What a beauty.

 

[IPS]

Sounds like a bargain to me.

 

[29Potvin]

Can't wait for people to say they wanted him at 1.1 or 1.25 at max

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Thank you Brad! Let's goooooo! You have to love rewarding a guy that plays with this effort level. Heart and soul guys that bust their ass and play a hard role of putting their body out there. Lucky it fell into our lap and we didn't have to trade for it

 

[budzz]

Nice bit of business there.

 

[disgruntleddave]

Great bit of business. Great term great money.

Signing guys like benoit and McMann at the right time could pay huge dividends for us, our cap, etc.

 

[cyris]

Good signing. Cheap and decent term.

 

[TMLeafer]

Heck yeah!!

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Yeah, with the cap going up that extra .35 is fine. Looking at what Schenn got and then seeing that number...that makes me smile.

This is the beginning of the "New" Leafs. You can see the Skelton of the new team.

Trev was smart enough to know "we need defencemen that can protect our goalies"...Benoit's part of that.

 

[budzz]

Brad likes dmen that are burly and surly. Refreshing.

 

[Bomber0104]

Great term, massive upside to outplay the hit.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

3 more years of that mustache is worth it alone

 

[Revolt]

Solid deal.

 

[Knies iT]

Great deal. Tidy business by Tre getting 3 years for Benoit and 2 years for McMann.

Even if he plateaus, you're locking up a mean bottom pair PKer for 3 years of his prime. 50% of what Boston is paying Peeke for a similar impact.

 

[ULF_55]

Another to-do done.

 

[Schenn]

Don't mind this at all. 3 years could be a real bargain if he progresses even more.

 

[Anthrax442]

Love it. Benny earned every penny .

 

[hamzarocks]

Can't wait for people to say they wanted him at 1.1 or 1.25 at max

I wanted him at 1.3499 max...

Another overpay

 

[MSZ]

Nice signing

Age 29 he could hit a homerun contract if he continues to improve.

 

[wired14]

Great bottom pairing D-man. Makes the odd mistake but nobody works harder to get back and make up for it. I love it.

 

[TheScandal89]

Not bad for 3 years, just has to keep playing his game and not over complicate and he should be worth it and then some

cute doggo.
