I guess... it's only 2.5m wasted.

Leafs still have space.

Might hurt in a couple of years though.

Nah with the salary cap trend and adding another team I don't see it having much effect. As long as he isn't completely useless

He's worth 2 mill. Had to pay 2.5 cause of free agency. Good signing
- Santo_44

I completely disagree.

His BEST season was last year where he had a whooping 19 points.

If he's worth 2.5m... who isnt?

I'm okay with this. You HAVE to have someone to protect the young guys. This guy is a Komorov that can fight.

We have our young guys making under a million for 3 years at least.

That's my point. To me, he is.

But hey that's just like... my opinion man.

i don't hate it.

would have preferred $2M, but this is fine.
- Tumbleweed

I kinda feel the same. He's ok for what he does.....league leader in hits and can play. $2.5M a bit much but doesn't break the bank.

Everyone here hates on the Matt Martin signing... but everyone on the TSN panel have nothing but great things to say... gotta love the saltiness of the so called experts on here.

No more pushing around our guys. How many times have other teams cheap shot our guys, especially Dion ..and nobody did anything. 2.5M isn't bad...i've seen other teams do a lot worse today.

Yeah those brutes on the Pens sure helped protect their way to the cup...

I love komarov.

I completely disagree.

I dont think he was signed to be the teams leading scorer.

Someone tell management that we don't need to sign free agents just because they're not under contract right now please. Thanks.

Komorov is a much better player.

He's worth 2 mill. Had to pay 2.5 cause of free agency. Good signing
- Santo_44

Tim Gleason comes off the books in 2 years... That will cover over half of Martins contract lol.

That's my point. To me, he is.

But hey that's just like... my opinion man.
- Scabeh

Matt Martin is worth $2.5m more per year than your opinion

I completely disagree.

His BEST season was last year where he had a whooping 19 points.

If he's worth 2.5m... who isnt?
- Scabeh

For 10-15 more points you get a Andrew shaw 4 million for 6 years

Yeah those brutes on the Pens sure helped protect their way to the cup...
- lumlums

Are we winning a cup in the next four years?

I dont think he was signed to be the teams leading scorer.
- systemtool

So he's there to fight?

Useful stuff right there.

That's my point. To me, he is.

But hey that's just like... my opinion man.
- Scabeh

Well (frank) then. The panel guys seem to like him so who knows. I don't t follow him much.

We have a stockpile of older 4th liners in Michalek, Laich, Greening, etc., I just don't see the need. Could we not have reupped Clune on a two-way to ride shotgun? Seems Burkish.

Oh well, it's 2.5M. Hope we stay away from Russell.
