon9553]

So more and more the Leafs are having to add years ontocontracts because of the horrible tax rate here in canada. its like 54%. Where as if you go sign in like Dallas , Nashville, Tampa, florida. that tax is wayyyyyy down. allowing themtogive him less years with the same dollar amount to get to the same net overall money total.

Change your tax laws

@@erikmartin4996 have to remove trudeau first.

[@__________f9433]

At least some Canadians are acknowledging it. We pretend it ignore the reason why Canadian teams don’t win Stanley cups anymore is solely because of income tax rates.

[@richardfewer9348]

Confirm that here in Ontario, Canada wage earners are paying 54% taxes.

[@richardfewer9348]

Can Leaf’s sign rookies to eight year contracts to get out of cap position?

[@savrajsingh5373]

I don’t trust Kevin weekes at all. Eliot said it’d be around 4 mill which makes sense if it goes 5-6 years.

[@disinformationworld9378]

Weekes said around 5. Could be high 4’s. LeBrun says mid 4’s. Probably depends on term.

[@markirek8956]

You do a great job!

[@user-xg8ig6zx5r]

So to finally get a top 4 right hand defense it will cost a contract that will most likely go downhill 1 year into the 6 year deal, wow just wow.

[@richardfewer9348]

Injuries scare me. Friend of mine Olympic class amateur injured and never recovered. Leafs broke and playing long shots?

[@bigdave8437]

I liked Boosh, but he had almost no offence. Dallas signed him at a 3.25M aav while Tree inked OEL (mind you for 2 more yrs) at 3.5M aav. No question, for an extra 250K OEL is a vastly superior D-man. He can play both sides & he was really good in Florida, ultimately replacing Montour on the PP. He was also very good on the PK. With Tanev & Hakanpää, Toronto's D is now much improved. Welcome back DTSB. Appreciate the calm, measured content from a Leaf supporter.

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

What happened to Edmundson, Samsonov, Brodie and Klingberg????

[@nathanpatrick9071]

he back

[@richardfewer9348]

In your opinion, what injuries cannot be recovered from?

[@ThatsBadTV]

Eh everyone else does that I wouldn’t be against it .. I also wonder if the leafs instead of getting into a bidding war should they look at Matt Murray for goalie situation

[@Phantus00]

The deal's starting to loose it's shine if 5m/per is the end result of us lowering the cap hit with term.

[@gh4121-b5n]

6 yrs, and the last 5 on LTIR😂🤣 . In his “Whole” career he’s only had “One” where he played a full season. Let that sink in.

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

Leafs: Tanev, Domi, Murray, OLE, Stoleraz, Liligren.

[@discoveryman59]

The Leafs should be re-building not signing more players to the Titanic!! They are RUNNING IT BACK BABY!!!

[@davidhouse6760]

Comments for the algo.

[@jasonwood8493]

We'll like Chris tanev for years 1 and 2. We'll hate chris tanev and his contact years 3 and beyond.

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

Tanev will only be good for 4 out of the 6 yrs if the last 2 yrs isn't good they can buy him out.

[@lancepayne4035]

The Leafs giving another stupid contract. When will they ever learn. The Leafs management were losers before, always signing players to deal for to much money nmc, etc. They gave those contracts and got nowhere in the playoffs. Let’s go in a different direction to make us better and everyone in management said we going to be different , we are going change the way we think etc. Now we see no , the way things are going unless everything changes in the summer, we are not as good as last year. Maybe not making playoffs. Look. At the rest of the Atlantic teams are doing, even metro teams , all doing good moves making there teams better.

[@formerlyknownashammerofthegods]

Tanev will be broken down in 2.

[@Flynn308]

Very bad signing. 35 years this year. Probably 2 years left and then LTIR

[@delsanravelvetheart4365]

Such an awful signing for a player of Tanev's age. Typical Leafs signing though, so it doesn't surprise me. Hopefully there is an opt out clause in the deal where both parties can go their own ways after a few years.

[@Mike-sl5lu]

Not terrible at all. He’s only 5% of the cap and since the cap is projected to be $96M in 2 years, that slaps him down to 4.7% of the total team cap. The cap is going to go up again if COVID 2 doesn’t happen, so he’ll probably end his contract as 2-3% of the total team cap. What’s not to like about that?

[@boogyjuggy]

Ya, lets get older, slower......sign long term deals to injured, ageing players....perfect, just like in Calgary....this GM - old school, archaic thinking......what a mess....wow.

[@disinformationworld9378]

Literally the best defensive defender in the league according to analytics. Right shot… This is how you win in playoffs…
