Supply and demand.

Given his numbers, he would have got that on the open market.

You're probably right, that is why they should have traded him. I don't know, to me he disappears too much to be making that kind of money

If he took 5.5, i fear he just went from being loved for his hard play to being hated for making too much.
And if guys like Grabo are cashing in on 5.5 per....expect a lockout soon.

Wow...too much on a five year deal. I could see that amount on a two or three year deal...wow.

Should have dealt the little wiener...

SEE!? My hate already started. I don't even wanna think what we're going to have to pay Lupul/Kessel, who have broken the 60 point mark....

Grabs is worth 5.5 - He is a Centre who can score/hit/make plays/kill penelties and has wants to win! He would have gotten 6 on the open market. These numbers are similar to Plekanec. Grabs is just as good as Pleks and now we have him for 5 years. Great signing by Burkie.

He hasn't put up the numbers ONE TIME in his career to justify that contract. If he was signed to 4 million, he'd be one of my favorite Leafs...his new contract is brutal.

He now will be under the microscope of Leaf Nation......... just as Connolly. When he starts to disappear, the boo birds will be out in full force. You can disappear while making 3 million...... at 5.5 million, we expect you to produce consistently

This contract stings, but there are valid points out there. Who else on the UFA market would we replace his production with, and if Burke knows he's going to be unloading Lombardi/Connolly/Armstrong, there will still be cap room for larger deals in the summer.
