Well they got Polak, pretty much replaces him with a slight upgrade.

trash

What about Del Zotto? Nashville doesn't seem like they're qualifying him

Are you freakin kidding me?
Buying out Gleason.

Jesus, Nonis you are an idiot.
- Fakepartofme

overpaid and bordering on useless ... its goo that hes not on the team anymore..sucks for more cap hit for nothing

Should have waived dion and kept Gleason


you can't make this stuff up.

Gleason couldn't skate, he was traded away from playing on the bottom pairing of one of the worst defenses in the NHL, he's the second highest paid defenseman on the team and probably the worst. I don't get it.

trash

I'd prefer neither, but meh.

its Polak for Georges

I just realized, who will play with Subban with no Gorges? Are the Habs hoping Emelin's recovery continues? Seems like a risk for top pairing...
- mcleafs

They just gave Markov #2 money, so I'm gonna assume it's him

would not shock me to see it be McLaren. McKenzie said it was a roster player, but that it's also a salary dump for Montreal. Montreal can just bury his salary in the minors.

only 900k of it.

Leafs fans do this more than any other team on earth - take a guy who absolutely sucks, and hone in on his best stat (no matter how obscure it is) to justify their undying love for the guy.

Gleason was given 16:57 of ice time last year per game. That's less than Liles got.

In other words, he was trusted less than Liles.

Yet he blocked shots, so the Leafs now have a huge hole in the lineup that will be impossible to fill. Because, you know, Gleason blocked shots. Less than two a game, but it's still a really, really important stat.

I just hope we get back Komarov. Sure, he was a 4th liner, but that guy could trash talk in 5 languages. Five languages! He's a real difference maker.

It's the stupidity that unites us all.

Actually played better in the beginning with more minutes and pairing him with rielly didnt really work out

This season is going to be a disaster. They'll be drafting 10th next summer.

Can we forgive Burke of whatever he did and rehire him before Nonis ruins us??

The one guy who actually play some D and clears out the front of the net.

I wasn't saying anything against your wife.
