Leafs sign TJ Brodie [4 years, 5M AAV]

[Andy007]

So I decided to check out another Leafs forum to see what they thought of Brodie, FA, and the draft.....and I just want to say how glad I am to be here and how much I love you guys...  :-*

No, this one has message boards for all of the teams and a penchant for "lol's" that would put habsforever to shame.

Herman, you truly are the b-hole king

Tanev for 4.5 over 4 to Calgary kind of undercuts the notion that this was an overpay.

I mean Justin Schultz of all people got $4mil (albeit on just a 2 year deal).

Brodie isn't a big PK guy, looks as though he's a second unit guy.

Anyone think we could use another Ceci like PK guy?  Weeger looks like a second unit guy as well.

I'm not sure players are really locked in to 1st or 2nd units based on their past. But this coming season I'd imagine the Leafs would run Muzzin-Holl (or Weegar) first and then Rielly/Dermott-Brodie second.

The more I think about it, the less wild I am about the idea of taking Kerfoot off the roster. He might be .5-1M higher than ideal, but he really played a good utility role.

Can you describe that skill set and what makes it more sought after than what Brodie's?

A little more dangerous offensively, can QB a powerplay.

We have Lethonen for that.

Yeah but the more I think about it the more that maybe we need a defensive forward in that 3C role. Kerfoot looks more like a winger than a C and it that's the case I think it makes some sense to get assets back. You've got to churn the roster and keep getting value back.

This is where Thornton in at $1m or something would be nice. 

I'm still of the opinion that guys like Kerfoot and Johnsson aren't of much trade value right now with all the UFA guys out there for zero talent cost.

 

[Highlander]

I would keep Kerfoot for one more year, keep him at 3rd C and not move him about like a chess piece, his possession numbers are very good.  Trade Johnsson if need be and get Souperman and Dermott signed.

I'm keeping Kerfoot if possible also. Johnsson can go. Nice player but we need the space.

When am I going to learn to not read the comments on Sportsnet. You?d think the leafs just signed Aki Berg to a 100 million contract the way they?re thrashing this.

Simmons actually gives Dubas praise on yesterday's signings, perhaps they can be friends after all and then goes on to say this bonehead remark:  "And in fairness, the Leafs didn?t win all that much this past interrupted season".  I guess they won enough to get into a playoff chance.

I disagree. The season, on a whole was far, far below expectations, and Simmons, despite his warts, has a perfectly valid take.

Is Lehtonen playing the right side in Finland right now?
