I'm not really sold on Kreider. He was supposed to come in and play solid as he was a bit older but has been up and down (although young) so I was meh on him but big fan of Williams and helps add another top liner.

I didn't know a whole lot about Kreider until this season, I like his skill set, size and physicality. Williams is due for a hot streak.

I think money was the issue.

Deal.

HIs countries team offered him almost double the amount the Leafs offered but he said in a interview a couple weeks ago that money wasnt the issue,he thought if he played for his country this year he had a better chance at getting more ice time playing and that would turn into a spot on the oly team..

Which it did and he's played great. Hopefully we can sign him for a few years and have a 4th line of Komorov-McClement-D'Amigo/Orr/McClaren. One of McLaren or Orr should be kept I think.

More money than the Leafs offered him. He also wanted to play for a team that offered him more icetime so he had a better shot at making team Finland.

I think him an Kuli play similar roles (other than Leo agitates a little more)...be really cool to keep both, but if you gotta trade Kuli to sign Leo, then do it...

[quote=Nucker101]He's a decent role player for sure IMO, why didn't the Leafs re-sign him? Money issue or did he wanna play closer to home for a year?

Leaf cap room played a role as well as he was asking for too much $...take out Frazer and Orr's $, as well as the expiring buyout $ and pay him his 2 mill

Kulimen > Komarov

Komarov wouldn't have made Team Russia.

Wow, we are still paying Tucker?? lol... I never understood his buyout, why not just let him playout the final few years of his contract? He wasn't that bad. At least he still had the 'crazy eyes'....

More like, if they can't resign Kulemin, or trade him because they couldn't resign him, then they can go ahead and look at Komarov.

Holy sh!t I finally logged into my fantasy team, which I completely forgot about, to find out I'm in 16th place. Not bad considering I've had stank is on my team all season and haven't made a single move all season.

I finally made some roster changes!
Look out!
