And they have old and broken down Spezza too. So either they will have one slow ass line with all 3 of them on it, or those 3 will slow down every line they are on. But at least they will have experience!!!
Leafs D still sucks.Leafs still look like a team that may do well in the RS but perhaps not so much at crunch time ... but bringing in Joe will not hurt their chances in the postseason, IMO. They'll still be longshots in the playoffs, unless between now and then, they can somehow shore up their weak defensive game.
Am I supposed to read the entire post?I believe I said that.
Kahun, who can get a few assists, with no grit whatsoever in his game and good for 10 goals maybe? Why bring him back? Are Hawks really that desperate?Notable FA's still available
LW/RW Mike Hoffman
LW Mikael Granlund
LW/RW Dominik Kahun
LW/RW Michael Frolik
LW/RW Conor Sheary
LW Ilya Kovalchuk
LW Anthony Duclair
LW Andreas Athanasiou
LW Alex Galchenyuk
C/LW Derrick Brassard
C/LW Erik Haula
C/W Carl Soderberg
D Travis Hamonic
D Sami Vatanen
Anyone your interested in?
I suspect Hoffman goes back to Florida once they settle Weeger situation
I would still like to see Kahun back but also think Galchenyuk could be interesting buy low/1 yr prove it deal
Athanasiou still makes a ton of sense.
They could bury Kampf if they had to.
First he would not be replacing Kampf as Kampf PKs and takes faceoffs. You don't put Athanasiou in your bottom six. The guy was a -45 in 46 games with Detroit but you want to assign him David Kampf's defensive responsibilities?Athanasiou still makes a ton of sense.

Even with Nylander/Suter there's a missing spot in the top 9 imo. Shaw can't be counted on

As of right now, available players for the x spots are Shaw/Nylander/Suter
Kampf is kinda out already. The 4th line is what's crowded, not the top 6.

pretty sure that Janmark will be in the top 9 and he very well may be on Kane's LW to offer some sense of balance and defensive responsibility
I do think we will see a trade or two with our F's before the season starts

Kampf isn’t going anywhere.... yet. He’ll be the 4C again and he’s a good one. Great defensively and on the PK. Can’t remember his FO numbers off memory but I want to say he’s good there too.
Wallmark is far superior player
Why the hell would Kampf be our #4C over him?
And Kampf is great at nothing

Well he is atrocious with the puck
Without the puck he does nothing great and is far from the defensive ace you hold him up to be. He constantly loses puck battles and loses his coverage often
Kamfp nothing special
Atrocious with the puck? He’s not being asked to do anything with the puck. That’s not his role. That’s like complaining Kane doesn’t hit enough.
He absolutely is great on defense and is often out against the toughest competition. How many times have we seen him strong along the boards on the PK keeping the puck pinned and killing valuable time?

Kampf is the type of player we need to keep on the team.
