  1. Very glad of that sign, as I mentionned it when they signed mcmann hoping the same for Benoît. Now they need a new era on défense and not signing again brodie, giordano and liljegren keeping the money for free agents or an exchange. I realy think that treliving is placing his pawns for next year

  2. yay looks like he's going to be skating the puck into the bench during a line change causing goals against for years to come

  3. Benoit reminds me of former Leafs defence man Sylvain Lefebvre. Just a really strong no nonsense defensive defence man who plays 100% every game. Good deal.

  4. I never made the food association but by farrrr the most notable is Phil Kessel. Minutes after he lifted the cup, someone photoshopped a hotdog there instead. So glad he got the ironman just to rub it in the face of the naysayers.

  5. in terms of "defense", there isn't a Toronto Maple Leaf that I trust more than Simon Benoit. Always in the right spot, battles hard, rarely makes a mistake, clears the front of the net better than most in the NHL and he hits a ton… game in and game out. Great signing for the Leafs and at a very, very reasonable, team friendly cap hit. Simon Bernoit earned this contract and he deserves every penny.

  6. Anyone crapping on Brad need to eat their words now. He is at least deciding to keep these awesome players around. Let me just say if he was their gm when Dubas let hyman leave I believe he would still be a leaf today.

  7. With the players Brad has brought in, they have a edge to them and this team will NOT be pushed around in the playoffs! Simon deserves the contract! Go Leafs Go!!!

  8. Wanted to leave a comment to help your logarithm. Defense seems to be harder than offense to learn ( ask Domi ) so Benoit seems ahead of the game there.

  9. Always seems risky to sign a player whose style is heavily physical to more than a couple years. But Treliving seems to like the 3 year deal.

  10. I like. It shows some maturity it the team’s management that they realize they can’t let guys like Benoit walk and try to replace him with another minimum wager. By the end of this coming playoffs, Benoit will bleed blue and white. LOVE those guys.

  11. Do you think that the leafs will have the cap space to extend domi and Burt or at least one of them or will they be comeplete rentals I really like them so I hope not

  12. Of course Steve would forget Phil Kessel when it comes to food. The three time champ. Steve was a hate boner for the guy.

  13. I met Benoit at Ducks day at disney last year…he was so fun to talk to and such a cool guy! so happy for him!!
