Leafs sign Frattin (2 Years, 850k AAV)

[Deebo]

Cap hit goes down, but it guarantees NHL money for Frattin if he has to spend any time with the Marlies.

Does a one-way deal affect his waiver eligibility?

Nope.

A lower cap-hit might actually help him make the team as well.

Coupled with aggressive Bonuses

There are no bonuses on this deal.

Frattin and McClement each for 2 years at a combined 2.35 mil cap hit? Yeah they're minor deals, but smart money nonetheless. I'll take it.

If only we could use the savings (combined with the Armstrong buyout) on a player that would help us win a bunch of games.....

Fwiw I think McClement's role on the pk could do that...

I think you misspelt it. Its called a STEAL

I'm not convinced. Dupuis and Wallin weren't exactly bad on the PK and we still managed to be bottom feeders.

This team needs difference makers, and while I think JVR will help in that department, I think an impact (defensively or offensively) D-man or top 9 forward is still very much in need. That's not even stating the obvious of a #1C or #1 or 2 D.

When Wilson finally got it into his head to work on the PK it started to pick up after that dreadful few months.  I think it was more around the 80% clip.  I think one big advantage of Steckel and McClemment being your two best PKers is that now Grabovski and Bozak aren't wasting themselves on the PK so they have more to give at ES and on the PK.

Jay is several cuts above those guys and should really help in the pk dep't. I'm all for filling those needs but you have to be a bit realistic about it. These are pretty good signings.

 

[bustaheims]

Isn't this what we should be expecting for a guy who hasn't really proven anything yet?

Here's hoping that he'll be due a big raise in 2 years.

Pretty much. I mean, I like Frattin as a player and all, and yeah, he had an excellent playoff run with the Marlies, but, good AHL runs don't translate to big NHL money. This is probably fair money for a guy who put up 15 points and spent time in the minors. Hopefully it proves to be a steal, but, I wouldn't call it one yet.

 

[Brian Glennie]

Seems low. Could be the knee injury.

 

[Omallley]

Decent value for Frattin. Good to see.

 

[maplesyrup]

What a bargain! If Frattin and Kulemin continue to go in opposite directions, this kid could be on the second line.

I agree!

Lol, the Frattin deal was one that I was pleased with. Cap hit is great, hope he can continue to develop.

Oh yeah he's a celebrity on the Leafs, I know.  Complete nobody in the NHL though.  This is a team of nobodies.

Yup. Clearly, you don't really follow the Leafs.
