Good draft and good free agency


I like it
- jbold

I'm still really happy about the Nylander pick.

Stastny wanted to go to.a better team... plus backes and oshie are.there
- DougGilmour_93

Exactly, so it would've taken a lot more than $7M per to get him to sign here.

While i'm sure we all like Komorov. That being said 3mil over 4 years is way too much for a 3rd line player at best (probably more likely a 4th line).
- blahman20

You're wrong. 3M for a 3rd liner is good value. If he ends up being a 4th liner than yes, over paid. If he gets 3rd line minutes and PK minutes then no his contract is fine.

Bolland is an overpaid 3rd liner.

This isn't 2005 anymore. Your valuations remaining strictly to which line they play on doesn't work anymore.

Why do people forget Komo immediately becomes our best PKer?
- mcleafs

3mil per year for a Penalty Killer? Pretty sure Jay McClement is going to come cheaper than that.

Complains about stupid contracts and mediocrity.


Loves Lupul and his broken body and his 5.2 million cap hit....
- jbold

Pair him with kessel, he gets 60-70pts.healthy full season.... so irrelevant

He thinks every player wants to sign with the Leafs, and if they dont, its because Nonis didnt talk to them..
- jbold

I dont, broken legs dont deem 3M...boyle is the healthier individual
- DougGilmour_93

slashed tendons don't deem 5.5 for 5 years.

It's UFA day.

We needed Robidas more than Boyle.

I'm still really happy about the Nylander pick.
- ClarksonDavid

yea Jodie Foster is going to be real good for us

Rielly won't struggle.. You're a Richard just for saying that.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

WOOOOOOO

Komarov


Go cry in the habs thread or something



Maybe those 2 players didnt want to come here?
- jbold

My faith is restored. Amazing job Nonis.

George Foreman guarantee a playoff spot.

3mil per year for a Penalty Killer? Pretty sure Jay McClement is going to come cheaper than that.
- blahman20

McClement doesnt play with the same grit Komarov does.

Komo does whatever it takes to win. Blocks shots, hits eveyrthing.

I don't know about everybody else, but I'd rather have Stastny and Boyle at 11.5 over Polak, Komarov, Robidas, and Frattin at over 10 million plus of mediocre talent!!!! We win again!
- ThePresident

Ok, cool, but Stastny and Boyle at $11.5M weren't an option for Toronto. St. Louis and NYR are both really good teams, why would either of those players choose Toronto for the same offer? Nonis can't just match any offer and we get the player, they have some input too.

3mil per year for a Penalty Killer? Pretty sure Jay McClement is going to come cheaper than that.
- blahman20

Agreed

So would Nonis, but that wasn't an option.

How are you not getting this?
- Big_Lightnin

You guys were all laughing at how much of an overpayment they were, but now you're all singing a different tune with the same amount tied up in mediocre talent.

- jbold

You still haven't explained how they're going to replace his goal production. No one on the Marlies right now projects to score like that, there's no UFA wingers left than can produce what Lupul does, he has built in chemistry if Kessel should they decide to shake up the lines... Unless you want them to play pin the tail on the donkey and find another Raymond, is that what you want?

Pair him with kessel, he gets 60-70pts.healthy full season.... so irrelevant
- DougGilmour_93

"Healthy full season". Like that would happen.


He's soft, and he worries more about catching a tan than he does playing.

You're wrong. 3M for a 3rd liner is good value. If he ends up being a 4th liner than yes, over paid. If he gets 3rd line minutes and PK minutes then no his contract is fine.

Bolland is an overpaid 3rd liner.
- Steven_Dean

Bolland is a much better player than Komorov, and he's getting paid like it. Bolland is a proven playoff performer also. Komarov has played a grand total of 42 games in the NHL and that was two years ago. There isn't much of a comparison.

McClement doesnt play with the same grit Komarov does.

Komo does whatever it takes to win. Blocks shots, hits eveyrthing.
- jbold

Yeah not a chance

Niskanen +33

Phaneuf +3

I'd rather Niskanen on the ice up by a goal.. Or down by a goal... Or tied. Anytime really.

yea Jodie Foster is going to be real good for us
- Smitty98

Haha yes she will. He. I meant he. Shutty.

@Jeffler: Frattin-Holland-Komarov might end up being the Leafs' third line at a lower cap hit than David Bolland on his own

Niskanen +33

Phaneuf +3

I'd rather Niskanen on the ice up by a goal.. Or down by a goal... Or tied. Anytime really.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Why dont you compare teams and who they played with?

That's sad.
- ThePresident

i am too.. robidas is far more stable in his own end

already have more than enough guys who can score on the back end.. need leadership and stability

My faith is restored. Amazing job Nonis.

George Foreman guarantee a playoff spot.


- Bigzby

I got say i ve been impressed today with his moves.

Niskanen +33

Phaneuf +3

I'd rather Niskanen on the ice up by a goal.. Or down by a goal... Or tied. Anytime really.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

He has good partners...Letang, Mattaa....Gunnar, Franson....
