But what will we talk about now

 

[SprDaVE]

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

 

[Leafs at Knight]

There's your birthday present Daisy !

 

[Kubus]

But what will we talk about now

How he will be a bust and want to go home to Phoenix as soon as he can

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hahahahahahaha awesome

 

[Schenn]

Guess he didn't like the amounts the KHL was offering.

 

[Daisy Jane]

There's your birthday present Daisy !

I tell you guys every year, and you doubt me.
Leaf things happen on my birthday.

this isn't a defenseman though.

but if this shuts everyone up about "he should be signed, what is lou doing?!" i'll gladly bypass the defenseman.

 

[Gallagbi]

And exhale.

 

[Rayzorexe]

The wait is over!

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Hahahahaha

 

[Cor]

hahhahaah

This is the best.

Lou was certainly balking. Balking so much he signed him the next day

 

[Mad Brills*]

It will be interesting to see which side caved.

But that's only for what happens on july 1 2018 and beyond....

 

[Iamtheliquor*]

guess that article from earlier really got to Lou

For the record, in two threads I told everyone this happened this morning but I think my post were deleted or something, unless i just cant find them now. but that's cool!

 

[Ramboshaw]

But! But! But! What will the trolls talk about now?!

 

[Cor]

BTW Matthews got MAX Bonuses and MAX Salaries.

 

[Daisy Jane]

hahhahaah

Silly. Lou opened the Star, read what it said and went
"I've been remiss!"

and went to call Matthew's people.

 

[Mad Brills*]

BTW Matthews got MAX Bonuses and MAX Salaries.

So Lou caved.

That's better than matthews not caving.

 

[Rob Brown]

What will fans of other teams on these boards make fun of us for now?!

 

[Alerion]

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha

The timing is perfect, I hope they deliberately trolled The Star with this signing.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Again, I think he's getting a 7-8 year deal in 2018.

 

[Daisy Jane]

BTW Matthews got MAX Bonuses and MAX Salaries.

it's like. (gasp). Lou knew what he was doing.

 

[Cor]

So Lou caved.

That's better than matthews not caving.

OR

Contracts take time to fully work out. He isn't even 4 weeks removed from being drafted. Add in the week of free agency prep, and another week of free agency and other moves, and the Leafs were likely only focused on Matthews ELC for the past 2 weeks.


But sure, there was this big war and Lou finally caved.

Right
