Thread: cup year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>domi at 2.5 and bertuzzi at 3.9? good luck pal.

also, if knies is signing that, it's because he stinks. he doesn't stink, so he's getting a bigger bump than that.</div></div>

8 year deals bring them both to 37 yrs old. Its a small AAV now but if you use some foresight its not actually a bad deal. Lets say you give bertuzzi a generous 6m for the next 4 years. That’s still 6.2m shy of the guaranteed money he’d be getting from this 8yr deal. And then at 33 years old, you’re not getting many favourable contracts from there. He’s got kids now.. you think he wants to pick up and move the family every 2-3 years? Nah. This is his home. And they have the chance to something really special and go down as a Ontarian hero’s. Not to mention the economics of having their career earnings front loaded so that they can invest it. You know mlse will have no problem structuring 90% of the deal as a signing bonus. Got nothing to do with luck pal. They’ll have their choice, and they’re entitled to that, but you could verywell see a very long and surprisingly low aav here

Thread: Next year post Carlson deadline trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>The reason I think Roy isn't signable probably is he going to other options. Being from Michigan, Roy could find a home with two teams that have cap and need a RHD...Sabres and Wings
I might add Montour to the list of possible future Leafs. If Florida feel to it's best to resign Reinhart, maybe Montour becomes. a cap casualty.</div></div>

Think tre would rather add toughness and defensive skill than another puck mover. But anyway I look at this it always comes back to carlson being the best right handed shot available. And at 4m you leave yourself with enough money to sign another right handed shot like walker or carrier in FA. Thats worth parting with a stud prospect imo. Otherwise youre signing roy or pesce for 6+ and you lose bertuzzi or brodie

Thread: Next year post Carlson deadline trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Just look at your post. You spend 9m on on Carlsson and Roy. Surely the Leafs can 9m on two competent Dmen without giving up assets like Cowan and a first.
Players wanting term? Look at Tavares and Brodie...they have seemed to have declined in mid thirties. Why should the Leafs fall in that same trap cause a player wants.
Even Pesce who is some of golden boy for Leafs fans seems to have slipped. DeMelo, Walker, Seeler, Tanev would be my four choices with two being future Leafs.</div></div>

Both carlsson and roy are better than all the defencemen you just mentioned imo. I think we just value the defence position differently. I like to have a dcore that’s hard to play against, im not just looking for competent - not for a cup run
