leafs doofs called Tanev injury prone 6 years ago … and now they get him for the next 6 years

With a no move … does no move mean dont move him cause u might inflict more bodily damage?

Frank has a long tweet about signing guys yo longer term deals to lower the AAV - Here, I'll save you a click.


Two contract housekeeping items, since there is a lot of buzz today.

1. If "fake years" are added to a player's contract in his mid-30s as a method to suppress AAV and/or entice a signature with additional total dollars, #NHL will monitor and pursue later if proven as means of cap circumvention.Example: If #Leafs want to offer Tanev 6 years x $4 million, and the goal (

) is to only play three years and spend the last two or three on LTIR (

), well then, that won't be looked upon fondly later. We've been through this once before, hence the 35+ contract rule. Out of the 924 players in the #NHL this season, only one (Mark Giordano) played as a 40-year-old this season. He's also a little bit of a different case, won a Norris Trophy at age 35. No one could honestly think that signing Tanev to a deal that stretches into his 40-year-old season would be a deal on the up-and-up.

2. It is expressly prohibited in the CBA for a free agent to agree to a post-contract arrangement for services, say as a team ambassador or in player development, as a way of working outside of the salary cap. That type of deal is outlawed and the #NHL would very likely also consider that circumvention.

1) Leafs probably hope to get 4 years out of Tanev. It’s a stretch but that’s probably the goal.

2) I’m pretty sure if you inspected the guy’s body today a rational doctor can make a case for Tanev to never play another shift lol

So yeah not too concerned, Frank should get back to fighting with Canucks fans.

The Devils mean business - I'm reading they're signing Brendan Dillon as well.

Last I saw him it looked like he had a botched amputation on his hand.

Herb Brooks: The hand is a long way from the heart (or was it the leg?!?)
