Weird deal but if he turns out like Hyman this could be insanely good for us.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Holy shit 3yrs? Less than his QO too -- I assume he wanted to back-load.

750K per year. Glasses overpayed again.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I was expecting 1 year for that price. Getting him for 3 years has the potential to be pretty great, but even if not there's zero risk

 

[VanW27]

Lock in young players to league min(ish) deals. Makes sense, they end up as 4th liners or AHL players and it's fair value or its buried. They progress and you get a super cheap 3rd liner.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Fantastic signing. Can be buried if it doesn't work out but getting three years has the potential to be a huge steal if he develops well.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Love the term. Thought we’d be fortunate to get him signed for two years.

With this (and the Hutchinson signing out of nowhere) looks like Leafs are set for next season. Just tell us where and when NHL.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Great deal, I think he’s going to be a solid top 9 forward for us before the end of this deal.

 

[GBLeaf]

Seems like a no-lose deal really.

Four contract spots left... I wouldn't be shocked, if we added another minimum league signing or two.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Good deal. Quite pleased with this.

 

[MattySnipes]

Solid signing, greaat price. 3 years will be a solid sample to evaluate and see him grow.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I didn't know you could make a contract partially two-way. Pridham at work.

 

[Morgs]

What a great deal for us.

3 years at that AAV is insane. Johnsson deal looking better- but we still have no idea what we're getting with him.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

If the Leafs sign one more guy for the Marlies, I would say they are set.

The Marlies still have a ton of work to get a bunch of depth for the Growlers though, unless they are waiting to see if there is going to be a season.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Seems like a very strange deal but I like it for the leafs. It is a two way or one way?

Edit: i see it is a 2 way for first 2 years and 1 way for final year. Even more strange lol

 

[Antropovsky]

its not my money......so 750000 for 3 years is low risk, high reward, no matter how he plays (right?)

The minimum wages have been raised

Kaplan: The minimum salary for an NHL player will remain at $700,000 next season. It will then rise to $750,000 for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

 

[Web In Front]

You have to give Dubas credit for this offseason. Maybe no home run swing but plenty of quality at-bats including this signing. It's likely Anderson is a full time NHLer making the league minimum for at least the final two years. Kapanen trade also looks like an outright steal given better players than Kapanen are currently available as UFAs.

 

[Schenn]

3 years is a very welcome surprise

 

[ACC1224]

I didn't know you could make a contract partially two-way. Pridham at work.

Are you suggesting that this is some unknown loop hole that only Pridham is privy to?

 

[Swervin81]

That's insane. 3 years? That's an awesome deal where you honestly have to question why Anderson would even take it. It's not like it's entirely a 1 way deal - the first two years are two-ways.
