It's too much money for Martin but still not as bad as I expected.

I don't even think it's too much money. He's mostly a plug but he's the best in the league at one thing and players like that get a small premium.

At least the magnitude of the deal is small, but between him and Komarov the Leafs gonna have an expensive and unmovable fourth line.

Now go get a defenseman and trick someone into taking both Abdelkader and Howard, Ken.

Do it you rat gently caress.

Good flyer to take on a guy with little downside. If he doesn't work out you just eat the cost and move on.

To the Toronto fans who are like, "Oh that's not too bad." in regards to the Martin contract.

Hi, we're Canucks fans, meet Derek Dorsett and his contract. It's that bad.

Except signing Vanek basically ensures another year of humping the bubble and being a buyer instead of a seller like a goddamn moron

also not a free agent since he's not a player, but i figure it fits the spirit of the thread since it's is all about signings and extensions

Yep, Shanny and Lou gotta sign their role players.

Cap isn't even the issue with the Leafs, it's roster spots. Martin's going to be playing in a spot that should be going to someone better.

Detroit has a total logjam up front (of competent but not great players) so maybe they're orchestrating a trade for a defenseman or two.

Just kidding Holland doesn't trade roster players.

Actually more likely that Larkin stays on the wing, Frans is 2C, and Nyquist and Tatar get another half year of 3rd line minutes while everyone wonders why they aren't producing
