Didnt tanev say he want to return to van
Time to move on from Stamkos. I said it.
I like Tanev, as he's a heart player, but no, I wouldn't want him on my team at this point. Will be 35 years old shortly after the season starts, and everyone knows that each year you age after 33, is like aging 5 in your mid 20s.
I wish him well there, but, I just don't see this ending well, as Toronto is going to expect too much from the guy. They have a habit of signing geriatric players at the ends of their careers.
Looks like Chris Tanev is going to the Leafs.I knew he wouldn't stay in Dallas.Logan Thompson traded to Washington from Vegas.
It would be a safe bet for a 34 year old battle scared Tanev to sign a long term deal with a team like the Leafs or the Habs as they don't seem to mind wasting money on players on LTIR for half the entire contract length.
From the players perspective, get paid millions to golf and fish sounds pretty sweet.
Signing vets and old players long term isn't really a problem anymore with the normalisation of that way of using LTIR.
Teams with deep pockets like Toronto, Montreal or NYR could/will abuse the shit out of it until they can’t. If you are contending within a certain window might as well sign those risky long term contracts to reduce AAV now.
Who wouldn’t sign Crosby in 25-26 at 38, for lets say 3-4 mil AAV 5 years, if he even gives 1 good year of hockey it’s worth it, if he gets injured LTIR, if he gets bored of hockey he retires … with inflation and the current market he might even get a lot better AAV, but at this point i believe he would take a lower AAV to get cups.
Love Tanev, but for term: 2 years is safe, 4 is a stretch, but 5+ is hoping LTIR finishes his career at some point and you can use the extra years to reduce the immediate cap hit
Idk if i’d call this “interesting” i feel like this was inevitable. Tanevs the name i’ve heard connected to the leafs most year after year. They hardly got rid of anything and just want to sign him before he gets offered big money. He’ll get long term and the last couple years will on ltir or waived
The fact we still dont have solid goaltending still doesn’t improve our chances.. that, some scoring depth, and another defensive piece then I’d say maybe, MAYBE we’re ready
I want Mitch marner gone I genuinely would be suprised if I check his stats and saw a singular hit he’s not physical he gives up pucks because he’s not physical and he is laziness’s just lost another game 7 in overtime 2 months ago and I know they would have lost anyways but marner is genuinely dead weight in the playoffs
Man we missed him in Vancouver
The leafs love to waste money and spend foolishly. What a stupid trade. Tanev is old and injury prone. Smh. Wow. 😅
I wouldn't look at a 5-year term as an expectation that he plays another 5 years. It's just a way to make the AAV lower. The window in Toronto is now, so term doesn't matter. Maybe he spends the final 2 years on LTIR. I just hope the Leafs make the best of their cap space. No more freeloaders. We have the offensive weapons. We need D and goaltending.
Utah is qualifying for the playoffs, im calling it
Hahaha Tanev went from a legit contender, to definite pretender. Hazbeen
Tampa ypu knew would dump salary, to try and find cap space for Stamkos. But Brisebois may have burned his bridge there. Seeing as alot of good forwards are ufa's cone Monday, teams that lose pending ufa's, will be looking at Stamkos, so he can get what he wants.
OEL gonna get that residual cup champ money.
Toronto where huge contracts go to die
Geekie is a good player and it helps TB de-Russify their team.
Love everything Treliving is doing. Expect yet another D and G coming in. What will be disappointing is if Tre can't get a Marner trade done. Running things back to infinity or letting him walk for nothing shouldn't be an option.
I hope the cap hit is reasonable with Tanev. Who cares about length as it's the Leafs. They've mastered the LTIR.
Take more than Tanev to help T.O
Let's be honest, it's the leafs. 8 years 6.66 million per.
Awful trade , lol , leafs gonna give him a 6 yr contract, lmao
Signing rights on an UFA is not exactly a signing.
Tyres that have a lot of tread left on them is the exact opposite of what you meant about a 34 year old that is injury prone.
tanev over rated if you ask me, there is a reason he bounces around so often
Zadorov being a leaf would be the ultimate betrayal 😢
Happy learned how to putt.
Uh oh….
Tanev has the opportunity to do something hilarious and just sign with Dallas in FA anyway
Leafs prospect pool is really really shallow. While management is bloated. Meanwhile, the fans are still stubborn beleafers.
Tanev will demand too much money; or he goes to the highest bidder. Leafs will overpay …. as usual.
Still say the Leafs should let the Émirats acquire them.😂😂😂😂😂😂
How many heads would explode if Tanev signed with Dallas?
"Very interesting?" They need a defenseman, and they gave up little to try to sign their new GMs old buddy. Most boring trade, ever.
Marner will be traded from the Leafs
Its not south paw its right catch
I love Robidas Island.
That Lupul/Robidas meme is crazy 💀
Too old now, used up, battered and bruised , will miss 25 games…perfect for Toronto and they'll sign him long term lol
Wish oilers had Tanev
Taking a punt on an older injury-prone player is very Leafs.
Injury prone so no issue sending him to Robidas Island with a bag of cash when his time is up
