Didn't see that coming. I like it. Moore to replace Boyle is fine by me. Seems like Marleau signing sets up another deal. Marleau is an excellent trigger man and we have no shortage of kids that can dish the puck. 3x6 is nothing.

Suck it Scabies

Bozak will be re-signed for 3-4 years at the same cap hit and it will still be a bargain. We need us some Bozak as he is a very important part of the team.

Agreed, the whipping boy is a very underrated position.

So burke and nonis are back with the leafs?
Back to signing old guys.
A 37 year old making over 8 million. Oh boy.
Well marleau seems like hes durable. We'll see.
Maximus should be happy.

I look at it more like a two-year deal because they can Robidas the poop out of him after all that signing bonus and front-loading.

Not too worried.

Still, I'd have preferred to not sign him, but Babs gets what he wants.

thanks for your opinion. we ll take it from where its coming from. the avs look awesome.

And I live in Northern California and have for 30+ years.

Good luck with him.

One season of making the playoffs and all of a sudden the Leafs are the wunder organization lmfao.

No one really in the pipeline to replace him.

I was gonna say the Avs made the playoffs once and signed Iggy........that worked out well .

leafs literally had nothing else to spend their cap space on. should they have held onto the money and prayed carlson or tavares would sign with them next summer? lol don't think some people realize how good their cap situation over the next couple years is.

Surprised nobody has made their Leafs lineup yet...

Shoulda given him 17 years

Some salty tears in here b'ys.

Extremely impressed with the total NMC on the 37-year-old's 6-million plus contract -- that was a nice touch

I agree.

Lou was also saying he sees hainsey in the top 4 this year so I'm not even sure if he plans on trading jvr for a dman.

NMC is not a get out of robidas island free card.

Let's be honest - 3 years X $6.25 milly for a 37 year old is pretty much a NMC all by itself.

We will try to win our games 12-11.

At least it will be exciting.

Leafs just a season with 3 young rookies with great potential. A bunch of other solid young players like Reilly and Brown. But they signed a 37 year recently. The team now sucks and is too old magically.

Cap is facked. Matthews is getting mcdavid money and nylander and marner are now worth 10+. Can't keep em all now.
