Confirmed with Link: TOR extends Alex Kerfoot. 4 years, 3.5M AAV

[Marshy]

Surprised we gave him more than Johnsson and Kappy but oh well.

Center tax.

 

[MyBudJT]

This seemingly pushes the projected space for Mitch Marner down to 9.5M.

Assuming Ceci gets 4.5M.


With this deal being the term it is, I wonder if a 3x2 or 3x3 deal for Ceci makes more sense, to bring our room back to 10.5-11M for Marner

Either Ceci signs for less, or we run with a 22 man roster IMO. I'll be plesently surprised if Marner signs for < 10.

 

[Eye Test]

I thought something might be afoot. Nothing to get into a kerfuffle about here....fair deal for Alex.

There’s the door.

Do we get any relief to start the season with Hyman and Dermott injured?
That's almost 3 million for maybe a month or two.

 

[Notsince67]

Obligatory

"OH NOES HOW WILL THEY FIT MARNER!?!?!?!?"

I guess Ceci has to go. Hardly knew him

No, assuming they are on regular IR.

 

[Nineteen67]

Pretty good deal for the Leafs for a 3rd line C.

Colour me impressed by Dubas.

 

[Trapper]

No, assuming they are on regular IR.

Well then pull out the Aho contract and let Marner take a good look at it.
We may have to give him a short term deal but retain RFA status. 2 years at 8.5.

 

[SprDaVE]

A little surprising they went 4 years but it's a pretty fair deal considering his production and term. I thought they would have went with the 1 year deal to keep his cap hit a bit cheaper.

Either way, it's another mid-level player signed for a few years.

Dubas clearly doesn’t want to deal with the contracts of our forwards for the next 3 years

Personally I'm switching my concern trolling to the Ceci contract.

Makes me think Marner might be willing to sign a bridge

 

[Mess]

Leafs save $1 mil AAV per season on Nazem Kadri as their 3rd line C.

 

[Cor]

Either Ceci signs for less, or we run with a 22 man roster IMO. I'll be plesently surprised if Marner signs for < 10.

I think he’ll be signing for less than you think he will.

 

[Peasy]

Good to see that if Marner wants to play for the leafs it's unlikely he makes over 10m.

 

[thewave]

Seems fair, good deal, good job Dubas

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Surprised we gave him more than Johnsson and Kappy but oh well.

I mean he did have a better track record (2 40+ seasons) while also being able to play center.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Surprised we gave him more than Johnsson and Kappy but oh well.

It's buying at least one UFA year, maybe two?

 

[RomanianLeafs]

I am OK with this

 

[Anthrax442]

I bet it's also frontloaded to the eyeballs

 

[crump]

Makes me think Marner might be willing to sign a bridge

Considering there was no rush to do this, either a framework is agreed on for Marner, or it's a big power move by Dubas.

 

[4thline]

Assuming Marner for 10 and Moore as 3LW that's a ~52.7m top 9 locked in for the next two years. Throw in Rielly and Andy locked in at 5 per and that's 62.7. Backup goalie, 6-7D, F10-14 all at 750 to 1m = 6-8m, call it 7. 2.5% cap increase next season to 85.5.
15.6 for 2-3-4-5 d-men. Getting Dermott on a good number and having both Liljgren and Sandin ready will be huge for us.

I still feel like they might have to move on from at least one of Kerfoot, Johnsson, Kapanen or maybe even Hyman at some point in the next 2 years, maybe as early as next off-season... but it's really good so far. The majority of the lineup is locked up and the window to compete is a lot more clear now.

 

[MSZ]

Dubas has been masterrful this past week.

Agreed

 

[dubplatepressure]

Fair price. Don’t like the term.

Fair price, fair term.
