I'm happy with Kase and Ritchie signings. Time for some of the prospects to make the roster too.

The word is that they were worried that he would win arb and cost too much.

There is also a reason the leafs didn't keep Foligno right? But Boston signed him for more than Ritchie.

- burn

Boston paid 3.8 for Foligno, Ritchie wouldn't gotten that so they clearly think Foligno is better.

The leafs tried to keep Foligno and he said he almost signed, but they couldn't offer him as much as Boston and he went for more money essentially

I'm glad. Foligno isn't worth that.

Big win to have Ritchie at 2.5 than Foligno, let alone Foligno at 3.8.

With all these signing it's pretty clear that guys like Robertson will bet left in the ahl to grow and develop.

Water polo seems so much more greasy than you'd think. I saw a bit and they're trying to drown each other lol

Beautiful girls trying to drown each other is an Olympian sport?

Nice to see how the world is developing

I guess we'll find out. There has to be a reason why Boston didn't qualify him and signed Foligno over Ritchie right ?

I'm not sure he can keep up with out top 2 lines

- Archaic

He'll be fine.

Foligno offers a better defensive game which may be what Boston is looking for. Maybe they also want to have some veteran leadership?

Maybe Ritchie wanted out? Who the (frank) knows.

IMHO, he fits what the Leafs need more than Foligno at this point. And he's cheaper. Yay!

I think there's room for Brooks and Sandin/Lilybust.

You've got to think one of Soup or 🦒 is not on this team when training camp starts.

I'm also a bit nervous about our 3rd pair. Running Sandin/Dermott out there is not going to be a good look.

Agreed. We need a vet to plug in on the bottom pair

I guess, since they signed him as a UFA rather than trading for him, that's how it works.

Kase will most likely spend a good portion of the season on the IR...so im sure brooks or Robertson will get some games

Sandin and Lilly are already there(dubas said that ) and based on the current roster.

I don't know where broons fits at this point, I like him but I don't know where he fits.

Yup, we need another Bogo-type who can also kill penalties.

Being that Sandin and Liljegren are both waivers exempt, I'm thinking they're going to be up and down a bit this season.
