Free Agent Pursuit Thread(No You-Know-Who)

Poulin blaming Clarkson on the Clarkson contract on TSN. Said the Leafs signed him to be a high-end 3rd line winger, and he started trying to play like a top-6 winger on the Leafs. Took 0 responsibility for the contract being a bust.

I can't believe another team hasn't hired him yet!

Well, Friedman retweeted that the leafs are "kicking tires" on recently bought out Wisniewski.

Sure but it's important to note how something like that would come about. The Leafs calling an agent and saying "How much is he looking for?" makes sense. It's just gathering information. Then the agent tells Friedman and Friedman tweets it and gathering information becomes the Leafs in hot pursuit in some eyes. If I were running a team I'd make that call about every single UFA every year.

Yes, I know how the game is played. I posted in support of Bustaheim's point.

Every part of that statement is ridiculous. Every part.
 
There's a report/rumour Radulov has signed with Montreal, but there's been no confirmation yet.

Alex Radulov to Montreal is a done deal.

No idea who this tweeter is...


Edit: oh, there's already a thread: http://www.tmlfans.ca/community/index.php?topic=3950.0

I might be missing someone, but Buffalo seems like the only team without 2 NHL goalies signed.

Can't find anyone else either. The only other two teams with maybe room for improvement and expiring contracts after 16-17 would be the Islanders and maybe Philly.
 
With Ladd gone to the Islanders, and Lucic probably signing with the Oilers, I think that once Okposo is done, then might be the time to trade JVR.  I still think a deal with him and Bozak to Minnesota makes sense.

Now that they've signed Staal, probably not so much anymore.

Looks like they are still looking for a winger:

Yeah. It's the Bozak part of the suggestion that doesn't make sense anymore.

Agreed.  I was hoping the Leafs would send them out together as a "They play so well together" package.
