4 years for thornton and spezza is brutal

Just Burry them

i'd do 1 year for 'em both MAX

You don't give 4 years to a 38 and 40 year old. Petro will ask for at least $9,500,000.

2 years max for spezza and Thornton 1 year is enough

Hitler believed that he could win the war with costly super-weapons. Result: Lost the war.

Okay, so Toronto has a problem: It has elite offence. But questionable defence. So there are 2 solutions.

1. you could sign hardworking, reasonably priced defencemen and build 3 solid defence pairings

OR

2. you could sign 1 SUPER DEFENCE MAN who never gets scored on, scores more than Ovechkin, and is on the ice for 60 minutes a game. I think we all know who we are talking about . . .

ALEX. Pietrangelo.

Why does Toronto believes that hyper-costly "super-players" (e.g. Auston Matthews, Tavares, Mitch Marner, Nylander) will get it past the first round of the playoffs?? Has not happened yet (and not likely to ever happen).

Your comparison is quite a stretch lol.
But Pietrangelo would be a great signing for the leafs. I just wouldn't give him more than 8 mil for 5 years.
