These are the takes I generally disagree with. Toffoli, at the end of his LA days was a third line player who was slow, without finish, but grinded it out. He’d be a third liner on most teams. He very likely signed at a discount to go to his favourite team, Montreal. He’s exceeded expectations dramatically and found a new life. There was little indication at the time this would happen. In hindsight, great, but I generally agreed with passing on him given his past performance and higher salary he’d have demanded on any other team but Montreal.
