Leafs sign Tucker to three-year pact

TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs ticked another free agent off their list yesterday when excitable forward Darcy Tucker signed a three-year deal.

Tucker will be paid $2.1-million (all figures U.S.) a year through the 2006-07 season.

The 29-year-old left winger will also earn a $100,000 bonus if he can score 20 goals or get 60 points, and he will receive $100,000 if the Leafs advance past the second round of the playoffs, a feat they have failed to accomplish in each of the past two seasons.

If the Leafs win the Stanley Cup, Tucker would receive a $150,000 bonus.

Tucker scored 21 goals and 32 points in 64 games this season. He was well on his way to surpassing his career-best 24-goal season of 2001-02, but he suffered an abdominal strain in a game against the Buffalo Sabres at the Air Canada Centre on March 6.

He missed the final 13 games of the regular season and the opener of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal playoff series against the Ottawa Senators.

The Leafs also confirmed the signing of defenceman Ken Klee yesterday, to a two-year deal worth $5-million.

Klee, 33, will earn a $50,000 bonus if the Leafs advance to the Stanley Cup final and an additional $50,000 if they should happen to win the Stanley Cup.

Klee was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and Tucker would have been a restricted free agent.

Some of the Leafs who are unsigned include restricted free agents Nik Antropov, Aki Berg, Tomas Kaberle, Bryan McCabe, Alexei Ponikarovsky and Mikael Tellqvist.

The group of unrestricted free agents includes Ed Belfour, Tom Fitzgerald, Bryan Marchment, Joe Nieuwendyk and Gary Roberts.

A couple of smart moves by John Ferguson JR by signing a good defenseman Klee and now the playoff warrior Tucker. I heard of a lot of teams that have called up the leafs to ask about acquiring Tucker as they know hes a player you'd love to have on your team! To keep him in the blue in white ifor 3 more years is a great idea!!

Two good signings. Hopefully, they won't move on the 6-odd mil a year two-year deal that Eddie's looking for.
Of the restricted FA's, I'd think Kaberle and McCabe are the only rough guarantees. Antropov and Poni are probables. Berg and Tellqvist are spare parts.

Yeah keeping Kaberle and Mccabe are the next priority. I think as good as Eddie had last season hes coming to the end of his career. Hopefully he will retire a maple leaf!
