    Great news, happy to have the milkman for three more years!

    That’s good value for a physical bottom pairing guy. Can’t wait to see who they can get for the right side in the offseason.

    What a dream contract for the Leafs. Term with almost no risk, that’s almost fully buriable and by the end of the deal no doubt it will be. Can’t wait for three more years of the Milkman!

    Decent term and low cap hit that if he regresses he is all but 200k buriable. Leafs need cheap cap hits for next year to fill out the roster and this and the McMann deals help fill holes for cheap

    10/10 deal, buyable in worst case scenario tremendous value for how he’s playing now. And if he only amounts to 3rd pair guy it’s only gets better as the cap goes up. Also with money coming off the books this offseason. It narrows down what we need to look for and allows the financials to be super clear.

    Is there something special about 1.35m? Reaves, McMann, and now Benoit are all being paid that exact amount next year

    W, W, W, W, W, W, W, W, W, W.

    BENNY FOR 3 MORE WOOOOOO

    Signing the hard workers who know their role and show up to the best of their ability every single game.

    I like it

    Great signing. Even if he regresses a little and is a 3rd pairing guy it’s still extremely reasonable. Right now I have him playing like a 4th/5th but he has exceeded expectations by a long shot.

    What a fucking steal. Start the car.

    Dubas likes Gustafsson type players. 

    Treliving likes the Benoit types. 

    We shall see. 

  12. I didn’t mind Holl in the roster, but this over Holl at $2m any day.

    His chemistry with McCabe is awesome, I don’t think we are going to get McCabe for $2m again though lol.

    Here’s hoping for a good playoff run with him this year. That physicality will pile up in a series, and unlike Reaves it doesn’t seem like a waste if he doesn’t have a dance partner.

    This is such a great deal when I saw 3 years 4.05 mill, I didn’t know if it was AAV or full term 🤣

  14. GREATWOLLofTORONTO

    6’3
    25 years old is a baby for a D
    Good for 100 blocks and 200 hits

    There’s still a ton of development room. Historically, D come into their own during the 27/28 year old seasons.

    This is good business.

  15. At that term, dollar and this player, IDK how you can’t like the deal. Very solid for both sides, happy to have him stick around !

  16. ElephantShell34

    Seems good. Ideally he’s probably always gonna be a bottom pair guy but it’s nice to have some continuity down there and not have to look for new bodies every year. 

    Plus he seems like a good vibes guy for the team.

    Great pick up and signing by Brad. But people won’t give him credit.

  18. Dubas would’ve traded him for a 5’9 135lb winger who will be playing Europe in 2 years
