w00t!

Now we need one more Nikita to complete the collection.
I recommend this one:

 

[Deebo]

1 year ELC  + 2 RFA years

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well this came completely out of left field.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

1 year ELC  + 2 RFA years

And in case anyone asks, they had no choice but to sign him to a 1 year ELC per the CBA because he is 24 years old.

 

[Deebo]

Wow, I didn't know he had 7 years of KHL experience.

 

[Tigger]

More good news, sweet.

 

[bustaheims]

Well this came completely out of left field.

Definitely the first any of us have heard about the possibility.

 

[Highlander]

Zaitsev WHO?

 

[ZBBM]

1 year ELC  + 2 RFA years

And in case anyone asks, they had no choice but to sign him to a 1 year ELC per the CBA because he is 24 years old.

Yeah, but what I want to know is why we didn't lock him up long-term?  Doesn't he WANT to be a Leaf?  Jesus, between him and Pouty Matthews we have a real morale problem on our hands.

This continual good news about the Leafs has really upset my equilibrium.

I'm just not sure how to handle all this good stuff.

Thanks for the info - I would have asked.

I'm kinda in this boat. It still hasn't really sunk in that the Leafs have the 1st overall pick. And next year we get Nylander and Marner on the team? Kadri and Rielly on six-year contracts?

It's ludicrous.

No. We've officially gone plaid.

I don't post often, but this is the kind of stuff that keeps me reading all the time.

Kudos.

Always a step behind!

Hey Nikita is it cold? In your little corner of the world, with eyes that look like ice on fire..

 

[azzurri63]

News gets better everyday. Been following this guy for the last couple months every since rumours were he was coming to Toronto. Step right in the top 4 d spots. Looking forward to seeing him in a Leafs uniform.

 

[Kin]

I'm on board.

Ryan Whitney is a top scout in the NHL now, right?
