Nice to see Leafs brass keep a guy like Benoit long-term because he's exactly the type of player they look for every trade deadline
Steve’s original Simon Benoit video is just hilarious now
I feel like boiling down the complex issue of gambling addiction to mere "personal responsibility" is a naive take. Here's some stuff
Predatory Ads: To suggest that individuals can simply choose not to be influenced by gambling ads is laughably simplistic. These ads are crafted by experts in psychology to be as enticing as possible, preying on vulnerabilities. It's not about making a rational choice; it's about being manipulated into making one that benefits the advertiser.
Children and Teens: The argument that it's solely on parents to shield their kids from the effects of these ads is absurd. Kids are bombarded with messages that gambling is fun and harmless, directly contradicting parents' guidance. Content creators who push this garbage are complicit in this deception.
Ethics for Sale: Suggesting that content creators are just making a living and can't be choosy about their sponsors is a cop-out. If your paycheck comes at the expense of ethics, maybe it's time to reassess your choices. Integrity matters, or at least it should.
Societal Responsibility: The "personal responsibility" mantra conveniently ignores the fact that we live in a society, not in isolation. We have a collective responsibility to protect the vulnerable among us, not exploit them for profit.
Understanding Addiction: Your take on addiction is so reductive it's almost offensive. Addiction isn't a simple matter of willpower; it's a complex interplay of many factors, including exposure to addictive behaviors. Don't reduce it to a character flaw.
In short, it's not just about individual choices; it's about how those choices are shaped by the environment, including predatory advertising.
Also I don't think they are here to stay. After enough damage is done i think they will go the same way cigarette ads did.
Solid signing. It's not flashy, but it's the kind of player the Leafs need. Decent defenseman, cost effective, signed for several more years. Basically zero risk.
I met Benoit at Ducks day at disney last year...he was so fun to talk to and such a cool guy! so happy for him!!
Anyone who finishes checks is a breath of fresh air on this leafs team… hasn’t been nearly enough of that in the last 10 years
We need a 40 minute video of Simon Benoit ~sid texting Steve
I low key really like Brad’s last two signings .. good depth moves
Please forgive me, but how do you mean? You "low key really like" this move? What does that even mean?
Must be an eastern Canadian
@@yammie75It means he’s a baritone.
I call that a bargain….🎵(name that tune)
Locking up a middle six forward with size and a real good 5/6 defenceman with size for 2.7 million combined. Great piece of work from Treliving. Dubas would never.
Absolutely LOVE the deal👏👏👏
This is the type of player that will shine in the Playoffs.... and God knows we NEED them!!!
Good signing. Heart & soul & snot.
2 huge contracts im so glad they snagged
I love benoit and mcmanns game this year
I liked Benoit from day 1 , had a feeling his stats were worse playing in ANA.
Now we need to sign Domi next !
Me too. I also think they gave up on Lagesson too soon.
Benoit reminds me of former Leafs defence man Sylvain Lefebvre. Just a really strong no nonsense defensive defence man who plays 100% every game. Good deal.
He isn't that good. But he is cheap.
Benoit plays D in a mean and nasty way with his physical play ( the way it should be played!!)
Love Benoit and Steve Dangle
All of Brad’s moves are starting to age like wine (minus Klingberg)
Like ice wine?
Willy at 11.5 no
Maybe they knew he was injured and made a deal to pay for his surgery and open up space on LTIR so they could resign him next year for league minimum? Similar with Murray? Then they have space to cover Matthew's and Nylander's increased contracts and sign a top line d player? Can afford to resign Domi and Bertuzzi if they let Sammy and Brodie go?
@@hockey_all_star5895 willy at 11.5 yes, he's on 50 watch and is probably gonna hit 100 points
@@hockey_all_star5895 a consistent 90+ point player - Check
Cap going up substantially the next 2 seasons - Check
Tavares will take a hometown Discount in 2025 - Check
Its just that simple.
in terms of "defense", there isn't a Toronto Maple Leaf that I trust more than Simon Benoit. Always in the right spot, battles hard, rarely makes a mistake, clears the front of the net better than most in the NHL and he hits a ton... game in and game out. Great signing for the Leafs and at a very, very reasonable, team friendly cap hit. Simon Bernoit earned this contract and he deserves every penny.
