No idea to be honest. I’m only repeating what guys like Burkie say.

I’m not 100% either but I read 15 on bonus money at 1 time...I’m not sure if they then pay tax on it in their home state.

Hoffman to the Habs.

Is there a player in recent memory who has put up so many points while getting paid so little year over year?

It would be awesome if we didnt

High $3’s for Foligno? Thanks for coming out and buh bye
- Canada Cup

I hope he runs over the leafs.
Should be fun

Wings had Biega. Works hard. Not good enough to replace Dermott or even Liljegren though.

So who cares then

That would be a pipe dream. You seriously think a guy who fetched a first round pick at the prior trade deadline would sign for 2 years and 4 million on the open market?

The first was so we could get him at $1.25M

In summary

An updated list of players #Leafs acquired today:

- G Petr Mrazek (3yr, $11.4M) - Yeesh thought it would come cheaper.
- F Michael Bunting (2yr, $1.9M) - Good deal all day. Bury him if he sucks
- F Kurtis Gabriel (1yr, $750K) - No idea who this is.
- F David Kampf (2yr, $3M) - I like it if he is a good defensive centre.
- F Michael Amadio (1yr, $750K) No idea again.
- D Alex Biega - No idea really.
- D Carl Dahlstrom - I should watch more of other teams.
- F Josh Ho-Sang (PTO) - Probably doesn't go anywhere.

I still wouldn't mind Ritchie if we can get him.

Impressive IMO. These are all quality players.

Kyle Dubas, boys and girls.

On a high note Button says we don’t make the playoffs this year. Sounds like a first place finish coming up.

We are gonna get a (frank) ton of assets when we trade Marner/Matthews/Nylander at 50% retained.

Every gm that has ever worked in media says the tax system that some teams operate under plays a part in where players sign and for how much.

And they also say every player has all the Canadian teams on their no trade lists.

But some HB tax experts say none of that is true. Who should we believe?

I’m shocked at how uninformed this take is-
1. Players in Canada can set up a Retirement Compensation Agreement (RCA) and limit their tax liability to a flat 20%. With sound tax advisors, a NHL player can actually pay the same or less tax in Canada than he will Florida or Vegas.

I'm not sure I can trust a guy who says "A NHL player"

He would’ve gone for something close to that, regardless.

I dont have a popular opinion, but I dont care. I would trade Mathews in a heart beat. If Arizona is still a thing after his deal, they will be singing the coming home song for sure.

Kyle Dubas, boys and girls.

If this was the list of players that montreal or vancouver had signed, all leafs fans on here would be laughing

What a random grab bag of players we nabbed today.

Ho-Sang the best of the bunch, IMO. I think that kid has a chance to produce in a top 9 role for us.
- gravyface

Ho-Sang can't produce in the AHL or SHL at 25.

Good post SS. Fu3king finally.

I just watched Kyle on tsn. He’s such a babe, I’m in love.

I swear every 3 months this place devolves into H&R Blockbuzz

What's going on with David Krejci?

- Fakepartofme

Why? The leafs already have their core players. I dont get how people wanted the leafs to drastically change their team. Arguably they have had a true window for 2 years? Let's just toss everyone out and tank every 5 years!
