This is market value so I don’t see an issue with it. All of Tre signing have been either great or a slight overpayment but nothing egregious this year.

Apart from Skeji/Montour, he was next best option for what the leafs actually need unless people were blind to see we needed another legitimate puck mover back there.

so the leafs are paying $7m for their third pairing?

Why are we upset with this signing. We just got a fairly solid dman who was +10 on the season averaging 18 mins a game. I’m way more upset about the Liligren deal than I am this

3.5 mill is market value for how he played with florida so i really don’t get the hate here.

Reddit can make a basic depth signing the end of the world!

This seems like a fine deal. Not a steal or a bargain by any means, but Pretty much market value for a decent defender.
OEL got a lot of hate when he was in his big ticket, but he was never reallly bad, just overpaid by a lot. This is more in line with what he should be making and he will certainly help a pretty thin D corps.

This isn’t that bad all things considered. I don’t think the D is great but it’ll certainly be better than last year which is something.

Question for everyone: would you rather OEL or Edmunsson at 4 years x $3.8 because joel just signed that for LA

Man, some people just finding reasons to complain. OEL was solid in Florida, hopefully that continues in Toronto. Fair deal, not a huge cap hit.

Love this signing.
Seems like most of this sub is still following the Dubas mantra of “get the best player available”, but I much prefer actually analyzing the team and filling in glaring holes.

OEL will do well in Toronto.
The medical staff will make sure they can get the most out of him.
Toronto loves their Swedes.
He should have fun playing with a powerful offence.

If you liked GM Who Overpays Star Players you’ll love GM Who Overpays Everyone.
I find it crazy that with his buyout he is making 6m this year, and 8m the next two years lol.
Surprised we couldn’t get it lower with that extra cash coming in, but 3.5 isn’t bad no matter where he plays in the lineup.
I’m actually loving Brad right now. Very smart signings all around. If only he could get rid of Marner this could be a perfect offseason.
please let him return to pre-extension Yotes form.
Uh oh stinky
Cheaper than I expected tbh
This looks bad now and may look even worse depending on what Matt Roy ends up getting.
Edit: Elliotte has Roy to Washington at 6×5.75. Maybe Roy wasn’t interested in coming to Toronto, but I’d much prefer him on his new deal to OEL.
Man would have loved this deal at 1 million less
Well, Treliving is certainly putting his stamp on the team this off-season.
Let’s hope it works out.
Same team with OEL and Tanev and a different goalie. Unreal.
