muskymatt Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Looking up for the Sens when their highest scorer is a d-man? lol offensive strugglezzzzzzzzzz They just signed a 4 time 30 goal scorer to a 7 year deal, I expect he'll keep that up for a while.
BillM Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 They just signed a 4 time 30 goal scorer to a 7 year deal, I expect he'll keep that up for a while. We'll see if he can score 30 with Ottawa
AKRISONER Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 lol 7.25? for 7 years? really? JVR has outscored Ryan the past 2 seasons and was on pace to tie him the season before for nearly half the money. 30 goal scorers dont last long, Remember 50 in 07? ahahaha
lookinforwalleye Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 I'm sure Yzerman was questioned when he was made captain so young, Karlsson has a Norris trophy and has led the defense scoring in the league twice, he also had the most points for a defenseman since he joined the league. He leads the team in minutes played per game and is said to already be a leader in the room. As far as I can see, the sky's the limit for him. Looks like things are looking up for the Sens in the future. All he needs to do is work on that +/- stat....career minus guy!
jimmer Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Sounds like they need to start planning the parade in Ottawa!
jimmer Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 General Managers are their own worst enemies!!!!!! No wonder guys sign in places like Tampa, Nashville, Carolina, Columbus and Ottawa, they get oodles of $$$$ thrown at them, with no real expectations.

No wonder guys sign in places like Tampa, Nashville, Carolina, Columbus and Ottawa, they get oodles of $$$$ thrown at them, with no real expectations Thats a 7 year deal. May be high price this year or next. Keep in mind that the salary cap will continue to go up and in 2 to 4 years that will be a steal ,thats only if he can keep up the pace he is at now.
tb4me Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Posted October 3, 2014 So it looks like the Dead things plane was delayed and the bus was stuck on the gardiner as of 630 pm.. Game delayed till 8 pm. Leafs are without Clarkson, Bozak and Kessel..All hurt, Robidas makes his first start tonight playing beside Powder Puff Dion.. Lets hope that pin in his leg holds up, it broke twice last year.
leaf4 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 sweet game, bullet from dion to boot! I'm lol in him on the left side
BillM Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 I hope Kozun stays in camp. Also, I still HATE the Sportsnet announcers, I think that guy was as bad as old Bob Cole at getting names wrong lastnight.
solopaddler Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 As an impartial Leaf fan: -Karlsson is a stud, I think Ottawa made the right choice for captain (would much rather have him as captain than Phaneuf) -Crazy contract for Ryan, no way would I have signed him to that. But then I never would have traded for him. That contract will be an albatross in two years. -Kozun has been great, hope he makes the team! -Percy has been solid too, can we please trade Franson now? -Overall I think our D is pretty scary. They're an injury or two away from complete disaster. No depth. As always I remain optimistic. GO LEAFS!
jbailey Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Thats a 7 year deal. May be high price this year or next. Keep in mind that the salary cap will continue to go up and in 2 to 4 years that will be a steal ,thats only if he can keep up the pace he is at now. exactly, it may seem like a lot now but in a couple years it will look like a steal compared the contracts some of these guys will be signing.
Sebastian Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 Agreed. Hate the Sens but Karlsson is solid. Guy is still young and like matt said, sky is the limit. The salary cap will rise and you will begin to see deals in the 7-10million range. Let the Sens spend all their money on Ryan and Macarthur. Clarkson at 5 million was a worse move from the get go than any Sens signing. I also love the Dion haters. Guy is always on the hook. Get him a real defenseman to play with. Franson is not a top 4 D man. Leafs dont have defensive depth as is. injuries have already started and season hasnt started. Its an 82 game season. Only Detroit manages to have an injured team and still get bailed out by their unknown amazing talent from the farm team. I cant wait for the season opener against the Habs!
muskymatt Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 I had to think hard about whether the Ryan contract was going to be a good one. I believe it will, just because of the way he held out to see what his involvement was going to be like on the ice. He wanted more, wanted to be used in different situations. That, to me, means he's passionate and cares about how he plays. There is no question he has talent, 30 goal plus guy most of the time. I think if he is given the slack and responsibility, he'll excel. But, time will tell!
BillM Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 The Sens had all kinds of cap room, they had to sign Ryan, I don't think they had much of a choice..
BillM Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Frazer McLaren, Colton Orr and Korbinian Holzer have been placed on waivers, Nylander headed back to Sweden (Great choice imo)
leaf4 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 I'm surprised to see Nylander go back to Sweden, I thought he was headed to the marlies for sure
muskymatt Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 I thought you guys loved Mclaren and Orr? lol
BassMan11 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I thought you guys loved Mclaren and Orr? lol We do...... just not when they are on the ice to do anything but fight. The con to this is when they are dressed the 4th line only plays 3 minutes a game which gasses the other 3 lines. Its a love hate relationship. Edited October 6, 2014 by BassMan11
Steve Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 The Swedish Elite League is a better place for a young player to develop his skills.
davey buoy Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 I take it the Leafs would still have his rights if he was to come back?,not sure how that works.Would hate to loose a young talent like him.
tb4me Posted October 6, 2014 Author Report Posted October 6, 2014 I take it the Leafs would still have his rights if he was to come back?,not sure how that works.Would hate to loose a young talent like him. We drafted him..He is ours no matter where he plays in the world. As soon as his rookie year starts nothing changes..
Sebastian Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 Get him to Sweden far away from T.O media.
BillM Posted October 7, 2014 Report Posted October 7, 2014 Get him to Sweden far away from T.O media. Yup, and the Swedish Elite league has some talent. He'll do good there.
