Loui 6m - 1 yr for Jamie Benn 9.5M - 5 yrs No, but I would take Lucic for an extra year and save a little this year, and get a guy who can score 10 goals and 10 assists and add some toughness for two seasons. Of course the better solution is just have Loui retire and that ain't happening either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Very likeable guy, but he’s a Leaf - so gotta hate him. Booo Spezza! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I sure hope we don't offer Edler a contract over 1.1 million... Time to move from Edler if he doesn't accept a big discount... 1 yr X 1.1 million.. Resign - Hamonic 2 yrs X 2.1 Trade -- Graves style D man 6'5, 28, 220lbs.... Trade - Scmidt -- We have Hughes, Rathbone is going to be very good soon.. Time to move Scmidt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystifyNCrucify Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The leafs model for signing their bottom six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Definitely worth that, he played hard in the playoffs and he has some jump still left in him, were Thornton on the other hand is done and if they resign him then I'll laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have made a difference in the standings. Good signing for the Leafs. Good for Spezza. That said if they try to put him on waivers again I’d claim him so fast and if he wants to retire, go ahead. No more of this free waiver transaction bullshizz for the Leafs. Nobody rides for free. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB just selected the wrong Laff waiver wire players...call a players buff if he says don't claim me or I will retire, you can't do that $&!# or if you do then go retire you whiney baby. Spezza ain't winning $&!# with the Laffs so it doesn't matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Drunken Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Makes sense, safe to say he vastly over performed this year - at least beyond some's expectations, Still has some left in the tank if they manage his ice time similarly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassbs Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 He’s a reasonable guy. Not greedy like the other privileged dipsh!!ts on that team. Plus I’m sure he must realize that even at $750k he’s still making more than any high profile doctor would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, with nearly $90M in career earnings, he probably doesn’t “need” the money at this point, if he’s been even minimally intelligent about how he spends and invests (not a guarantee with NHLers, but I’d hope Spezza is already “set for life”).

RakuRaku Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 This deal is simply obscene to me.... he's 38 and produced 30 pts out of 54 games.. in the old pre-Covid NHL.... he's worth $4M at least despite his age!! For us, we are always struggling to make the playoffs... these awesome veterans will never land on our lap.... unless it's someone with some health question mark like.... Ferland!!! *deep sigh*....

canucklehead44 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Spezza = $750k for 10 goals Eriksson + Baertschi + Roussel + Beagle + Edler + Myers = $27M for a combined 8 goals What is even worse is that we have a bunch more poor performing contracts (Sutter, Holtby, Virtanen) Edited June 20, 2021 by canucklehead44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim and his team they outperform at least 90% of their counterparts around the league. He's a hell of a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose when they you spend so much on playoff no show players, you have to do things like this. How far did the leafs make it this year? Surely their superior model got them past the first round. I mean after all the leafs have almost won the cup every year since they signed Tavares. Thats what i keep hearing anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
