Yea, as you say, it's neither here nor there. Bollands gone to the Panthers for 5.5 mill /5 years, thank god for that.

I didn't want him back, so I 'm happy.

Agreed. Dislike greedy players.

I know there is still time, but so far wouldn't you call Bigg's a first round bust? I thought he was even sat out for some of the playoff games for the Marlies. When he did play wasn't he on the third line?

I think maybe we should trade him for another team first line bust type of player and maybe a change of scenery will help both players. Glennie with Dallas maybe

What I'm concerned about is that he wasn't even dressed for the playoffs, warning bells. It was mentioned here earlier, he really has to prove himself this season coming up.

He signed early.. Then he broke out.. Timing.

I think at this point, we just have to hope he develops into a 2nd round pick.

OK, cheap owner, with a RFA player..


And, when did he sign his extension.. Was it not in his second year ?

yeah... I wouldnt be mad if the leafs were paying him 15 mil a year
- senstroll

You always wonder, when will we ever draft that 1 C or get lucky, is it too much to ask for just one.

Has Tavares fired his agent yet, what a blunder.
- LeafMan

JT's is the exact same contract Toews and Kane signed off their ELC's, just has 1 more year.

- LeafMan

that's not fair. you're comparing JT's second contract with Toews and Kane's third deals. you have to compare it to their second as well. and it stacks up. it's just a year longer.

Was in the habs thread. Question was why do people compare toews/Kane to Subban.

I replied they are upper echelon players

They reply I got was they play different positions.



So does Kane and toews

Shanahan says their July 1 was "strategic." Got most of the players they wanted.

Compare the cap numbers when Toews and Kane signed to when Tavares signed, is there a big difference.

Dion=tough defenceman!
- Leafland

Compared to our other defenceman last year he was the toughest (by far)

- bixll

not like they didn't know he was a superstar after year 2. But I think he signed it after 3rd year like most do. Don't remember

EDIT: Sept 2011, so just before year 3.

My point isn't about where they play on the ice.
But Subban is still RFA. Toews and Kane aren't.

Nothing about wingers.. I never said there were 10 better wingers. He came along after an challenges me to name 10 better wingers. So I said no.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Find 10 active players with more playoff points. Not old guys like Jagr or Briere either. He might be the youngest active player with 90+ playoff points.

If you deliver booze, you could put some literature out at the AA meetings.

At Yeti Delivery, we 100% support your efforts to be clean and sober.

But sometimes people enter AA when they don't really need to. Be it pressure from loved ones who don't understand you, jealous co-workers who forced you to go to AA, or maybe even some stupid court order, there are a lot of people who can handle drinking, and can safely ignore any 12-step program.

If that sounds like you, call Yeti Delivery. We are inexpensive, quick, and most importantly, discreet. We'll have that bottle to you in under 40 minutes, and we'll deliver it in a pizza box, so nobody but you will know your business.

Yeti Delivery - because drinking by yourself is still better than not drinking at all.

is this like Bruke saying that they had Rielly #1 overall?

@mirtle: Shanahan declines to comment on James Reimer.

I don't know... I'd love to have him, but that's almost 2 Kessel's worth of money.

That's a bit much.

im not mad

It wasn't your reply I was talking about. Yes he is and RFA and can get offer sheeted as well or arbitration which will look at recently signed deals.

He'll sign before arbitration imho.
