Dreger: Muzzin and the Leafs getting close to an extension

[AvatarAang]

Pietrangelo is not coming to Toronto. He's staying in STL, like literally just won a cup with them.

Is Pietrangelo a realistic option? Will he leave STL? Also, Muzzin will be cheaper and the leafs can’t keep giving out huge contracts.

Why hasn't Pietrangelo re-signed with the Blues yet?

Perhaps it's the same reason Tavares refused to re-up with the Islanders

Muzzin will be cheaper because he's an inferior player

Giving out big contracts isn't the problem, it's having average NHL players on the roster making 3 - 5 million

Leafs would be better served landing big fish, and then surrounding them with vets and young players making the league minimum

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

Get 7 years or did not want to sign for 7 years, big difference there.

In fairness, Matthews wanted 7 or 8 years, he just wasn't going to give a team discount. Something like 14.5 per is what the ask was according to reports.

People said the same thing about Kawhi Leonard

 

[Paris in Flames]

Happy to be keeping the player.

Hopefully I'm happy with the contract too.

It appears Muzzin is not interested in roasting the Leafs over charcoal. That's good news. I'll say 5 X 6.75.

 

[capfit9]

I would rather have a younger version of Muzzin .....Joel Edmundson is an UFA

Oh good it's phaneuf all over again.

Either short term. Or small AAV. Help me lord if he gets a fat contract.

Keeping Muzzin might prevent them from signing Pietrangelo this summer

If Pietrangelo is a legit option for the Leafs, they can make moves to accommodate whatever cap hit he wants.

You see those last two bars? That's the thing the Leafs need most

Dubas on Lou:

"If you have time, use it".

Dubas today:

"We have to sign all these guys now, today!"

???

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I said it in the previous thread, but I'll repeat myself since my first message obviously didn't reach the higher-ups over at MLSE

Muzzin is the type of player that you thank for his service, and then wish him well in free agency

Why do you continue to choose to be wrong

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Eye Test ?

You're telling me you've watched the 1000s of minutes each guy has played this year?

 

[dubey]

ATTENTION:

This will be an overpayment.

It is DUMBAS after all.

Learn that one on the playground?

There is a certain logic to knowing where you stand with your players before the deadline.

no one knows. Bob mckenzie out of nowhere multiple times brought up Petro to the leafs in the summer in the beginning of the year.

He hasn’t to my knowledge since.... so I don’t know what changed there.


Andy Strickland was on tsn radio today and said it’s “anyone’s guess”. He said 2 things were the sticking points


1.) term. He said GM wont do 8 years.
2.) GM doesn’t believe in signing bonuses. He said the owner won’t want to pay big Front loaded SB. He then mentioned Schenn and o Reilly who were traded for with them. Which is an issue.

He mentioned Petro having to decide if he wants a statue and sign for 5-6 years for josi-ish money.

Or get a couple more years and front loaded SB

[General Disarray]

As a pretty avid blues fan. This is news to me, of which most of it doesn’t make any sense considering our ownership groups willingness to give Army the green light to spend whatever and the recent signings of Faulk and Schenn in which they received very good term. I’d be willing to bet Army is offering the captain and arguably our best player 8 years.

In terms of Muzzin I’d imagine it’s around 6m AAV

1.) for Petro Strickland was on colaiacovo radio show this morning. It’s what he said.

2.) mckenzie said 4 yrs with something starting with a 5.... we will see

I’m not trying to say it’s wrong or hopeful. It just has to be a very new piece of information and it probsvly is most likely speculation. I can see AAV being an issue for Armstrong as he is usually a prettt staunch negotiator and has said before we’d pay a superstar but I don’t know if we have any of those types of players. Term on the other hand with the most recent signings seems more like outside speculation given the most recent signings.

Paying UFA years is the last thing I wanted the Leafs to do but they really shot themselves in the foot by not getting competent defense.

 

[kilowatt]

5 x 5.5 sounds reasonable.
