woodenboater Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 guess they want to take some pressure off Matthews. but yeah, defense was the hole that needed to be filled.
BillM Posted July 1, 2018 Report Posted July 1, 2018 Where are these mythical D men that were ready to sign?
leaf4 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 Who needs defence when you have this much offense! ?
grimsbylander Posted July 2, 2018 Report Posted July 2, 2018 It's not everyday a player at JT's caliber comes along and wants to play on your team enough to leave upwards of $14M on the table. Let him go and shop defense? lol Tavaras with Marner & Matthews with Nylander...Ohhh yeah!
BassMan11 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Posted July 3, 2018 Matthews Tavares Kadri down the middle isn't a bad problem to have. The Leafs think they can fill the defensive void internally with players they are developing in the AHL. Also there was not a big UFA defensive defenseman on the table July 1st. A Babcock quote from 2015 on the day he was hired: "Once we make it safe, they’re coming home. Mark my words, they’ll be coming.” - Speaking about Ontario born players. 1
