I really wonder if this series is making the Leafs re-think Zaitsev's contract. From the sounds of it, it's basically a done deal. I'm guessing the Leafs just don't want to announce it until the season is over. But he's been bad this series. Like, "maybe don't sign him for 7 years" bad.

For some context though, I wasn't crazy about the rumoured deal even before this series.

Righthanded guys who can skate with a team built for speed ... but I hear you.  7-year deals need to go to superstars.

I was thinking the same thing. The issue, I think, is whether he's 100% right now.

And I still don't know that 7 years at a very reasonable rate is a huge risk even if he's only a good regular season, questionable playoff guy.

He probably doesn't intrinsically know how much time is left and he made the smarter, safer defensive play.

Agreed. If this was the regular season, and there wasn't anything on the line, would he even have been playing for the past week? He hasn't been great in the series, but, the health issue is a big asterisk.

Marincin has been horrible tonight. Giveaway city.

Don't agree.  I think he's held his own for the most part this series.

Series yes he's been fine but numerous chances to get the puck out of his end tonight and he didn't get enough on it and we've been lucky not to get scored on.

Gardiner with the spinnorma instead of just SHOOTING!

He had a guy directly in front of him. Any shot from that spot almost certainly gets blocked.

So what if it gets blocked, there was little to no time on the clock for them to do anything with anyways!
