2ELIAS6 264 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 holy cash! that contract seems like a bit much, especially from a maple leafs team who may not be back in the playoffs for a couple more seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmann422 169 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Can someone clear this up for me? I swore I heard on the radio this morning he was going to buffalo... Was that reported wrong or did I mishear? Anyway we knew if the leafs offered him crazy money he'd go, otherwise everything else equal he'd stay in Detroit. This is crazy money and then some.
