How has Zaitsev been for Toronto?

Really solid. Great pick up. If they get him for 7 years id be shocked tho.

His agent is either really dumb or he's getting paid.

 

[Kave_Man]

I'm guessing Zaitsev is giving up money for the long term contract?

Friedman just tweeted he thinks somewhere around 4.5 AAV

 

[Marvie_3]

I have tickets for a meaningful Blues / Predators game this Sunday afternoon. I sorta hate going to afternoon games, and the Cards home opener (vs Cubs) is a couple blocks away that evening, so it'll be a zoo downtown all day.

Should I ..

A) Go b/c it's a huge game and it's only traffic
B) Sell, be a bad fan, watch on TV
C) Fuck it, grab tickets for the Cards game too, and totally jack up my Monday

Obviously its C

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

What a great Preds PP

Spoiler

this is sarcasm

Fuckkk off tomato pyattt ye cunt

Perry looks so much better now than he did earlier in the season

He's 25 years old and getting a 7 year contract after one season in the NHL. How is that dumb?

 

[ElephantShell]

4.5 would be a great number for 25-28 year old Zaitsev. 29-32 year old Zaitsev though who knows.

If it's for 7 years he is most likely giving a discount to the leafs.

If I was him I'd take a 2-3 year deal and then get paid real money after the bridge contract. Based on how valuable defense is right now.

He is only 25. He doesn't need a 7 year contract right now.

Hes a lot better then a lot of people give him credit for.

You're acting like he's 21 years old coming out of an ELC. Getting term after 1 year is a great move.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

This game is boring

 

[Cake Boss]

Wouldn't surprise me if this shit team misses.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Now would be a good time for another one of those Arvidsson shorties

edit: for fucks sake

Matthews wants his 40 goals

Someone, somewhere, give this team some fucking help because they're sure as hell putting up their end of the deal.

He's still young. He'll be in his prime for the next 7 years.

I just think he would get a lot more on the open market if he played his cards right.

Don't get me wrong tho, I'd love the leafs to sign him for 7 years. I'd be great.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Pacioretty!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

35 for Patches. 5 empty nets to 40

Senators 'hold my beer'

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Bought tickets on a whim for the game tonight. Good call so far!

Really wanted to see Norrisson in person though. That was a bummer.

 

[Simon Belmont]

A little late, but MATTTTTTHHHHHHEEEEEWWWWWSSSS!

 

[megachao24]

Bruins tried to gouge out McKenzie's eye.

 

[Zombie James]

If the Leafs can lock up Zaitsev that'd be huge. Love his game.

How are we going to hold all these #3 defensemen?

Late but...

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTON MATTHEWROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS

You're shifting the goal posts. Point is this isn't a dumb move.

And of course he would get more in the open market. At least AAV, maybe not term. That's always how it works.

 

[Socreges]

Goddamn McDavid is good

 

[Quick]

7-year deal for Zaitsev for $4.5m AAV is solid on the Leafs' end. I'm more curious about the other details, like NMC/NTC, if he's getting one.

If he gets an NMC/NTC he's laughing. Can't imagine they'd give him that.
