Confirmed with Link: Maple Leafs Officially Sign Calle Rosen | Also Sign Andreas Borgman.

[FlareKnight]

Good for the Leafs. Keep signing guys. Finding players overseas is a good way to keep adding to the pool of talent. Draft, sign, and trade. Use everything at their disposal to get better.

 

[Menzinger]

Very nice. Hope to get good value out of them

 

[Duffman955]

Borgman looks good. Only 21 as well.

 

[Drew311]

Borgman was the real deal last season. Hard to tell if these guys will have what it takes to transition their game to the NHL, but nevertheless two good signings for us.

Any scouting report/NHL comparables for Borgman? I can't find much online.

 

[Macallan18]

In other news, my sources (can't name them) have confirmed that on Friday the Leafs will announce that they signed the rest of Europe too. Like, the continent itself and everything it contains.

so the European part of Russia too?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Whoop Whoop!

It's a start to addressing our defence. Hope the trend continues bs these two can impress.

 

[The Podium]

Looks like competition for that bottom pair LD between Dermott, Rosen and Borgman

 

[Macallan18]

it's maybe not as important that media and fans make it out to be.

Sorry, I think it is from the numbers. And I think from his usage Bobcat thinks so too.
(lol Bobcat. The only good thing Romanuk has ever done in his life. Of course, could be the Margarhitas talking)

 

[TimeZone]

Free prospects.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Waiting for Holm info?

 

[Eb]

Free prospects.

Free wallets???

 

[The Podium]

Waiting for Holm info?

Holm was probably a mistake from the Swedish end of things. If he was signing they probably would have announced it with these 2.

 

[Schenn]

Cy-Borg Man!

 

[Mr Hockey]

 

[Macallan18]

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships..

 

[Bullseye]

Being as I know nothing about any of these guys, is Holm considered to be the best of the 3 at this point in time? Most NHL ready?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Free wallets???

I know people hate the term but seriously I do enjoy when we sign these types of players. Nothing wrong with trying to improve the team and there's virtually no risk.

I like the signings and this tells me that they have Rielly most likely slated on the Right side going into next season and are encouraging internal competition.

Of maybe a deal in place to ship Gardiner out? For a RHD? Trouba?

 

[MagicalRazor]

Borgman holy CRAP, Hes young lot of time to develop into something . Our staff sure drive a hard bargain

 

[SprDaVE]

Hard to know how they will translate to the AHL/NHL but it looks to me like Rosen is slated to replace Marincin as at least the #6-7 defenseman. Borgman will very likely start in the AHL.

 

[CelticDruid]

Great for us long time leaf fans, we are being rewarded for all our years of pain.

Well done TML .

 

[htpwn]

Awesome! Reports linked upwards of 5 teams to Borgman and 3 (incl. Chicago) to Rosén. We managed to scoop up both.

Their age is also promising. I'm assuming both intend to compete for a roster spot but at 21 and 23 respectively, each can afford a development year if necessary.

Wonder if a Holm signing is still coming or whether that was just an error on the part of the Swedish press.

 

[Morgs]

We might have the 2nd best rookie in the SHL after the draft as well, Lias Andersson is great and he'll be right in our range.

You know Bergman had his fingerprints all over this signing.

Gardiner's days are numbered, Leafs don't need his brain cramp mistakes, my opinion.
