The press conference was extremely cringey, but what else is to be expected from our media guys. They're definitely not helping the situation.
Anyway...its all about timing, not words. If July 1 comes and there's no extension for a week, you start to worry. If we get to camp and there is no extension that's even worse. As that's when the old chestnut of "Talk to my agent", or "My agent handles those questions", turns into "We want to concentrate on the season at hand, and will not be talking contract".
Everyone wants Leon at $13m - $15m. The tax advantage in Alberta is ahead of NY / California, but likely even with a lot of middle America, and behind Florida / Texas. There are some good situations to sign on to and be a 1C.
Geography is interesting as home would favor Edmonton (over the pole) or the East Coast (gf is from Ontario, but is an actress, so that means LA, Van, Toronto or NYC).
Weather...I think this one is overplayed.
The extra year...it's a lot of money for the extra year, so that is in our favor. LD is a big body, and those haven't aged as well, we could be the only team willing to go that deep with a 37yr old Leon.
I'm sure CM97 and LD have talked lots on this topic. I've always believed we'll get a Connor picture of him in his Leaf jammies at some point, if Leon signs though, Connor will sign.
I guess that heaps more pressure on to this extension. As I don't see Connor staying if Leon is dealt / or not extended.
