lookinforwalleye Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Man I hate to see santorelli go Why....
lookinforwalleye Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Olli Jokinen back with Leo. I likey! He wont be here long...
leaf4 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 They got a good return for those guys considering they weren't going to be able to re sign them, I would've liked to see them get a second rounder or something of the like in there on top of what they got but they did well
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 He wont be here long... why not? did they just grab him to trade? i know Olli is older, at 36 I believe.
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 why not? did they just grab him to trade? i know Olli is older, at 36 I believe. Yep. My guess is he will be gone before the deadline. Most likely for a draft pick of some sort.
lookinforwalleye Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Well I should not jump to that conclusion...Nonis may offer a long term deal.... Nashville just wanted to get his salary off the books and the Leafs had to do it to make the deal...he will be traded I would think for a very low round pick...or put on waivers...
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 gotcha. now that capgeek is down, where else are folks getting their player salary info from? what is Olli's salary? few mill?
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 i'm clearly biased, as I'm Finn background, but $2.5M isn't too bad for what Olli "can" do.
lookinforwalleye Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I think you meant could do....past tense...typically 36 year olds don`t figure in on a team that is going to do a major rebuild...but who knows what the Leafs are doing they have 150 million tied up in 3 players that apparently they don`t like anymore...
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Finns play differently. Teemu is just one example. Finns often play strong until they are 40. He could play as a role model for the youngsters over the next few years.
lookinforwalleye Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Who knows but I doubt it very much...Leafs have big problems that are not going to easily fixed... The Leafs as it stands know have 25.5 million a year tied up in their top four contracts, Phaneuf, Kessell,Clarkson and Lupul...by comparison the Habs have 25 million a year tied up in Subban,Price,Pacioretty and Plekanec... Which four would you rather have??
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 no doubt. I agree that the montreal big four would be much better.
LostAnotherOne Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Just heard the news. I like it. Two UFAs for a first rounder. No bad at all
glen Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Let me know when the leafs are done rebuilding. Leafs draft picks. Lol. Leafs signings. Lol.
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 why? is what when you'll watch again? what is the purpose of letting you know?
glen Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Because they seem to always need a rebuild. The last rebuild got them where they are now. Lol.
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 ok, i'll let you know. but i'm very sure when its time to let you know, you'll already have hopped back on the bandwagon.
bigugli Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I may be a Leafs fan, but I'm not blind. Can't have much of a bandwagon when the mules won't pull the cart. A third of the old mares need to be sent to the glue works. If you want to really shake up the slackers start rotating players up from the farm. They've lost the season already, now is the time to see if they have any real talent in the farm network.
LostAnotherOne Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) I give the Leafs credit. They built a team and gave it a shot, but unfortunately its not good enough. Hopefully there next team that they assemble will be better, but if not oh well I'm still a fan. Edited February 15, 2015 by LostAnotherOne
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 i was at the hamilton bulldogs toronto marlies game last Friday. the marlies won. they are a good team. i'd like to see the hamilton kid, Abbott get the call up.
xxgoaler Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 That would be good to get some of those under achievers to ride the buses for the rest of the season.
Steve Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I would send clarkson down and say see ya in a few years. enjoy the bus.
John Bacon Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) The last rebuild got them where they are now. Lol. Yeah, but during their previous rebuild they traded Tuuka Rask for Andrew Raycroft; 1st, 2nd, & 4rth round draft choices for Vesa Toskola; two 1st and one 2nd round choice for Kessel. Six draft choices and an eventual Vezina winner for two goalies that were not good enough to remain with the team and one controversial forward is not the type of trades that help a team rebuild. In previous rebuilds the tried to make a quick turn around and mortgage the future for short term gain. Hopefully they have the patience to take the time to do it right this time. The fact that they acquired a draft choice in a trade indicates they may actually be serious about a proper rebuild. Edited February 15, 2015 by JohnBacon
Raf Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) jokinen's 'less than thrilled' to be joining the leafs. i can see why but this may be his last chance at resurrecting a career. he will likely get close to 20 mins a game in toronto in order to 'showcase' him before the deadline and if he can produce (and is not dealt by the deadline) may be a able to drive his relatively low value up given he's a UFA this year. he was playing 3rd line minutes (if he was playing at all) in nashville.
