I don't know what they don't like about Leivo, he seems like a decent prospect to me who can score a little
- Rang

Rychel may have pushed Leivo out. I hope he gets a shot with another team.

He makes 600,00 less then Kadri. I'm pretty sure their fans tried to crucify us for his contract

i am pretty sure that any team in the league would be more than happy to have him with that contract
- Dozzer


Makes way more than Carey Price, and his game in the defensive zone is questionable, not as bad as say Gardiner, but closer to Gardiner in his own zone then lets say Doughty or Keith. If you put him on the Pens, should he be the top salary? Black Hawks? I see the point that he is a top point producer on a relatively weak offensive team, but his defense not even close to his offense.

At 11 million a year for two then 10 million for two then 8 million for two and a $9 million a year CAP HIT - yes he sucks large. You might like Heineken for example, once you pay $50 per bottle, its not such a great deal.
- winsix

a 9 million cap....is good considering the points he tallies.

i don't disagree with any of this

i also think that this will be his last big time contract... the habs locked him up for his prime years... that likely was a big part of the salary

Toronto traded their 2nd(John Gibson) & BOS's #1 from the Kaberle(Rickard Rakell) to move up to #22 to select Tyler Biggs.

(frank) me. That's JFJ territory right there.

They should consider grooming someone to replace Don Cherry. He is ancient and can't go on forever. Any coherent ex-jocks that haven't been retired too long?

uhhh he was on the last olympic team
- Dozzer


Not on the lineup for upcoming World Cup, didn't make Team Canada for Moscow, was a late addition for Sochi - he's not a top 5 d-man according to those that run Team Canada - and it's not that close.

Wasn't Shapiro the guy criticizing Anthopoulos for trading away the future of the team?

Wasn't Shapiro's big off-season trade to brign in Storen?

Give the Jays current management group another 2 years or so, and they will be bottom of the A.L.

Go Rogers... way to ruin something that was actually good.

Top 5 Dman in NHL for sure.
What more do you want in a d-man than Subban?

That is much more accurate, and I agree with you. But it is not a good contract for a team that wants to win a cup, unless you are loaded with top young talent, which the Habs are not.

Top 5? He's not even a top 5 Canadian.

He's ok....not worth $9m cap space IMO.

Plus he's a stinkin Hab.

i think it was pretty evident that without price the habs dont have what it takes as a whole

sure its good to have a star goalie... but if your team falls apart with the absence of one player there are problems.... maybe last year was a wake up call for the habs franchise
