If the Leafs had traded 2 x top 20 1st round pics & that player for Dobson with the extension you just know many Leaf fans and for sure non-leaf fans would be screaming it was an overpayment! I actually think this one is a bit of a wash right now and both teams feel like they won.
cough**the Kessel trade**cough….
that what that trade makes me think of somewhat.
I feel like it COULD be similar to Phaneuf. In that he had a really high ceiling in his first few years then tapered off to just a “good” D-man. I hope it doesn’t but that’s kind of where my mind went on this trade. Wouldn’t be the first time a young d-man got traded and kind of slid in his career.
BJ’s getting a couple centers the last couple days. Just depth.
JT signing is DNA change. He could have got 7 million on the open market but he wants to win in his hometown. He took a real discount. Show Knies if he wants to be here then to take what’s offered and win.
I keep hearing via media how “depth” is the reason Florida won the cup but it seems glossed over that the reason they had depth was because they had 9 million on LTIR before the playoffs so they could acquire the depth. Where are the panthers without Jones/Marchand? Leafs are way closer than we think as fans if this is the benchmark.
Yeah I get Florida, TB and Vegas all abused this rule in the CBA and anyone can use it, okay that’s fine but it’s being closed because why have all these “winners” win only because they cheated?This upcoming year will the last year of LTIR abuse.
It’s going to be horrifying to watch teams abuse it one last time.
Unless the Leafs do it.

I had heard briefly by Pierre Lebrun that some clauses would go into effect for the upcoming season. I’m surprised if the LTIR one isn’t one of them.
Great move from JT but don’t expect the same from Knies. Tavares has earned over $111M n his career and this is his last contract. Knies has earned less than $2M and this contract will set the basis for future deals.

So he has to take 9 million and no in between? I would hope Knies takes something like 6mil x 4 years

Those morons don’t know what LTIR is outside of a guy with a bad cough who makes 1.5mil.

Dude: are you really forgetting the Riley Nash deal?
My guess is that he’ll get more than most fans would like but less than what he was looking for. My point is simply that you can’t compare his situation with JT’s decision to sign a sweetheart deal.

If he isn’t signed by July 1, I predict an offer sheet, which will force the Leafs’ hand.
In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s what Knies’ agent is banking on.
Pun intended.
How’s the Left Coast, Cupsie? We are headed out there in about a month – Sunshine Coast.
Here is one of the places I saw it, not sure how legit the sporting news is.

Knies isnt worth more than $7m per over 5 years.
JT has $2m in deferred compensation
full no move clause the first 2 years
5 team trade list the last 2 years.Yup, all of those are perfectly fine.
Agreed.
This quote button has got me horny
It’s pretty sweet here on Salt Spring. The place is gorgeous and quite chill. Half the population looks like they came straight here from Woodstock. Not many restaurants but lots of nice food trucks. Winter was pretty quiet but the place is jumping now. We’ve got a great view looking across to Vancouver Island and there are trails just across the street for the pup.
I’ve started golfing at sweet nine hole course 5 minutes away.
Not being able to get a family doctor sucks.

But i hope you are right in that i hope he turns into a phaneuf. The habs need a phaneufI actually believe the panthers were $19m over the cap.
What a joke.Why didnt the leafs do that?
