His jersey number.

Lou: "as a stipulation of his contract he has agreed to wear #75, there will be no questions"

Worried... because the Leafs have a solid record of screwing things up. An impeccable record in fact.

 

[Tigger]

Ha, well there you go.

Matthews' deal has max bonuses. Agent: "There were no issues at all getting it done with Lou & the #Leafs." https://t.co/c4cxYvMEQm

How mad will Buffalo be if Vesey signs here?

I don't read that as him getting maximum bonuses.

Matthews' deal includes the maximum entry-level salary of $925,000 per year as well as bonuses.

His agent confirmed to a number of people in the media that he received the maximum allowed bonus structure.

The official "Welcome to Toronto, Auston!"

 

[riff raff]

The timing of this makes me laugh.

It's almost as if they waited for the media to launch its "There's trouble! There's trouble!" campaign and then: Oh look - here's the contract signed.

I don't like to type this but....

LOL.

 

[Highlander]

Lou get the hell out of that Tomato patch and tell your grandson to get inside. It's to damn hot out.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

In Lou we trust.

 

[Highlander]

Lets face it Matthews has the power to bend Lou to his Austin Powers like Powers. Lou says "Ya Baby"

Lou said it took 10 minutes to do the contract.
