Oggie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I agree with Bill M. We really don't need another slow defensemen that supposedly is a team leader. Surely we've learned our lesson. Didn't we bring in Tim Gleason for the same reason. How did that work out?

Oggie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Good point. Too bad his heart didn't rub off on some of the other less committed players. He was fearless. I think sometimes he was required to block a shot because someone else on the ice hadn't held up their end of the deal.

Let's hope they beef up the D line this year!
leaf4 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Cya later spazza, headed to the stars, full details yet to emerge
grimsbylander Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 So Gorges was willing to go to Buffalo but not TO. Ouch
grimsbylander Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Cya later spazza, headed to the stars, full details yet to emerge They tricked him...they asked if he wanted to be a star? TRADED!
BillM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Boyle to the Rangers! No Toronto jersey in his future.
BillM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 See ya Bolland, it was fun while it lasted! Gone to Florida. 5.5mil per yr for 5 years. Not surprised Toronto didn't sign him.
Steve Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 if we didn't have that waste of space clarkson we could have afforded bolland.
leaf4 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 hopefully they have something up their sleeves cause we just lost two productive players
BillM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't want to pay Bolland 5.5 a year to be a 3rd line center.. No way. Sign Komarov today, that's all I want Toronto to do. Edited July 1, 2014 by BillM
Steve Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 i agree with you there. leo is the single person I want to see signed more than any other!!!
leaf4 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I really don't know what komarov will change, he's asking a lot of money because he can make it in the KHL but he's only worth so much, when he went back they'd offered him 1.7mill/yr and he made high 2's maybe into 3 I can't remember exactly. I mean I like the guy but it was for selfish reasons d(albeit personal ones on being able to be on display for his country for sochi) he left but he's not worth what he's asking in a salary cap worl Edited July 1, 2014 by leaf4
Steve Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 which is what he is worth. $2.5m to $3m a year in the current nhl. if you can tie him into a contract for multi years, he'll be even cheaper once the cap is increased.

leaf4 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) maybe the process of trying to call Russia is holding them up from calling players that can actually add something to the roster other than grit? Matt frattin is good but we traded him once already and retained salary with scrivens to acquire bernier Edited July 1, 2014 by leaf4
Jds63 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Bolland - questionable future due to injury Raymond - play making ability but not much grit Clarkson - complete waste of money the fact that they are gone is definitely not going to keep them from making the playoffs lets see what they pick up ... just heard Matt Frattin from CBJ
leaf4 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Stephane robidas in on a 3 year deal for the leafs... I wonder the price
Oggie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I think Clarkson could be a good player for the Leafs if the team ever buys into the style of play Carlyle wants. I just don't think the coach has the type of players he needs to play the style he's coaching. If you give Clarkson some other players on his line who like to cycle I think he'd be pretty hard to play against. He was in New Jersey. I liked Frattin and I think he'll be a matured player more willing to pay the price now.
Oggie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 When I hear the name Robidas I think of a soft whinny player with a great ability to score but no defensive side. I haven't seen him play enough but is my memory failing me?
