Confirmed with Link: Brandon Prust signed to a PTO

[Kelly]

He scores 20 this year for Detroit followed by 5 consecutive seasons of 30+

but what about his QoC?

 

[deletethis]

I don't recall him playing a bad game against the Leafs while he was with the Canadiens. Cue up the predictable "face puncher" comments.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

What a troll tweet by mirtle.

The leafs won't have jvr/michalek/komarov/matthews for the majority of camp.

They need camp bodies, and he'll be behind a few waiver eligble guys.

They signed fraser last year and everyone lost their ****.

They also will be missing Michalek, Rielly, Polak, Zaitsev and Andersen.

Missing Komarov + Polak specifically puts way too much of the dirty work on a guy like Matt Martin during pre-season and this move helps protect our youngsters.

its not good with Babcock ... I keep trying to get you to use CRQoC and you keep using QoC ...

"In the next chapter of Metrics We Use, I am going to look at Corsi Rel QoC. For those that need a refresher on the other metrics, please refer to our Metrics We Use page. Corsi Rel QoC is a metric that is used to measure quality of competition faced, but it is much more accurate than straight QoC. QoC sometimes is skewed by puck-luck, whereas Corsi Rel QoC is only weighted based off RCorsi. This makes for a more accurate depiction of quality of competition faced. Like most metrics, the values are generally between +1.00 and -1.00. The higher the number, the stiffer the quality faced. The lower the number, the more sheltered a player is."

Hunwick - 1.796 << #1 for d'men in the NHL.
Fowler - 0.712
gardiner - 0.057 << 140'th among d'man

I've liked Prust since he was with the NYR.

Still have some years left (31yrs old) and he has something to prove so he'll work twice as hard.

He is 32 but I agree with you.

I just activated the thing that tells me when someone has quoted me, I come and see this?

1 strike

 

[ForSpareParts*]

I hope he makes the team.

So much has to happen, but so much will happen.

Could he possibly be a Marlie?

He will be Marlie and is insurance in case Martin gets hurt, my opinion.

 

[Battle Lin]

nice addition to camp, that extra physicality and muscle will help us and the staff determine who is ready for the tough and grinds of the nhl, we have a lot of guys skilled enough imo, but we gotta wait to see if they strong and tough enough

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

It actually makes sense that they are bringing in some big tough guys with a lot to prove for training camp/pre-season when, like others have pointed out, we'll be without half a dozen of our players because of the WCH.

This is just a PTO, it's not a year contract. These two guys probably won't even be kept on for the Marlies IMO but they will be there to show the young guys about work ethic, playing for a job, earning something, and to make the other teams think twice (especially their goons) about showing off their toughness against our rookies like Marner, Nylander etc.

Seems odd at first these signings, but makes sense. I can see other teams starting to look into PTO's to fill spots for vacant WCH players earlier then normal too.

never knew there was something like that , how do you activate it

 

[Menzinger]

I'll be mildly concerned if he gets a real contract.

I thought we were done with those nonsense. Though I'm sure he's just here for camp - maybe he gets a gig with the Marlies

I like the option of having him around even if it was an ahl contract I think it would be good for development

Thanks to Mikec21

 

[Super Mega]

He looked pretty good with MTL, didn't track him much in Vancouver.

Burying Lupul/Greening/Michalek/Laich, and having Prust at the league minimum on the roster likely clears $350,000 to $400,000 of cap space. If he performs at camp it will be at the detriment of one of those 4 players not a youngster.

 

[Stand Witness]

I have no issues with Prust signing a contract and either starting in the minors or being a press box body.

Prust is actually a really good guy. He does a lot in the community around London and has supported and helped a kid(s) with cancer for years now (I can remember this from 12-14 years ago now as it was a kid who was quite a bit younger than me at my public school and Prust came to our school more than once).
