I agree.

We need him.

Decent contact too.

What can you say about him? I've said that I don't know much about him - never really noticed him. In 2014 he had decent production numbers, and it was also his only year with positive possession numbers, although that year the Islanders were good, and relative to his team, he still was worse than his team. In fact he is pretty much always below relative to his team as well.

He hits and blocks shots. I mean, he sort of balances out to Kris Russell, who no one wants - except Chia. I just don't get it.

Dorion said teams were calling interested in trading for Methot but idea of trading him did not sit right. Decided to leave him for Vegas.

My only concern is his foot speed. The Leafs generate a ton of offence from fast breakouts.. Is he gonna be all Phaneuf back there, or can he quickly move the puck up the ice? I don't really know what to expect from him.

I could have sworn Hamonic's skating was one of his better assets.

I heard Methot, Tanev and Hamonic are forming a law firm when they are finished with hockey. It's going to be called Sh!t Sh!t and Sh!t

So this is why I have great sympathy for Chicago, NJ, and all the other teams who signed guys to BS cap-circumventing contracts:

If the league didn't like them, they shouldn't have allowed them.

I franking wish the Leafs were smart enough to do the same.
- Atomic Wedgie

Always the contrarian Wedgie - Perhaps your shorts are too tight today. There is no team that is hurt by a salary cap league any more than the Leafs. By gaining unfair advantage by circumventing the cap especially where you use up the asset almost fully and then when it contract begins to hurt, weasel out of it and hope that Betman and all the dumb ass owners simply look the other way because it involves Bill Wirtz Jr and a storied franchise. (frank) THAT! THEY USED THE (frank)EN STEROIDS THROW THE (frank)EN BOOK AT THEM.

maybe we can trade them bozak.

He's not overpaid enough, maybe they will do it if we add Kessel's retained salary.
