Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Patrick Marleau - 3 years, $6.25M AAV (part 2)

[stamkos]

Lol part 2 already

 

[WilliamNylander]

And those 35+ contracts that provide ZERO relief in the case of a buyout or retirement.

If he retires in Arizona we won't get any of the cap hit.

 

[Paradoc]

Dominic Moore. Ron Hainsey. Old man Marleau.

Where. Show me where are the improvments. These moves are just histarical.

You just listed them. Add another year of experience for the 7 rookies we had and you got a good team going forward.

marleau scored 7 more goals last year than anyone on your entire team.

 

[Ducks in a row]

[]Going to Arizona in year 3 of that deal. Then he retires.[/b]

Then we get more tears about Loophole Lou and his magic.

If he has no cup by then why would he be willing to do that?

not as hysterical as your spelling

 

[CanadiensforLife]

Way too much money per for a declining 37-year-old. As a Habs fan, I'm happy about that.

 

[karnige]

There’s no risk. His contract is insanely moveable for the third year. You have no idea what you’re talking about, sorry.

You guys thought we were near the cap before, we just used extra cap space to get an extra asset. That’s all.

how? its AAV....... he'll be 41..... with a NMC

[canwincup]

I think it was more the extra 10 million.

Yeah but that third year along with the NMC is what makes this brutal.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

This deal is fine. Marleau is super fast and still has great hands. They're not asking him to play 20+ minutes out there. He'll help on the powerplay, relieve pressure off Hyman and JVR/Marner and just give them another in a huge arsenal of threats.

They'll likely part ways in year three, and in the meantime, will have added some veteran knowledge to the lineup.

Cogent deal by Lamoriello...

Right? We just made the playoffs. From what I recall, that’s all you need to do to get a shot at the cup.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Well it's no Milan Lucic.

Lucic contract is probably better than Marleau at 38 for three years of 6.25.

Dominic Moore. Ron Hainsey. Old man Marleau.

Where. Show me where are the improvments. These moves are just historical.

Yeah, It could go down in history as a great move!

 

[PKWeber]

LMAO congrats Toronto you played yourself. I thought the Leafs had the best management lol some things never change

 

[TMLife*]

how? its AAV....... he'll be 41..... with a NMC

Trust me, it’s very very moveable. Your ignorance is showing, be careful.

 

[Clark4Ever]

It's an overpayment without question, but management has put the team in a position to absorb the AAV on a short term.

The only thing that isn't questionable in my opinion is that the Leafs are a better team now than they were yesterday.

 

[Leafidelity]

Lucic contract is probably better than Marleau at 38 for three years of 6.25.

You think 8 years term is better than 3?

 

[zeke]

Way too much money per for a declining 37-year-old. As a Habs fan, I'm happy about that.

you were upset when the habs re-signed Markov too, i gather?

 

[clownshoes]

Crazy. Wonder if they're more inclined to trade jvr now. Also, how are they going to afford all the soon to be RFAs? Mathews, marner and nylander?

Cogent deal by Lamoriello...

only way hes not getting his cash is if he retires and he isn't leaving 6.25 on the table

 

[Khabby]

not as hysterical as your spelling

He tired to quick edit when he said Historical. Not quick enough to save face though...

 

[TheDoldrums]

Lol part 2 already

Haha, yep

 

[TML23]

how? its AAV....... he'll be 41..... with a NMC

Yes. There have been no other 35+ NMC players that got moved to salary floor teams.

Oh wait....

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

classic senile contract from lamo.

just awful.
