mll Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 It's his qualifying offer but on a 1-way deal. Dermott did not have arbitration rights but will in a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've add nice elements to their team that they haven't had before, at least not since Dubas took over. If they manage to add Perry/Weegar/both, their lineup is suddenly looking fairly strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 When you've got four guys taking up roughly half of your cap space these are the kind of deals you need Not to say this deal is bad for the Leafs by any means, but there's four big reasons why Toronto has nine guys making 1m or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine a bottom line of Spezza - Thornton - Perry?? That’d be the “Expendables” line, past-their-prime pros looking to cash it, the ultimate name-drop line!! hahahahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suggests giving up cash to win. Bottom feeding teams would have paid them more just for name recognition to fans. I wouldn’t want to play against that line and they would do pretty well matching up with most 4th lines in the league. They would certainly produce well beyond their $2.1 million total price tag. 78 points total last year between them (26 points average). If they were on a line together this year they probably beat that production. Don't mistake them being well past their prime with not still being capable NHLers. Really though, it is pretty obvious they were signed for culture reasons and not just for on ice performance... much like we signed Sundin back in the day.

JeremyCuddles Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) An actual good contract that isn't some well past his prime fossil. Good job Toronto. Edited October 23, 2020 by N7Nucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... and if you ask Kesler and the Sedins, they gush about what a positive impact it was on them to play with him. I think the same idea is behind Jumbo on the Leafs. Instant respect in the locker room, and maybe their younger players will be more focussed. Heck, if they signed Perry... a little Corey Perry rubbing off on them wouldn’t hurt at all. Everyone hated playing against him but wanted him on their team. edit: I maybe could have formed the sentence better than “Corey Perry rubbing off on them”.... but either meaning could be equally accurate, so I will leave it...

The timing of the Tavares signing was suspect, especially since the team didn't have their other core pieces locked up. I don't think it's a surprise that their best playoff showings were in 2017 and 2018 as they had much more depth in their forward and defence groups compared to 2019 and 2020. They're slowly getting back to a deeper team with the moves they're making this year. Let's see if it pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
