Nice, Ek says Tavares to the Leafs is done. I wonder when he signs his SJS or BOS contract.

I am actually a time traveler. My machine is broken though and only travels forward in time. TAVARES will be a Maple Leaf. Remember, you heard it from me first.

Perfect. $11,035,000.00 would have (frank)ed up his tax situation.

You're right - Tavares did take a hometown discount because he wanted to win here.

Signing bonuses are paid July 1st, correct? He became a much richer man today, his investment advisor can easily get a 20% return on fairly conservative investments right now, maybe much more if he's willing to take a few risks. He knew what he was doing.

That makes goo

And then you still have Kadri, Brown, etc following

Y'all keep downplaying Brown. Brown is chocolatey goodness.

20% is high for a conservative investment but i get what you're saying he's not gonna have to worry about money for a while. If they can get the other guys signed before the next lockout they can probably get pretty creative in order to keep the cap hits relatively low.

It's not in 2018 - the economy is booming right now. It would have been a few years back. Guys like Tavares get opportunities that common folk like us don't, which you have to factor in.

I'll admit I giggled a little when I read the terms, it's just so clever to get it all up front. No escrow on the majority of his salary, the $925K he's getting paid is pocket money. Hell, the exchange on that can give him a high flying lifestyle with access to whatever he wants. When Leafs brass presented him with the offer he was probably going 'Wait a minute, we can do that?'

Some guy in the oilers thread was trying to bet that the Leafs were gonna miss the playoffs this year. A bunch of guys tried to get him to put his account on the line. He backed off pretty quick

You think Bozzie was overpaid on St louis? Marginal raise he got.

Even JVR, everyone thought he'd be getting 7mil.

The only reason I’m pissed off you guys signed JT is that it makes the islanders worse and now the Wings have more competition to tank for Hughes. Anyway, if he brings a cup to Toronto he will be immortal along with Babs and hailed as gods. Don’t blame them for taking the cash/opportunity. Cheers to you guys.

We were all hoping that little wiener would take the bet and we could get rid of him and his 40+ alts.
