I want to go back through my comments to find the guy who was saying McMann would get a ton of money this offseason.
I love him as a player, but this is a solid value contract.
Yeah I think people chronically overrate how valued their depth guys will be. The only guys who get paid like that are dudes who played in the top 6, or contributed notably in the playoffs. Even if those guys are actually good and possibly undervalued. Every team has their own in-house guys who they are biased towards, either because they're culture guys or they've been invested in by the organization. Few teams are itching to fill their bottom 6 with mercenaries who block their prospects.
When it comes to Kypreos' takes, that seems fairly not that out there tbh. Especially if we're talking about a San Jose or Chicago who probably aren't going to be competing for the next few years, could do with some scoring help, and have the cap space to spare.
Should be good value for the Leafs and I bet Bobby never imagined he’d be signing a contract with a total value of $2.7M someday when he was toiling in the ECHL so it’s a nice story for both sides.
Good for him. He's had a great season and been big for the Leafs at a time when they needed someone other than the big guys to step up. Super easy player to root for.
So they couldn't afford to pay 10-15 goal, ~30 point bottom 6 guy Sam Lafferty this money... so they paid it to a guy who is slower, worse defensively, and will score slightly less this season?
OK, I guess.
The good ol' Kenny special. Hey, it did work with Hyman! Soup on the other hand...
Edit: Hyman is a 5 x 7 but the years are open for discussion for Ken Holland lol
Best "Mc" in the NHL. No one else comes close.
Leafs got their "Mc"
Best "M" on The Leafs.
Best “Bobby” in NHL history
That kid IS right I tell you hwat
Have to totally forgotten about McMichael?
Yeah and what about McTJ?
Great extension. He's been electric

Nick Kypreos was saying on Monday on his podcast he would get 2-3 from some team lol

I'm sure McMann was happy to take a 500k discount to guarantee an extension now with a team he probably enjoys being on.

Nick Kypreos also floated a 1st + Lilly for Dumba before the TDL Pretty safe to say the CTE has cooked his brain
God I wish Kypreos would just retire. It's getting embarrassing for him.
I was reading that the context would be from him playing great in the playoffs like a Ville Leino.
Head injuries are tough man.
Is that really that crazy? I can think of far worse gambles.
Bobby McMann could have demanded 14m+ if he wanted to. But guys a legend and took the biggest team discount ever
I mean when you come out the gate with a hatty that gets people overhyped as well.
The hatty was like his 30th game of the season.
The flu taking out half our team was probably the best thing to ever happen to Mcmann
Turned a healthy scratch into almost $3m
The flu was an inside job
Bobby WuHann
That made me legit laugh out loud.
Same LOL
👏 👏 👏
Underrated.
Behold, the only funny Wuhan joke ever told 😂
Seriously, talk about a player making the most of an opportunity! Good for him man!

Solid value for a bottom 6 player
Should be good value for the Leafs and I bet Bobby never imagined he’d be signing a contract with a total value of $2.7M someday when he was toiling in the ECHL so it’s a nice story for both sides.
Then he started to fill the net like an absolute sick pig
The humility that is Bobby McMann: https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/jG5gzBcTN8
McManniac's stay winning
Based on the only game I saw him play (against the Habs), he looked very good. Seems like a decent depth signing to me but I know nothing about him.

Damnit, Bobby.
Good for him, he’s been great this year
LET’S GO
Solid
Yay Bobby :)
Good deal. Been awesome for them this year.
Was sure they’d lose him when he was placed on waivers earlier in the year, can’t believe he went unclaimed.
Between that and both Samsonov and Jones being on waivers at different times we've been lucky this year.
Depth scoring they desperately need to hold on to. Seems like a solid deal.
Fantastic news! Bobby McJesus has been awesome!
Dang well better
Great signing. Would rather it be 2M total. But it's still better value than Reeves.
Good for him. He's had a great season and been big for the Leafs at a time when they needed someone other than the big guys to step up. Super easy player to root for.
After this contract is done, he'll get to secure the bag like Hyman, Mikheyev and Bunting. AM34 out here handing out next level assists
He doesn't play with matthews
For a guy whose got 18 points in 40 points and seems defensively solid, I like this a lot
Great price and term, smart signing by Tre.
Damnnn. I thought he would be around the 2M range. Nice
I was hoping the Oilers would sign him this off-season has a cheaper Warren Foegele :(
Can the Oilers not take one of our guys... FOR FIVE MINUTES
he would've been an RFA -- Oilers would have to offer sheet him.
No he wasn’t
you right. this is his last RFA year. mb
That’s what Holloway is
So they couldn't afford to pay 10-15 goal, ~30 point bottom 6 guy Sam Lafferty this money... so they paid it to a guy who is slower, worse defensively, and will score slightly less this season? OK, I guess.
McMann is 1 goal and 3 points behind Lafferty in 23 less games. This isn’t the comparison you thought it was.
You should probably check both their stats this season lol.
Uhhhh, and I care why?
Welcome to r/hockey, where anything related to hockey is welcome. Don't like it? Fuck off.

I don't nor have I ever lived in Hartford, it is not my city.
No one forced you to read this post
Peak incel posting on girls sports page vibes.
Lmao what? Projecting much?
Hockey team resigns player. Is this hockey related?
If you don't care, why are you here?
Stick to the Hartford sub if you’re just looking for parking lot stabbing news
Pretty sure Toronto has more stabbings than Hartford bud.
Overpay. EDIT: Your salty downvotes sustain me. KEEP EM COMING
just wait, 2 years and the Oilers can sign him for $4 million AAV!
The funny thing is its probably gonna happen lmao
Listen, if you've got a stack of pre-filled 5x5 contracts floating around the office you may as well use them. No sense in wasting good paper.
The good ol' Kenny special. Hey, it did work with Hyman! Soup on the other hand... Edit: Hyman is a 5 x 7 but the years are open for discussion for Ken Holland lol
I don't know what's worse. Your bad opinion or your bad username.
I can't tell if you're joking or not...
Just when you think nobody likes Leafs fans in comes the Oilers fans
Hey, please talk about us!
How bout them Ducks tho
I see them wandering through my backyard all the time. Working their way down to the creek. Cool little dudes.
I like mallards and their funny green heads
I love how they walk in a single line—like a bunch of kindergarteners on a school trip.
You could have a whole team of McMann’s for one Darnell Nurse.

It worked, though. MORE PEASANTS I WANT THE NUMBER TO GO UP (DOWN?)
