Liles signs four-year extension

Some surprising news this morning, as the Leafs have announced a four-year contract extension for blueliner John-Michael Liles, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

From TSN:

The Toronto Maple Leafs will announce today that the club has signed defenceman John-Michael Liles to a four-year, $15.5 million contract extension.
It’s weird timing for a move like this, considering Liles has missed the last fifteen games with a concussion. This extension also stirs up a lot of rumors about what the Leafs will do in the next couple weeks, now that they’ve potentially taken a good chunk of cash away from being used to shop in the summer.

    Agree with HH on the Blake comparisons.
    Small fast guys who can’t shoot for shit and are over paid after 1 good season in lombo’s Case 1 average season

    I’m not a fan of either guy, i think they’re both shit, although I can see how there speed if utilized properly can be effective, but not at that price.

    Lombo is taking up a roster spot that could have been Frattin or Colborne
