Confirmed with Link: Bodie signs! (1 year @ $600k)

[crump]

This is what I like about Bodie. He hustles, blocks shots, has excellent speed on the for-check. He'll drop them when he needs too, although nobody would ever call him an enforcer. Just seems like a perfect fit on the 4 th line.

Hard worker.

Some more bottom six competition.

Frattin/Clarkson/Bodie/Ashton fighting for the 3 RW spots.

Santorelli can also play RW and could end up as 2nd line RW.
Some of these guys listed above can also play LW.

Thanks for your valued input.

This Bodie signing is for a 4th line player. Not every signing is going to score 50 points.

What do you suggest we do?

He's a 4th LINE ROLE PLAYER....you don't expect him to put up loads of points.

Some people are so stupid and don't know a thing about hockey. It's called a role player. Bodie is great.

He's very good at his role and a good addition to the 4th line.

I do wish he was a bit better at fighting since he's very willing and will likely be our most active next season but meh. He'll survive.

In August 2013, Bodie married Francesca Leiweke, the daughter of Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment president, Tim Leiweke

Bodie is his son in law, but he plays with heart, grit and determination, and he earned another year!

Every team needs hard working 4th liners and love this kids work ethic and size!
