In their defence, at the time of the extension the Leafs were securely in a playoff position, believe it was late December. Everyone remembers the freefall that took place in Jan-Feb-Mar that year. Could not have been predicted, and the Wilson extension was only for one year, which is hardly bad planning.

I can't see him getting too much more than Gunnarsson got, would be surprised if his contract is about 3.5 per year. He is more of a powerplay specialist, while Gunnarsson plays tougher minutes and is overall more important to the defense's core.. Don't get me wrong, good 2nd pairing guy but not worth more than Gunnarsson.. so hopefully he settles for a decent salary. My guess is he is asking for 4+ at the moment, which he will probably not get.

Salary was too high given out by Burke... Nobody was going to take him at that price without a sweetener like a draft pick or something.

Haha it is indeed me! Yes I remember the McDonalds trip, good times... Nice to see ya here.

Not a bad deal for Gunnarsson. He is one of the more steady guys in his own end. Hopefully can get Fraser locked up soon, great third pairing guy.
