Totally signing in Toronto on a discount.

Let’s not get carried away here. That’s crazy talk.

You could argue both he and Domi already did that

I meant McDavid yea I agree done deal

Sounds like a way to lower the cap hit the first year for a cap strapped team with a handshake on a longer extension. Sort of like what Labanc agreed to.

Yep that’s called cap circumvention

Yep that’s called cap circumvention

Breaking news, signing players to a 1 year deal is cap circumvention

You don't know what cap circumvention is

While the leafs have done cap circumvention in the past, this is definitely not one of them.

Holl was last year's shi*ting on player, this year will be bertuzzi.

Come on now...we've been piling on Holl for way longer than just last year.

 

[Gruyeriev]

Don’t they need more solid dmen instead?

When in doubt get another forward?

 

[LeafsNation149]

If he's not in and out constantly due to injury he should do better then Bunting. But Hyman, idk he was a pretty solid player for us.

I set the bar somewhere between them and remember Hyman did more for us then his point total indicates

You have to remember, Hyman was only good during his final year with us. Before then, he was a whipping boy

They haven't though, cap circumvention is illegal, name the rule they have broken since they became good, you won't be able to because this mystery rule doesn't exist.

I hope they'll extend him for 8 years and 80 million.
