Username checks out on that take.
Decent deal and easy to waive or bury if he doesn't work out.

Some teams messed up when they didn’t claim him on waivers in preseason. The guy can score goals. 21 goals in 30 AHL games last year. 20 goal pace in the NHL this year without much PP time. Not like he’s a superstar but worse players get claimed.

He's been particularly good the last while. Low cap hit, can fit in throughout the lineup. Not sure why you would want the team to move on.

You have to be dumb, def and blind to consider this an overpayment.

This is an issue in Toronto as a market, a guy gets a month of good will from fans and media and MLSE makes an emotional signing.
For a team that is cap pressed they have to stop handing bottom six forwards money. At some point you have to stop burning cap room. Leafs will pay the Bobby McMann tax next year when they have to give up a 2027 3rd for a '3 way deal' to get that 500k back in cap space on a deal when they trade for a 7th defenseman.
Good for Bobby, everyone loves him today, we'll see in month or two if he's forgotten and resented like every Bobby McMann in Toronto.
This franchise never learns.

He's on pace over a 82 game season for 20 goals, ~38 points. Yes, I know he's put up a ton of points over the last 15-20 games, and he's going to regress back down a bit, but you definitely don't get a guy that can even sniff 20 goals for 800-900K. Get real.

How can this be an overpayment?
At $1.35 he can always be buried in minors.
He is playing very well all season…

Seems awfully cheap for a guy breaking out. On pace for over 20 goals and 200 hits.
Should be noted that he had 19 goals over a 20 game stretch last year in the A.

This is is a contract that at worst can be buried in the minors next season, and a best he continues what he's currently doing and this contract is a bargain.
There is no downside to this.

Hfboards... They spend their lives in Leafs threads and care about hating this team more than liking theirs. Some even have usernames about the Leafs. Think how sad that is.

I am embarrassed to be a Leaf fan when I read comments like this. Once given a spot in the lineup he's been very good. He def would have gotten more in FA. I feel like the same fans lament players like Verhaeghe, Marchment, Trevor Moore, etc. but then complain when we do keep the player.

If he continued to play like he has for the rest of the season then it's fine. If this is just a flash in the pan, then it is a stupid contract for a spot that could be taken up by a regular bottom 6 player on $900k. Especially for a team who need to make use of every dollar next year.

He can also drive play at a decent level, can forecheck and is decent defensively
He's what you want in a bottom 6 player. If he can score 10-20 goals he'll be an excellent third-liner

Yeah that should be able to be buried with no cap hit once the cap goes up next year. I think the max that can be buried is around 1.1 this year.
Worst case you play McMann 70ish games a year and you play Reaves the other 12, or just bury Reaves.
??? He’s 28 years old and had a great week.
Outside of that week He has 3 goals in 45ish games this year and was a healthy scratch in Feb.
Having him as our 3rd line LW is pretty dicey
That lineup has virtually no bottom 6 scoring
