Fantastic team friendly contract..my new favorite leaf
This was an honourable and good deal for both. It would have been a big disgrace to kick him out.
You better give him standing ovations to him in the first game.
He can' t be any more a Captain for this team. But he can be the Leader.
Meanwhile start looking for a new Captain. Give Matthevs A, and he will play better. He is a bery good player anyway, in spite of huge critics. But not any Captain category of player.
The management wants to do the lot discussed DNA change of the team. So far nothing has happened in that sector. Tavares comments in this issue were pure hockey jargon.
You need new key players with different mentality. But first, pls sign Knies. You can' t loose him.
You’re such a leader!
Put up a statue of Johnny Toronto. He is an absolute BEAUTY
We love you, Johnny. Thank you for staying!
JT setting the example!!
This is the right decision for him and his family. He’s already made 100 million US. He’s from TO with a young family. So this is just Bonus money 💴 for him to stay home and raise his family. All this new contract money just goes in the bank.
These guys have it made.
Too bad some of the younger stars weren't even half as selfless as John! (ESPECIALLY a certain "someone" who is leaving who epitomizes selfishness)
SO HAPPY John is staying!!
Great deal for the leafs, it’s about time they get a team friendly deal, congrats to JT…yes it’s a discount but man do these guys make a lot of money compared to the rest of us 😂
Congrats John, and thanks for sticking around, you're a huge part of this team, the heart of the team.
I.M.O. John OWED the Leafs a team friendly contract. At 11,000,000.00 per year he really only had one year at that value. He could now be a difference maker at the new number, however his skating will be the real detail. He wanted to stay in T.O. and this contract could be very helpful to the team. MLSE, as an organization has poorly managed their ‘stars’ by overpaying constantly, maybe ‘TREE’ Will change that…
It’s refreshing to see someone in TO take a bit of a discount. Thanks JT!
Now islanders fans need to understand what he means to be a leaf
Johnny Toronto!!!
The one thing about JT is his commitment and discipline – I don’t think there should be concern for his fitness falling off for a few years. And the hands and the head never go. What a steal of a deal. Leading by example on this one.
Hey Mitch……take notes from JT ….its not always about money! And also, build this man a statue right now!
Dude has the charisma of a plank of wood, but FUCK do I not doubt his skill, OR his love for Toronto. Glad to have him back, and at an absolute steal of a contract for the team.
He is a man of his word, he said he wants to remain a leaf, and most likely he’s loosing money with this new contract and he decided to still play for the leafs. I just put him high on my list W2G JT and good luck next season
Atta boy JT.
Toronto will retire your number for this act of leadership and team devotion
Man Rocket
Johnny T just officially became Johnny Toronto💪👍🥳 Now that's a real home town discount that helps the team !
This just shows John wants to stay & help better the team with other players thanks John
I'm so happy that you're staying. You are a great player and were a great captain.
💪🏽🥳🙏💙🤍💙
JT gets a lottery winner ticket every year as his contract for us regular dudes. His wife is in good shape and not some 180 lb piglet in her PJs giving you shit for whatever. JT is way luckier than all of us mugs. Just win the f'n trophy for us, JT. We want you to win. It's kind of sad and shit, but seriously JT, just give 'er for us nobodies out here. We're behind you, bud. GLG!
What a friggin' gent.
With this discount contract. John still has the "C" in my eyes
Tavares has earned the right to be Captain. Matthews has not earned that right nor lived up to the responsibilities of wearing it.
We love Tavares ❤❤❤❤❤
