Got to love the Bruins fans laughing that leafs signed Ritchie (and kase), they forget they signed Foligno?

For the same money the leafs spent on Ritchie and Kase.

Ya, it's AWESOME!

Just want one more on D for the net front shenanigans.

Tinordi maybe? Or one year minimum of Chara? I mean nobody run Campbell with big Z out there and he is cheap. Could be a good mentor for Sandin and Lilibust

Ritchie>Foligno, cheaper and younger. While Ritchie is beating the sh!t out of Chiarot, Foligno can sit around the campfire and with his mates and sing "those were the days"

That Wilson nonsense against the Rags is exactly the kind of thing Thiic Nick puts a halt to.

When Reeves is running around looking to truck Leaf guys he's going to run smack dab into Ritchie ..

And like I said.. he had 15 goals with the B's... He's easily a 20 + goal with Leafs ...

I don't think Reeves for Ritchie is a good trade-off. When a dman like Weber, Chiarot or Edmundson starts the cross-checking non-sense, Ritchie can make them pay. For a goon like Reeves, Leafs can dress Gabriel. Gabriel will get pucnched out but not a big deal.

Gabriel might dress for games where opponent has a knuckle-dragger playing. Trade Mikheyev or Giraffe for a pick.

I like your thinking RR. Either one of those guys is exactly what I'm talking about...

Sandin, Tinordi/Chara could give Sandin the chill level he needs to put it all together this year.

Even Dermott, Tinordi/Chara could work out too.

Grabbing a guy like either of those two is the last move to make IMO.


(Besides signing or trading Rielly...Rielly should take $7m and call it a day. Kessel's $1.2 plus find $800k and done.)

Of the two I’d think Chara. I’d suspect Dermott out then. You can work Chara with Sandin and Lil on bottom pairing. He still is a big presence and if he helps develop Sandin’s physical edge?! Could be well worth it. Plus still has that heavy shot too from the point.

Chara would be ok if he signs a 1 yr deal at $1M or less.

He was one year 795 or something last year in washington so would figure about the same again.

Would be fine. Absolutely love the Ritchie signing, hopefully will still love it when the season is over. Leafs finally get a guy that wins most of his fights. And as a bonus a guy with decent skill.

I love Thicc Nick.. was hoping Murray brought him back... he's a beast.. and Cassidy got him from taking the dumb penalties that hindered him with us.

NO more liberties will be taken against 34 / 16 Willy or JT I can damn well guarantee you that... He's a top 3 heavyweight. Also has a terrific wrist shot from in close and is immovable from in front.. Really good signing...

Went to a fantastic new restaurant last night - Domaine MaMo.

We were talking with the owner afterwards, and he gave us each a free shot of tequila (this was after free limoncello).

I normally do not like (or drink) tequila.

Holy poop, it was good. It was like a fine Whiskey.

Clase Azul

Unfortunately, it is $265 per 750ml at the LCBO.

Damn

for that money, you can get a flight to Cancun... and do the tourist trip down towards Tulum. lots of genuine high-end Tequila there ... best stuff for about 125-150USD a bottle.

You know, I'm convinced that he actually reads what we chat about here. Seems like we're an integral part of shaping this franchise. Now we need rewarded for it in terms of money or .... a PLAY=OFF SERIES WIN.
