PhillipBlunt Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 He did pretty well in the playoffs for Toronto. I'm surprised he signed for so little. I guess when you state publicly that you'll retire if you don't stay with your preferred team, you lose a lot of bargaining leverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKSR Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 He's actually good value at $750k ...I'd say he's better value than Marner, or Matthews, or Tavares... LOL! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Great fit for all parties involved. He is one of the few Leafs I can cheer for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fanuck Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 Outperforms essentially everyone on the team except Nylander in the post season and gets rewarded with a minimum contract lol.... Marner/Matthews should be embarrassed.... 1 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Judging by the quickness of this signing, Spezza indicated to the leafs that he would sign for league minimum and it was a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 750K is a steal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Canucks should have claimed him last year. If he retired, so be it. He could have helped us, and not helped them. Might have made a difference in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 Wish Edler would consider doing something like this. Edler is about the same age now as Spezza was when he signed that first (2019-20) 35+ contract at 700K with the Leafs. Would love to see us doing a series of league minimum one year deals with Edler, for as long as he wants to play. (Not that I’d blame Edler or his agent for trying to get something closer to his actual worth, just would be nice to have a similar level bargain deal, for Edler, as what the Leafs have managed with Spezza.) 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting something in the 2-2.5M range, with full NMC. Still a good discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult returning to a locker room, where you were the top dog (and paid like it) and taking a lot less of a role and money. Spezza went to a new room last season. Edler could do this with us, but I highly doubt it. He's way more likely to take that kind of deal on a new team, where he is not established as the guy.

Edler is an old dog and he is no longer the guy on our D, so we should offer him no more than 1m. Other veterans sign for league minimum why can't Edler sign for 1m, did he hangout with Kassian, O'Brien, Virtanen etc throughout his career and burn through the 55m he has made already. Sorry but Edler has made 55m, he has tons of cash, if you want to stay you sign for 1m or less and that is it, oh and no NMC or full NTC either 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying Edler, like almost every player, is super competitive, and will find it difficult to return to a room where he was being paid like 'the guy'. It would be far more likely he takes a deal like that on a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 We just paid edler 6 million for this year. If anything he owes the canucks money back. 725k max id offer him 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also allows him to be that veteran player that younger guys can talk to, he is very soft spoken to me and I would never put a C on the guy but he likely is well respected by everyone in that dressing room AND that is what should matter most not his cap hit...If they looked down on him he can open up his bank account on his phone, cheque his balance and have a good chuckle...the guy is set for life and then some!! He is playing cause he loves the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he cares at all about the money. just having fun. Loui should go do this for Dallas next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have made a difference in the standings. These good old Ontario boys are starting a scary precedent for the rest of the league. Don't see them flocking to Vegas, NYI, COL, CAR, BOS, or TB...did see one go to MTL but it was Perry's only choice. Spezza is idolized and loved in TO's locker room, can see why he says it's either there or nowhere else, it's not VAN or any other teams fault that we don't have a pipeline like that, just the few BC boys around i suppose, maybe E Kane will want to come here or Lucic lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
