Or.. he signs with the Leafs at a slight discount (9mil) and goes on to put up 40+ goals for the next 5 years...
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Well.
He could sign with the leafs.....yes.
40 goals maybe.
discount....hmmm not 9.....I could see 10 if the leafs guarantee 3- 3.5 in endorsements /sponsorship.

I think its Tampa or Toronto. I agree with what Wedgie has been saying all along - does he want to be a Maple Leaf or not. That's all it really comes down to.
- fifty__missions

Well, its all the BS that comes with it as well.

50 goals? Conference finals......MMMM Koolaid.
I doubt it.

And I believe a glass can never be half empty....dont believe you can have half of zero.
so its always half full.

- Fakepartofme


Actually you can. From a strict Mathematical view, half of zero is still zero, you only run into trouble when you try to divide by zero.

The three years still slide - I'm assuming 9/82 of his NHL Salary? I doubt there are any bonuses he could hit in that span.
- RickJames77


I think they get paid on a bi-weekly basis like a lot of us schmucks. So I suspect it's based on the time that he's on the active NHL roster. So if he hangs around for the first 6 weeks he'd get 3 nice big paychecks.

I think I read that they get paid over the 6'ish months of the season. So ...6 weeks out of (call it 28 weeks) = 6 x 925000 / 28 = ~200k. Not bad for 6 weeks work.

Head back to London (if they sent him back) and pick up your new Audi R8. Ruin the lives of many a young teenage girl and get ready for next year.

I still think he makes the Leafs.

you'd have to check a game out and ensure Kerby is playing - will be epic for you and the family that first NHL game for Leafs!

In other Leafs news, they just announced the fall lineup for LeafsTV. A couple of interesting new shows:

- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: Leafs Edition. Watch Leafs players answer hockey trivia questions to win huge sums of cash that do not count against the salary cap.

- Deal or No Deal: Stamkos Edition. A new twist on a classic game show. There are two suitcases. One filled with $5 million. The other filled with $6 million. They are clearly labelled.

- Survivor: Robidas Island. Lupul, Robidas and Bernier will compete, but the show will never actually be seen. Forget I even posted this.

- Pot of Gold Leafs Dart Tournament. Watch Leafs players compete in a high-stakes dart tournament, with $50,000,000 in prize money.

So do I, he is a big part of the "Shannyplan" , they didn't send Rielly back and Marner is closer to being ready. Hopefully he bulks up a little this summer.

19.5 milly plus Bozak and Lupul. I think next summer Lupul is either bought out or on the LTIR so they save Cap space either way. And Bozak's got to be gone by then ...doesn't he? ...please?

He has some of the worst stats of 106 starting pitchers....he ranks 105th 106th in many categories.
You give him one more game....the jays cant afford to have guaranteed losses.

- Fakepartofme


in games Stroman started the Jays are 8-7
in his last 8 horrible starts the they are 3-5

you like to talk in absolutes a lot ..
guaranteed loss
100% mental

here's the thing

you dont put a player on the NHL roster because he outgrew his current development team

you put a player on the NHL roster because he earned the spot

no freebies... no matter what... not under babcock

Think bigger my friend. Lupul on the roster next year costs 5.2 in Cap space. Lupul can be replaced next year by someone making a million. Therefore, Lupul being bought out is Cap savings.

Agree, that's the way it should be. The kid has magic hands and can skate like the wind, I wouldn't bet against him.