I like. It shows some maturity it the team’s management that they realize they can’t let guys like Benoit walk and try to replace him with another minimum wager. By the end of this coming playoffs, Benoit will bleed blue and white. LOVE those guys.
Bahahaha Dangle Nipples! Make a damn shirt with those immediately!!!
I laughed my ass off at Steve’s attempt to keep it PG. 😅
Steve's faces on Benoit's chest got me
What’s not love about Benoit. He’s our new Muzzin.
Except Muzzin could move the puck up effectively.
Cool to hear Steve's back into blocks as being good!
Wanted this extension. Good job!
Never stop Steve ❤
Great signing!! Love Benny!!! He works his bag off!!
Heart and soul guy. He has been great for us this season and even if he falls off a bit I still want him in the lineup come playoffs. He hits, blocks shots, protects the net, and he’ll stick up for his teammates.
During the 1974 - 1975 season the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS called up Claire Alexander from the farm team Oklahoma city blazers . He was known as THE Milkman as it use to be his summer job . - 3/30/2024 🤠 - Go LEAFS Go!!!!
Great guy - positive influence on his teammates -they love the guy!!!
great deal love it
Man you do your thing very well.
I love the guy, very solid Dman only getting better.
Laval's finest!! I like the dude. Great recap, thanks.
Everything about this deal is perfect
Benoit brings alot of what Luke Schenn did last year. Thundering punishment. But what I like best about him is the calmness in his game. He's definately a "walk softly but carry a big stick" kind of guy for sho Steve.
How could you forget Simon Benoit? I remember him when I first started watching hockey!
Benny has the PASSION and that's enough for me!
Great signing. It's a win win. Good for him!
Great signing plus its a guy who earlier on in the season said he would love to stay with Toronto.
!!!!!AWESOME!!!!!
Many of us were not expecting the worst, you forgot to mention Benoits comment when Anaheim passed on him, he was pissed and said they will regret that decision, that showed us he had heart and something to prove💪
Send him my condolences.
Fantastic signing at a great price
Love it. One of the hardest working guys on the ice every single night. Glad he's on our team.
Love everything about the signing. I really like the team Tre is putting together.
Great signing
Love it!!!!
Solid, not costing a lot and I love what he brings on the ice.
Love this signing soooooo much!!!
Love the signing. Definitely got me feeling like a need a Benoit jersey. We'll see how the playoffs go, maybe I'll grab one. Love it.
Hey - Leafs Executives starting to get good value in signing this player at this time for this price.
I said that I was kinda excited from the start, got a few comments kinda laughing about that. I liked him last season, glad he came and played well!
Given the Benoit pickup, McMann signings (and arguably now even Bert and Domi the way they’ve been playing of late), Treliving is starting to look like a genius. Well ok… maybe not a genius, but a hell of a lot more competent than Dufus.
Great contract!
Love IT!!!!!!!!
I will forever say "BALLS" each and every time they say Benoit's name
Great analys!
Yes, I like him. This is the kind of spirit that has been lacking at times. Everyone will see the sparks flying around him, and more importantly see the fear in the opposing team that he will create.
Finally a GM that doesn't let every player walk
I was early on the Benoit hype train so this makes me happy. Dude has earned it and he seems like a great presence for this team. Plus the mustache is 👌
Benny is a beauty glad to have him extended.
So happy Brad is in the house. He's been signing people for very little money. Solid signing. Love it!
Love this guy
The most important fact about this signing is that it’s only $1.35m.
A “no risk only upside deal”.
This is the number (and lower) allows the leafs to bury it in the AHL at any time without retaining a cap hit.
This holds true for Reavo, McCann and now Benoit.
Although no one wants to see this happen of course -in year 3… (if and when) the leafs bolster their Defense, Benoit may be pushed down the depth chart with no retained cap hit.
