2015 Summer Housekeeping Thread

[bustaheims]

Thought we could use a thread to discuss the smaller but still newsworthy things the Leafs will be doing this summer.

So, to start . . .

Real_ESPNLeBrun: The @MapleLeafs yesterday filed for Club-elected salary arbitration on Jonathan Bernier. Although contract talks continue between both sides

Wasn't Bernier and the draft rights to his infant son traded to the Oilers yesterday for the 16th pick in 2015?

The Zaitsev negotiations are holding everything else up.

 

[Highlander]

Baby Berniers rights traded from Edmonton to the Lost Vegas Wages in 2025 to be the goalie of the future Stanley Cup champions.  Bet on it!

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Leafs hoping to come to terms with Zach Hyman soon. Also not that far off on re-signing Tim Erixon and Petter Grandberg.

 

[Kessel Run]

It's official now.

Erixon: 1 year, 1 way, 600K.
Granberg: 1 year, 2 way contract.

Erixon: 1 year, 1 way, 600K.
Granberg: 1 year, 2 way contract.

So how good is Erixon?  I didn't really think he was a player to bring back.  Did I miss a great attribute that he has?  PK, shoot out, etc?

He has a pulse, and can play in the NHL.

He has a pulse, and can play in the NHL.

Basically. He's young, cheap and may still have upside. He is a former 1st round pick, so, there is some hope that he's just a late bloomer.

 

[Highlander]

And has some experience as well, for if we dump Phaneuf and Polak we will need someone with a thread of prior NHL time back there with the rookies

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Leafs getting close on RFA deal with Panik

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Leafs getting close on RFA deal with Panik

I'm starting to feel like this will be the big news of the day, other than drafted players.  So much posturing in the press, it's hard to believe anyone will give in and make a deal for any of the Leafs' core players.

The comment by Bob Mackenzie in this video:

gave me pause.  THERE SHALL BE NO HYBRID.

Jeebus no. Mac is speculating pretty hard there, I think the Leafs have been clear about their approach, just because it doesn't happen instantly shouldn't necessitate a re-jigging of the Burkean re-tool.

Don't you mean outgoing?

Is Soshnikov coming over to NA this season?

 

[L K]

Is Soshnikov coming over to NA this season?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest.  He stated that he wanted to come to try and make the roster this year and that he was willing to play in the AHL but that was back in March when Hunter signed him.  Not sure if anything has been formalized.

When he signed all indications were that he was coming over. There's really no reason at this point to think he'd be staying in Russia.
