    Sorry Opus..... (McCabe for Van Ryn; September 1st)

    As reported by Nik Kypreos. Deal is in place, and will be completed September 1st... after the Leafs pay McCabe $2,000,000 in signing bonuses.

    Van Ryn is a decent 2nd pairing guy (much like McCabe), however he is coming off of major surgery on both of his wrists. In all likelihood he is a noticeable downgrade from McCabe.

    McCabe has 3 years left @ 5.75 cap hit, but only 4.15 salary... likely why he appealed to the Cats.

    Meanwhile Van Ryn has two years left @ 2.9 cap hit and 3.35 salary.

    Obviously money isn't an issue in Toronto, but it's an expensive move. I'm also unsure how the signing bonus will affect the Leafs this season... but I'm pretty sure it counts as $2,000,000; which means the Leafs will be paying Van Ryn the same as they'd have paid McCabe this season, $2,000,000 less next season and nothing in the last season.
    "This year, we did what we were supposed to do. We fought as a team. We fought as a team. And the fact is, we gotta go back and go to work, to make sure we finish this next time. That's all we gotta do. This right here makes us stronger. Let's understand who we are as a team. Let's understand this right here makes us stronger." - Ray Lewis, January, 2012.

    Opus can't hear you over the sound of Leaf Nation drooling at the prospect of being in the Tavares Lotto.. and I think they have a great shot to be in it!

      Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you insult him, you'll be a mile away, and have his shoes.

        Unfortunately they have a shot at him....BUT....they sure as hell don't deserve anybody that talented. We don't call them the "Maple Laff's" for no reason here out west.

        As the old saying goes "Anytime a Toronto team loses, is a Good time!"

            Oh, he'll end up there.









            When he's 37.
            I officially retract my vote for DDS as Prime Minister. He's clearly incompetent.

                Tavares appears to be regressing as a player.....

                  They shouldn't have told him he was going to Toronto.
