[Pagnotta] Jake McCabe is open to a contract extension with the Maple Leafs. “I love it here,” he said a few moments ago. He’ll let his agent handle things with the Leafs; added they’ve had talks already.

  1. Esa Lindell and Adam Larsson both signing for $5.25M should be the ceiling of what we offer

    Who doesn’t love a physical, dependant defence-man. Add in the occasional red mist moment, and he’s a great fit for this team. Sign him!

  3. can he re-sign at his Leafs cap hit of $2M please *sighs*

  4. ImaginaryAd7779

    McCabe is the exact type of defenceman this team needs and he actually loves it here. Give this man a contract

    My favourite Leafs player not named Matthews or Nylander.

  6. GracefulShutdown

    One of those members of the team where it makes sense to re-sign them…. after we get through the Tavares and Marner extensions.

    *drops a toonie in the Marner Jar again*

    Ideally I think the leafs should try for a shorter deal. I don’t think 36 year old mccabe would be a great asset. He’s great currently,  hope he gets a payday. Just not sure I want it to be the leafs who pay him

    4×4 pls

    some term to knock the caphit down

    He’s 31 in a couple weeks. There’s some potential for any deal to be a disaster. But hooo boy, has he been good here.

  10. I’m so nervous about a McCabe extension with how Treliving signs contracts. It feels impossible that this would go well. McCabe turns 31 next month, so my guess is Treliving gives him 5 or 6 years and probably a slight raise on his current salary (4 million) to like 5-5.5 ish? 6×5.5? Are we all still excited? lol

    I like McCabe, but I still don’t totally get this d group. Rielly is with Tanev. McCabe has been good on the right but they seem to want him on the left. But they don’t want to play him with Liljegren who should be getting a chance as their next best right D. At the same time, Benoit and OEL are also both left shot D.

    Like what’s the plan if Hakanpaa is healthy? Is Liljegren the odd man out with McCabe and Hakanpaa as the right shot guys? Is Benoit the odd man out with Liljegren and Hakanpaa on the right side and McCabe on the left side? It’s one thing to have 6 or 7 good dmen, it’s another for them to actually fit together. They can’t re-sign McCabe until they figure out where the bottom 4 are fitting together.

    hes not gonna age well, but the team needs him. Hopefully its a decent contract

  12. world_citizen7

    Keep in mind his AAV right now is at 4 million (2 mill paid by Chicago), surely he wants more after playing well.

  13. BathroomSerious1318

    It’s true MLSE has a good culture to play for?

  14. So said almost every player that gets asked this question on any team

    You’re welcome to stay, Jake. Make yourself comfortable!
