The bonus issue is why they won't get Vesey.
- Newgod77



Leafs trade their 2017 1st round pick to Buffalo for Vesey's rights.
Leafs sign Vesey to a 2 year deal.
Leafs trade Vesey and Matthews to Boston for John-Michael Liles and a 7th round pick!

You win the internet.

How does he compare to other ECAC greats such as dominic moore and lee stempniak?

Wait didn't Shanahan just say when Lou came he was reminded this isn't New Jersey? NJ probably had to penny pinch everything so Lou followed company suit with bonuses.. If it is not against the cap he knows the dough the Leafs has. Bonuses will not be the issue

I'm starting to think that he actually believes this poop.

Matthews is a "good" player? Then I guess the entire Sens forward group is all crap...oh, wait...


His Leaf envy is reaching the level where "over 9000" memes are necessary...

definitely over 9000

Marner has bonus clauses.

Matthews will get bonus clauses.

The hold up is the Leafs waiting until they are closer to "done" this summer so they know exactly what their cap looks like.

Amazing that nobody else gets this. I anticipate at least 2 more moves before they sign Matthews.

Both issues are unrelated.
Matthews bonus structure will not be linked to any trades/UFA signings next two months.

Can't wait til Karlsson asks for a trade to get out from under all of Melnyk's cheapness, meddling and tampering.

The fact that I could see Garf doing that, makes this post oh so much more disturbing.

Cory Conacher signs with Tampa Bay.

As of now, Ben Bishop was traded in return for a 4th round pick
