Confirmed with Link: Leafs re-sign Connor Brown (3 years; $2.1 AAV)

[Randy Randerson]

with a starting point of $2.1M AAV it would have been great if we could get a couple of UFA years at a little more AAV, maybe $2.5-2.75M for 5-6 years. Either way, quite a bit less than I thought he'd get

 

[TorontoTrades]

great deal for Toronto.

Wish this deal got done before the Hyman deal. Could have kept it down a bit.

Poor guy is getting robbed lol

He's still gonna earn $6.3 million in 3 years... and he'll probably make lots more after that. He's gonna be rich and set for life at a pretty young age.

 

[Menzinger]

Indeed, that's a different conversation.

Regardless I pegged that Brown would get a $3 X 3 type of deal so this is a nice bargain for a top 9 winger that can play at both ends, PK, play some secondary PP minutes, and pot 20+ goals

Agreed fully. An excellent deal, I had figured Brown would get 3ish. So this is a very pleasant surprise.

 

[crump]

Great news. Excellent player.

 

[Its not your fault]

Wow just wow lmfao I like this and slept well till he was signed. Great Night for ALL in leaf land.

Hyman contract so stupid. Kid would've played for free. Dad is loaded. All dad wants is for his son's name to be in lights.

 

[TMLegend]

Good contract with no real downside.

 

[Kiwi]

What the ****

How does Brown get that and Hyman Get what he got?

Bit of a head scratcher

Please read the multiple posts explaining contract status.

Maybe it should be stuck on the front page for everyone chiming in with the same thing.

People can talk about contract status all they want but one player scored 20 goals on a matchup line and the other one couldn't hit the side of a barn door playing with our best young player's

Add in the fact Hyman got a partial NTC and Brown is being robbed

this can all be explained by contract status. Don't overthink it

 

[Bullseye]

Bonuses in the deal?

 

[Marshy]

What a steal of a deal. Wow.

Asset management like this will go a long way to bringing a cup home.

I guess you know the family well then right? This kinda crap should not be posted here.

 

[Caesium]

People are still whining about and not understanding why Hyman makes more than Brown? I'm not surprised, I'm just disappointed.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Bonuses in the deal?

signing bonuses you mean? Because performance bonuses are only for ELC's and 35+ contracts.

Ok. Wasn't sure. So no hidden scoring bonuses then. Heck of a deal for the team. Brown is worth every penny and much more.

The Hyman hit count has to be over 10 already lol I feel like it needs to be stickied at the top that Hymans deal bought out UFA years.

Well Brown also got ten more goals than Hyman only playing about a third of the season with Matthews as opposed to being strapped to him for every waking moment. I feel like this more than makes up for the RFA/UFA deal not to mention dishing out four years for a 25 year old rookie with terrible offensive skills just didn't make a heck of a lot of sense. I'm happy with Brown's deal and it balances out Hyman's but I think its fair to compare them.

Wow pretty condescending tone regarding a ten goal scorer getting paid more than a twenty, I think people get the RFA/UFA thing but there is pretty big difference between the players in terms of ability and upside that would give ample reason for Brown to be paid more. But keep preaching I guess...

 

[slozo]

Great deal, sounds great to me!
Love Brown, he's got a great hometown boy's enthusiasm about him, great attitude.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Brown's making about 1 million less than I thought he'd get. Hyman got about 300k more than I thought he'd get. Not a bad net positive if you ask me.