Excellent deal (with all 3 this year)
On Benny 👍🏻🤟🎉
Do you think that the leafs will have the cap space to extend domi and Burt or at least one of them or will they be comeplete rentals I really like them so I hope not
I love this signing, I would even like to see him play over Brody.
Had the opposite feeling when I thought I read the Leafs singed Jeff Finger signed a 4 year deal for 3.5 million.
I love this signing!
Very glad of that sign, as I mentionned it when they signed mcmann hoping the same for Benoît. Now they need a new era on défense and not signing again brodie, giordano and liljegren keeping the money for free agents or an exchange. I realy think that treliving is placing his pawns for next year
For a d-man that's just 25 years old and is reliable as a 4-6 option it's a solid contract. Leafs need young bodies in their blue line as they are getting pretty old in the position.
Steve who did you think would win?! Kentucky or Auburn (I go to Auburn 😔)
I thought we were calling him Benny the butcher
When’s domi’s extension
In the playoffs you play the most physical defence you can look at the 2 teams we might face 1st round.
Tre looks like he's trying to improve the defense, can't wait to see what he adds next season, lets go Benny !!
I love this from Brad! The years is not to long but also not short either, money is a great value and he does everything that's asked of him. And if he for some reason turns into a pumpkin, the deal is pretty much bearable if needed
Yes
Great news, this guy had a good run with ducks and was picked to provide depth to our d-corp. He's very young at 25 and should get even better as defenseman only reach their maturity at 27, 28...a great deal.
I was waiting for this signing aftr the Bobby McMann contract
bs
Actually saying the gambling addiction disclaimer at a normal speed instead of speeding through it or chucking it in a lower third? Nice.
Love it
It would've been nice to have cookie and milk on the same team lol.
The Leafs *checks notes* signed a defensive defenseman long-term???
Good.
Good contract for a guy who plays with his heart on his sleeve. He should be a regular in this lineup for the playoffs.
#sdpn fuller is also from superbad
I think everyone loves this signing!
SO,
That's 1 mill after taxes,
Or 85 mil per month ater taxes- fees for player union fees etc.
He needs to take it easy on finances, It's easy to go overboard on spending !
Sounds like a lot of money, but lets remember , this is T0 , the 2nd most expensive city in Canada, only out done by Vancouver !
Mike.
go figure steve’s march madness pick doesn’t make it past the first round lol
I love the deal, I would’ve been okay with a 5 by 2 mil.
Treliving REALLY loves these $1.35m contracts.
Not complaining! huge difference from what we came to expect from dubas
This guy gets 3 years of security. He is going to giv’er and improve. He will be playing hard for his next contract.
Hands are tied but he’s getting it done. 👏
Always seems risky to sign a player whose style is heavily physical to more than a couple years. But Treliving seems to like the 3 year deal.
08:55 What was that. (Not the tattoo.)
Here are some other things he led Anaheim defensemen in! Worst plus minus! Most goals scored against while on the ice! Anaheim also boasted the 2nd worst penalty killing in the league killing only 72.14% of power plays against them. If he leads in penalty killing ice time, and that's their kill efficiency, I fail to see that as being a positive!
Super pumped about this contract. We’re finally signing sensible contracts instead of overpaying for mediocre talent!
The Steve faces over top of the Benoit nipples is engraved into my memory forever 😂
YESSS big ,physical ,young nice to see a Quebecer on the Leafs also❤
It would appear Brad knows what has to be done in order to compete in their own division, he is getting value from his $ 1.35 contracts.
LOVE Benoit! Super happy he is a leaf. He is consistent and tough. We don't need offensive D men, we need proper protect the net, protect your teammates D and we got that in Benoit. Cannot believe he was taken out of the line-up and I hope it doesn't happen again in the next 3 years.
Love the signing. We haven't see a physical guy like this since the early Luke Schenn days 2008-2012.
Had schenn for the playoffs last year and let him go… signed elsewhere for 2.75m a year?
I love the signing. He'll be in his prime when Cowan brings us to a cup.
We need 2 more benoits on this team
