Mike Augello: Leafs looking to reload pipeline with free agents
- mikeinbuffalo


The Leafs need Ritchie to ride shotgun for Marner and Matthews. You can't have your star players getting rag dolled or punched in the face all of the time. Ritchie could neutralize this tactic. He can also play a robust checking game and go to the dirty area's. Time for Dubas to correct a flaw on the first line. Although Hyman could dig out the puck and make plays along the boards, he couldn't protect the two top scorers on the team. Time to get this fixed.

Huh, Leafs sign Kase 1 x $1.25m. I'm not unhappy with that.

He's not a knuckle dragging face puncher, so of course somebody will be!

But we need a knuckle dragging face puncher to protect Marner.

I like it. If he can stay healthy he can provide some depth scoring.

He’s pretty good… when he’s healthy. This deal is like the Ennis signing, except he’s better.

The guy cannot stay healthy. I was excited for him to be a Bruin, but he just couldn’t stay in the lineup. Look at the amount of games he’s played in the last 3 or 4 year.

Ondrej Kase, signed 1x$1.25M by TOR, was shaping up to be an excellent two-way scorer when he got hit by awful injury problems. Low-risk move by the Leafs with a lot of upside if he can get/stay healthy. #LeafsForever

That's a pretty good comparison. He's a bit bigger than Ennis, but plays similarly - I'd say Kase is faster and Ennis was better on his edges?

I agree with RJ as well - he is just constantly injured, so it comes with risk.

I’m bummed he’s a Leaf, because I can’t help but cheer for him. I’d like to see him get healthy and back to his productive self.

Low risk high reward move. Solid player when healthy. IF he can stay healthy we could see a HUGE gain on this.
