He's not worth 7 and every GM knows that's what he will want. So what do you think they'll give up for a guy they wont sign? - the_eye
As a UFA JVR is definitely getting $7m. Look around at the comps.
If he's traded, that team will have the 8 year option and should be able to negotiate less of a hit for that extra year. It makes better sense. |

I feel that he's just bring with him a printout of the CapFriendly page for Milan Lucic.
His pitch will basically be him showing that, shrugging and being like "Guys. Seriously. Seriously, guys...."

So.. because Lucic got 7 mill or whatever he got JVR is worth that?
JVR aint worth that and if he was the Leafs would keep him. |

I believe they're closer than you think, A couple of bounces or non calls last year and they'd have been playing Pittsburg.
And they have the speed to keep up with them. - the_eye
Pens got lucky/flukey on their road to the cup!imho an ottawa Cinderella team,and a Nashville team with out their top center! And not much scoring depth! You could argue that they didn't have letang?..but obviously he was not a factor at all ! Plus both Washington and Nashville goalies got cold or kinda sucked? |

I could also argue that they are a fast team and that the Leafs are one of a very few that are faster. |

Like I said, Leafs won't pay it cause he's not worth it.
Just cause there are idiot GM's doesn't make it so. |

Yes it's true that the leafs or even Edmonton would of possibly have been better match ups? Who was pitts first line center(Crosby ) and Nashvilles? we've now seen pitts win two cups with less then an Allstar dcore! Edmonton with mcdavid! With his speed against pitts dcore and Kadri drives Crosby nuts! |

On the Toronto Maple Leafs …
Howard Berger: “Maybe it’s happening. Source: #Leafs working “on a big” trade to acquire a legit No. 1 defenseman. Wouldn’t reveal particulars.”
Howard Berger: “#Leafs apparently talking trade with Colorado, Calgary and the Rangers. Details sketchy. But, looking to off-load salary for a d-man.” |

Marleau isnt worth 6.25 and leafs paid it, i dont think JVR will get 7 anyway. Probably be 6 a year from someone |

I agree - overzealous for sure. There is no doubting though that there is a changing of the guard taking place. Teams like Edmonton, Calgary, Nashville are on the way up in the west. And just ask yourself - if Pittsburgh made it to the final next year and were facing Edmonton - which team would you favour. I would take Edmonton. Toronto is on the way up but are still probably another year from contending - but stranger things have happened. Once Liljegren is in the NHL this team will be ready to contend for a cup barring injuries.

Marleau is a s good and better in most if not all aspects of the game, Plus JVR is gonna want a max time contract.
JVR is for sure worth 7 mill for 3 years but 8 years. |

While it might be an overpay, he is a really good and reliable pick up. Can't say he isn't worth it, until we see him play on the Leafs. I agree that JVR will get 5.5 - 6 for five years and Leafs might give him that - he would be worth more in trade if he was signed. Note Marleau hasn't missed a game in 9 years, and has missed about 30 in his 19 year career.

I think Calgary is going to be a big threat sooner then later, no one really mentions them. Winnipeg also has some nice pieces, im going to wait another year before i start calling this team the next chicago, i havent loved many of the moves made the past two years either personally. Liljegren panning out would be huge but we'll see what kind of year he has. |

Nevermind them, they're saying JVR is worth 7 mill and Marleau is a way more complete player. |

Marleau is going to be 38 when the season starts, im excited to add him but 6.25 for 3 years was a hefty price to pay for him. Im hoping it works out, and we get at least two decent years out of him. |
