Don't know I'm not privy to that kind of information.

You guys think they could have signed Komarov for under 2 mil a year?
- weirdoh

If you can't sign a fourth liner for less than that much then don't sign him at all.

Not even close. Niskanen can play against top competition, as well as being able to skate.

They're not even close to the same...
- lumlums

Nah, Niskanen isn't that good IMO, he's not a shut down dman or anything, he's not a big hitting dman and he's not a point producing dman aside from one year. he's an all around decent dman who is going to be paid like an All-star. Just my thoughts though

The Flames are beefing up big time.

Yes. They gave him $2.95M just for poops and giggles though.

It's hard to say, I've been in PEI all day???

James Mirtle @mirtle
Leafs were 14th in goal scoring last season so can't really afford step back there. They're going to need Komarov/Clarkson to produce a bit.
- Fruitcakenipple

There's no way Clarkson is as bad as he was last season.

remember how they were 3rd in the east with 15 games left before Bernier got injured?

This team had a good shot at making the playoffs just repeating last year's roster. Now they'll have a better shot.

I like their upgrade so far, but I think they still have some work to do.

Am I the only one here kind of happy that Nonis didn't get too involved today? I know it's still early and there's a lot of work to be done, but a lot of teams have tied up their cap space and won't have much flexibility moving forward, a position he put himself in one year ago. We're still two months away from training camp...

The no hitting league......... where he belongs.

No, he isn't

Wanna bet on this upcoming season? We'll do a vote on this site end of season and see what the braintrust in here says about who performed better and was more valuable to the team

I'm laying $20 on Komarov if u want in...that's all I can afford with these Rogers cable bills lol

I'll paypal u if i lose....promise

Clearly some fool offered him that and leafs had to match to keep him

I'm glad he's back, but let's not pretend it's a good contract
- Big_Lightnin

not many good contracts so far today.. the odd one.. but on contenders.

I wonder what sort of offers Brad Richards is getting.

Figure out yet how to replace Lupul??

Its FAF day and you're more concerned about the leafs than the habs. Makes one wonder what the motivation is.

@Dale_Lamontagne: Robidas says on TSN he may be playing with Morgan Rielly or Jake Gardiner next season.

To be clear, Engelland's AAV is $2.9M. That's per year.

And we are complaining about Komo's contract?
