and replacing him will cost more money or time imo

Over under on the Jays wins this season - 82.5

Go!

Under, I like the additions made so far in Diaz, Garcia, Grichuk and even grandpa Granderson, but I still don't think there is enough talent on the team to go on any sort of deep playoff run..

I'd also like to see Buffalo lose out on the draft to the likes of Detroit.

......don't worry, we will!......

I think he said that he wants to be a Leaf.

Pretty much, I’m sure some people think he is going to take a 1-1.5 million a year cut or something

A player stating he wants to play for the team he currently plays for?

This almost never happens!!

totally, everyone knows that spot in front of the goalie is the easiest place to stand. Fish in a barrel

Train another monkey to tip shots and bang in rebounds.

He'd be ok for the 1st couple years of a new contract....after that.

To be fair, I can think of one guy who has done exactly that.

Keith too? I can't remember what he makes...but I think he took a good chunk less?

McJesus took $750,000 hair cut off his deal! To you know, help his team.

I have to agree here. Unless JVR gets signed at 5 million or less per year it won't work in Toronto. I suspect he wants 7/year and he will get it somewhere else to be a fairly 1 dimensional player. (The only reason he doesn't get crapped on by media and fans is because his deal is so good right now)

I don't remember him doing so but i'll take your word for it.
- Scabeh

his cap hit is $5.5M per season, but it was a like 12-13 yr deal.

I don't remember him doing so but i'll take your word for it.
- Scabeh

Oh maybe not then...13yr deal at $5.5?

They have to be able to pay the Kassian's of the team.

NOT SURE WHY IT'S BOLDED

I guess he could have gotten a little more than 8,5M.... he WAS injured alot though.

Over. 90 wins
