<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PittsburghBob69</b></div><div>I guess you guys will find out next week after his arbitration hearing. I believe it’s next week. You can google what date was set. Toronto’s offer sheet for Dermott was 895k. I doubt he nickels and dimes them to 1M. He’ll just sign it, he has no leverage. He can’t sign anywhere else unless someone offers him and hes not arbitration eligible. And if he gets offered 1.395M or above from another team, Toronto let’s him walk and takes the 3rd round pick compensation.</div></div>

895 to 1 million is about 13%. I wouldn't call that nickel and diming. If he made 5 mil that's about the difference between 5 mil and 5.65 mil

Or for us non athlete plebes the difference between say 60 thousand a year and 67.5 thousand or so. Doesn't sound like nickel and diming to me.

If they were arguing between 4.895 and 5 million it's a different story

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PittsburghBob69</b></div><div>I like it!! The most reasonable and best post I’ve seen by a Leafs fan in a while. The leafs offered Dermott 895k already. He might sign that offer sheet. He might not even nickel and dime them up to 1M/yr. If another team offers him 1.395M or above, they have to give up a 3rd round Pick as compensation. And the Leafs would 100% take that 3rd round pick and let him walk then.

Every other posts has Barabnov starting too. It’s hard for me to imagine two 1st year, Russian players coming in and starting on A contenting, play-off team. That’s a lot to ask. Especially since Mikheyev is a lot bigger than Lehtonen and Barabnov. Barabanov especially is smaller. And both play the Russian way. Soft and fast. With the bigger Ice RInk in Russia. It usually takes some time for them to adjust to the NHL game, the smaller rink, is a huge difference, but isn’t even the biggest difference. And plus, getting accustomed to everything off the Ice too. Like I said, that’s just a lot of faith to have in two 1st year guys that have never played a play in the NHL yet. So, I like you just having Lehtonen on your 3rd defensive pairing. Seeing he’s the better of the 2 players anyways. Atleast the more highly touted. I guess we will see who is better..lol.</div></div>

Now watch me get roasted by Leaf Fans. lol
