Dubas is going to re-sign Marincin to a 1-year deal every year until one of them dies.

They really should retire the number 7 in his honour.

He finally doesn't have to wait until the summer this time :'(

Gotta keep him around for the expansion draft! So, another 1 year deal after this one!

When I saw this in the latest posts, I assumed it was a bump of an old thread.

I triple checked the posting date and verified the Twitter account wasn't a parody and the linked article was dated today.

League minimum bumps to 750k the year after this deal expires.

It?s rare for a seventh or eighth defenseman to stick with one NHL club for as long as Marincin has (going on five years), but Sheldon Keefe recently spoke to Marincin?s suitability to the role as an extra who needs to be ready when called upon in the case of injury, such as when the Leafs lost Jake Muzzin to a broken foot recently. Keefe referenced Marincin?s appreciation for how he?s been treated in the organization and also that bouncing back and forth between the levels doesn?t require relocating geographically in Toronto:

It?s his personality, would be the big thing. He is a very easygoing guy. I think the organization also has treated him very well, and he?s recognized that. Obviously, he had a very good experience both with the Marlies and winning a championship but also I think we put a lot of time into him and working with him on his game, and he felt himself improving. All of those things are a part of it. His personality and how he has remained confident in himself and accepted the bouncing around a little bit ? the credit would go to him. Remaining in the city of Toronto while moving up and down is a big factor as well.

People always need a Leafs D whipping boy but he's not it.  He's a perfectly serviceable fill-in and having a youngish vet in that role makes a lot of sense.

I don't think he's the whipping boy either. He's done an admirable job filling in for Muzzin. He'll be under the minimum next year as a 7th D man, good stuff.

Ok, where are all the get rid of Marincin now guys hiding?

I'm a little disappointed he hasn't chipped in his requisite goal yet this year.

One here. For that price who cares but as long as he's filling in for an injury.
Starting to think Dubas actually thinks this guy can play.
Guy sucks plain and simple and when you got him as one of your shutdown guys.
Enough said.
I don't even have much faith in our top 4 so you know how I feel about this guy.
Whole defensive corps needs a complete overhaul. Keep Holl and Dermott as your 5-6. Sandin one of the top 4 and find 3 replacements.
Always like Reilly but he's not a #1 D man.

Did you stop at ?Enough said,? because you were taking him at his word?

But where would we find any NHL teams that would be interested in three slugs like Reilly. Berry and Muzzin?
