FCP Bob 1,320 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Real world or fantasy? real world of course. I think he's going to be a very good complimentary player who can play on any line. As they would say in Boston he's a wicked smart player. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I dont know if he took "less" money. Thats a lot of money up front, might make the diff between 11mil per year and 12mill per year kind of irrelevant. And you add endorsement opp's in Tor/Canada vs being in SJ/DAL/BOS. The only other thing that night have mattered was state taxes Link to post Share on other sites

The only other thing that night have mattered was state taxes Very true. The story about him not wanting to play in the media frenzy market and move to San Jose has to be made up. I think it was only between Isles and Leafs and he really didn’t consider any other team seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 Remember how pissed off Some Leaf fans were at the Sundin crew not waiving no trade clauses and Leafs getting nothing. Imagine what Tavares gets at the deadline last year when lesser players were getting first round picks. If he went to a team as a rental how that might change the playoff results.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I think it was only between Isles and Leafs and he really didn't consider any other team seriously. Just guessing, but I think so too. I think actually he's had the Leafs on his radar for a long time, and he may have already been leaning this way for months/years. I cant even imagine how many back channel questions have been asked of the Leafs franchise by his agents, asking about Babcock/Dubas/teammates....all of it. If his agents are worth the 5%? (maybe more/less), then they have already presented him with months and months of data on where the teams lie, what the hockey would be like, what life would be like. The thought that this decision was made this week, I just dont buy it Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Holy crap, what a signing. I found out reading his twitter note too, which was awesome because I thought it was just him saying goodbye to Isles fans, then got to the Toronto part and actually woke up my napping wife saying “holy shit”. And I don’t even really care!! Can’t imagine what this is like for actual Leafs fans. Must be the biggest free agent signing in Toronto history, no? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 A smart man once told me (Arp) that salary cap issues are overrated and teams will figure it out. I’m sure Dubas and clan have mapped out the next 5-7 years. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I hadnt gone on Eklund for a couple of years..Decided to venture there for fun.. He has something about Lou being mad at Leafs and he might utilize the offer sheet with Nylander, Marner or Matthews.. I doubt it would happen.. The other thing is why is the Offer sheet a thing, if its rarely ever used.. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Friedman has said that a GM told him he would bet his house that NYI will offersheet someone on Leafs. Link to post Share on other sites
