Leafs to sign Ron Hainsey

 

[Jozay]

Meh, hopefully less than 2m aav

 

[McMatthews]

Ron Hainsey led all UFA skaters in ice time.

22+ minutes a game last season.

 

[TheProspector]

A two year contract with a 36 year-old d-man who is not better than Hunwick, who ironically will likely be going to Pittsburgh.

I'd rather try our luck with a kid from the Marlies.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Hunwick replacement.

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

Hunwick is better though

Depends on the ($) - he's coming off a 2.5 mill deal. I'm going to say 2 years 4 mill

 

[Marlander93]

Hunwick is better though

Not a chance. Also Hainsey brings much needed size.

 

[McMatthews]

Hunwick is better though

No, he's not.

This doesnt stop any Marlie from playing on the Leafs, if they are good enough to do so.

Mentor and stability

 

[Bullseye]

950k aav please

 

[thewave]

Cheap patchwork year.

 

[Neil Hamburger]

36 years old, I hope his legs hold up. Not a fan of a two year deal, but if it's cheap it doesn't really matter.

 

[McMatthews]

Good move.

Hopefully cap hit is under $2.5M.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Ok signing.

Per @PierreVLeBrun, Ron Hainsey expected to go to TOR.

New player development coach for the Marlies you mean? I guess Robidas will vacate that position now his contract is up?

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

WHen a younger guy like Kulikov is out there and plays a more physical game and you go for a 36 year old thats not a good sign

 

[gamer1035]

He's left handed?

Whats the point, I'd rather have a younger guy get a shot.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

2 years? It had better be cheap as dirt. He's a sidegrade on Hunwick and 4 years older.

 

[Steven1562]

Hopefully cap hit isn't too high. Think Hainsey can be a solid depth signing.

 

[PromoterDave]

Stanley Cup Champion. Went for a second round pick in Feb. Better possession #'s than Hunwick last year and plays big minutes

 

[member 262271]

I don't love it, but more depth is fine.
