Marleau to the Leafs...

[Bruyns]

I wanted Marleau, but not for 3 years.

[lightupdadarkness]

3 yrs 6.25M AAV

[thom54]

my initial reaction is ... that's fucking putrid bad. But ... hoping for better

[kyuss]

Jesus, did they forget to check out his DOB ?

[Bruyns]

We need to spend money while the best players are on ELC's so it's not hard to rationalize it when there wasn't much available in terms of impact players. Not a great allocation of cap, but they were in great shape even with the 5M+ bonus overage.

[thom54]

Marleau: year 1) $8.5M 2) $6 mil. 3) $4.25

huge bacdive for year 3 when Marner, Gardiner and Austin are up for renewal

[Tony]

Good. Having actual media pressure might be the boot in the ass he needs. Glad we didn't spend the money on him though...

[Bruyns]

Hopefully this also means Hyman gets pushed down the lineup to give Matthews more talented linemates.

Thom you do know the actual cap dollars don't matter though right? Makes it more tradeable if needed year 3 I guess.

[Bruyns]

Also hasn't missed a game in 8 seasons so that's good for an old guy right?

Just trying to talk myself into being OK with this haha.

*salary? yea but it helps him to be moved to a ... new age arizona / Cheap ass Ottawa (cap hit > salary)

[thom54]

BUT ... BUHH BYEE HYMAN from top6/Matthews' wing !!!!!

GOOD NEWS !

[Matthew]

Good for tony for trading. A lot easier to rationalize acquiring a guy when he has a 3 year contract in bbkl.

[lightupdadarkness]

Didn't think he'd leave SJ especially after Jumbo signed but money talks

[CasperX22]

I don't get this at all for Toronto. Not a great use of funds at all. I wouldnt have given him more than 2 years Max. An unnecessary signing at that.

[Tony]

his linemates were Joel-god damn-Ward and Chris-mother fucking-Tierney and he still had decent numbers
