Not one of the 5 FA

Gordon, Clarkson, Horton, Scuderi and Ference

Pick 2
- senstroll

without overpaying? I cant.

but if you insist.. gordon.. and ference

the other 3 will simply cost too much.. i bet they get absurd contracts

Surely the Leafs can find an upgrade on Hamilton can't they?
- TML60

whats wrong with hamilton in a third line role?

nothing imo.

no no no.. i am just saying i wouldnt pay him like a 30 goal scorer

its his intangibles that impress me the most honestly
- Dozzer

ok then..that makes sense.

phew...

I am ok with 4.5 x4 years for him

I will throw this out

Sign Boyd Gordon
Clarkson or Horton
Scuderi or Ference
Keep 1 of Grabovski or Bozak
Macarthur gone

I prefer Gordon over Brent, if we have to go with Grab, Kadri as 1/2 so be it
- senstroll

I'm with you Senstroll. Make it happen.

Kulemin had a lot of PP time in his 30 goal season.
- honesthockey

THIS

5th on the team with well over 200min

never knew why they took it away from him.. never could figure that out.

- senstroll

me too.. but i think he will get more on the open market

If they were 3-4 seasons ago with drop off I'd say it's a problem but it's been the last two NHL seasons. No reason to think it can't continue.
- honesthockey

I would say it would be easy to say it HASN'T continued already.

Also you could have said the same of Kulemin.

Not that fast and didn't provide much in the way of offense at the NHL level. He was great with the Marlies. Decent player but I think we should set the bar a little higher than that. Just my opinion.

Because he no longer deserved it.

man oh man.... its always offense with you guys

hamilton wouldnt be there to score.. he would be a shutdown defensive type role.. which is very much suited for at the NHL level

and dont hand me this about speed either.. Fraser is slower than migrating dirt but he makes up for it with positioning.

me too.. but i think he will get more on the open market
- Dozzer

That's the issue I have as well. Sure, offer him 4.5 max and if he takes it great, but I don't see it happening.

- Dozzer

based on gonhar and streit you are right

I am not completely ignoring it but Zajac+Elias>Grabo+Mac/JVR

(+ the fact that Clarkson is on NJ's 1st PP unit)
- markmark

*cough* Kovalchuk *cough*

Because he no longer deserved it.
- Atomic Wedgie

5 PPG and 9 PPA

tough to call that "not producing"

I would say it would be easy to say it HASN'T continued already.
- Dirte

based on gonhar and streit you are right
- senstroll

thats why the smartest move would be to target the effective secondary guys in FA

like Hainsey, etc.

- Dozzer

Because he looks funny

Because he looks funny
- AdamFrench

THAT.... I can buy into

- honesthockey

He scored thirty goals one season. 10 in the first 10 games of the next. Then barely anything for 30 plus games. That's half a season off the scoresheet.

close to 40 games.

THAT.... I can buy into
- Dozzer

He and Grabo seem to do well when they are having kids...Big Dion! Get on it, we need 50 CC's of man juice stat and eggs to fertilize!

judging by his voice his balls havent dropped yet so i wouldnt count on him

- Dozzer

No, not all about offense with me. But I'd rather have Clarkson on the team instead of Hamilton. I'm not saying Hamilton wasn't a good role player and I like role players as much as the next fan. I'm just saying the Leafs have to upgrade at whatever position they can to keep improving. Every other team will be looking to upgrade at whatever position they can too so the Leafs shouldn't be satisfied with the status quo.

meh ...Hamilton is a nice little story but he's played 12 NHL games at the age of 28 for a reason. Leafs can do better on the 3rd line.

like Hainsey, etc.
- Dozzer

Hainsey is garbage except in his contract years, sign him for 1 year

Agreed. As someone mentioned earlier, a partner for Gardiner.

Pha9-Gunnar
Gardiner- (A reliable defender who can also make a decent pass)
Franson-Fraser
