[hockeykicker]

wow,

 

[Marlo Stanfield]

We paid Chimera 2.25 for two years.

I'd rather have paid Martin this and kept him instead personally.

 

[Unbiased]

**** why even bother honestly

 

[radicalcenter]

wanted him in Mtl, but wow this is a lot of money

 

[LV*]

Nice. I like it tbh.

Always been a big fan of Matt Martin and 2.5M is very reasonable, would have been happy with 3 even.

 

[holden57]

why, Toronto, why?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Nice payday for Matty

 

[c3z4r]

Pretty high price tbh.

 

[TehDoak]

But how much extra will he make in ENDORSEMENTS?

 

[Marlander93]

Love the deal. Welcome to the team!

 

[Finnish your Czech]

This contract will be bought out after year 2 or 3. **** you Lou

LOL

You know this guy was just saving this one for some $100MM overpayment

 

[AuraSphere]

Ugh.. don't like the cap hit or term

 

[Del Preston]

He got the Prust contract.

 

[Schenn]

Whyyyyyy

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Hope that's it for the Leafs. Don't mind that at all. Would prefer 2-3 years but easily movable if he's still decent by the end.

 

[JS91]

Maybe a bit high AAV but he is one of the best 4th liners in the league. Don't think Toronto is going to run into any cap problems in the next 4 years so it's fine.

 

[Jack Bourdain]

AHL players making 2.5M these days. Nice.

 

[Belieber]

Perfectly fine deal, entertaining player!

 

[93gilmour93]

He will be a fan favorite pretty quick in toronto.

 

[nabob]

Finger, Clarkson and now Matt Martin. So crazy how all the big name UFAs always choose Toronto.

 

[Scrobble]

I thought the Leafs management was supposed to be good now....

Well I guess Lou hasn't been any good since the 04-05 lockout.

 

[KGL]

Hate it. Two years and $.5M too much.

He's good defensively, great shot suppression, and of course he has intangibles rolleyes, but he's a fourth line guy and that's way too much for a fourth line guy.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

$2.5M is decent, maybe "overpaid" by about 500K.

Some were throwing around 3-4M a few hours ago, which would've been ridiculous
