I doubt he'd get a 7-8 year deal, have to think Dubas would give him a 2-3 yr deal max, if Barrie wants to stay here - PatC80
He'll be looking for (and getting offers of) at least 5 yrs. I think he'll probably have pretty flattering numbers playing with the Leafs this year so he may very well play his way to a big overpayment somewhere else.
Lots of other options ...maybe. Faulk, Pietrangelo, Krug, Josi, Spurgeon, Vatanen ...all could hit UFAgency. |

Just need to hope Pierre McGuire becomes a GM somewhere. He thinks Ceci can develop into a perfect #2. Now #2 the poo or player...hard to tell what he was getting at. - AdamFrench
If he develops into a #2, he should definitely wear #7:

Enlighten me. I do not know of this debacle. - Aaron_85

We said he was full of himself.
Many times he privately said after a game how he outcoached the other guy. But it was something never really made public until May 3, when McGuire proclaimed that no coach in the NHL "can outwit me." That quote ran in The Hockey News and raised eyebrows all over the NHL.
His fascination with trying to outwit the other coach may hurt the Whalers in the long run. Instead of playing kids such as Robert Petrovicky or Kevin Smyth long after it was apparent the team was out of the playoff race, McGuire would fastidiously match lines, go with aging veterans and make sure certain faceoff alignments were always followed. Instead of development, he seemed just to want to squeeze out two points.
Once when he was an assistant coach, McGuire bragged about his strategy to shut down Mario Lemieux. This was after a 7-3 loss and four goals by Kevin Stevens.
On the bench, players said McGuire would taunt the other team, saying he couldn't believe the opposing coach was allowing him certain line matchups. This braggadocio led Pittsburgh's Jaromir Jagr to mock McGuire in December. McGuire got Jagr for an illegal stick, and after Jagr jumped out of the penalty box, he scored on a breakaway. Although he had scored big goals in two Stanley Cup championships, Jagr called this overtime goal the biggest of his life because he humbled "that know-it-all."
We said McGuire is calculating and lost the respect of his team.
Consider the Michael Nylander situation. McGuire would throw his arm around the young Swede and tell him he loved him like a son. He told him they would lead the Whalers to great heights. But after a humiliating 9-2 loss in Montreal -- a humiliation that should have shared by 20 players -- McGuire embarrassed Nylander by insisting he be sent to Springfield. Then McGuire told some people, including Gordon, that four or five players were tired of Nylander not playing defense and were prepared to beat him up if he weren't demoted. There's no truth to that, Burke and Verbeek said. |

I think he will be better on the Leafs.
Still just a 3rd pairing. - Santo_44
I agree. But I still can't see him being very good, though. |

Presuming that's he a good fit here, and plays this year at the same level he has over the past two years - would you go 8x5 taking him to 34? Term on UFA is such a sticky area.
If he fit here, and played up to expectation, I'd probably consider that - I find that 33/34 area is where players typically start to have steeper decline. - Monkeypunk
I’d give him 5 years.
I’d even do 4 at a higher cap hit...takes money off the books for AM and WN. |

He was a 3rd pairing D playing number 1 d mins
I wouldn’t be surprised if he is a little better than Z..but of course he won’t be given Z’s role. It’ll be limited. |
