Sounds like a player who wants to win a Cup to me...

I was not expecting him to sign for $700k at all. Even Koivu got $1.5mil.

Nice touch!

Well how about that. I like this signing but I didn?t think it would happen.

I think I like it even more because Burke was crapping all over the idea yesterday.

Exciting news!! I rushed here to see how excited Carlton was with the news~

No risk contract. WTG Dubas

Definitely and all the other crappers. If this move can allow Kerfoot to go up on the wing, bonus!

Yeah, I'm shocked at 700k. 3rd line center?

I figured he'd want/get closer to Simmonds deal.

PRETTY EXCITED

This is fun.

This is fun.

Definitely the funnest deal of the offseason. I assume we can now sign Chara for another 700k.

 

[Kin]

Well, my track record about always being wrong about these things continues strongly.

It's gonna be really weird seeing him in a Leafs uniform. He played so long for Boston and then SJ you got used to seeing him in those jerseys. This is like Ron Francis 2.0

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander
Mikheyev-Thornton-______
Robertson-Spezza-______

With the blanks behind filled by likely Simmonds and one of Engvall, Vesey, Barabanov, Korshkov, Boyd, Anderson, or one of the other many randos we have under contract.

Chara can suck it.

Old man fight between Thornton and Spezza to see who wears 19?

Barabanov and Vesey will be the guys. I think Kerfoot stays with Thornton unless Mikheyev can't handle 2LW.

Over Simmonds? I sure as heck hope not. And vesey sucks.

Lord this is crazy. I don't LOVE the idea of having two pretty aged centres down the middle but we are dying for centre depth and this gives it to us for the time being. They just have to really lean on the top two lines for offense and figure out how to deploy the other two.

I live in St Thomas. I wonder how fast the sports bars can redecorate. ;D
