TSN's Bob MacKenzie is reporting that the Leafs have extended [John-Michael Liles](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55475/john-michael-liles?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for four years at $3.875M per. We don't know about any potential NMC/NTC.

The upside of this deal is that Liles' cap hit decreases though given his age and term (though it likely should have), and he's been a valuable part of the Leafs this season. My issues surrounding this deal are:

- Between Liles, [Luke Schenn](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54281/luke-schenn?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Mike Komisarek](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55649/mike-komisarek?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) the Leafs are spending $12M for #4, #6 and #7 defenders on a team that has a lot of trouble on defense. Obviously Komisarek is the boat anchor there but that's tough to swallow.
- Offensive production for 35 year olds is horrific. If Liles can't be buried in the minors due to an NMC and if his contract isn't mega front loaded for a future trade then it's not great.

So, is someone on the move in Toronto?
