Confirmed with Link: Habs Sign Tyler Toffoli (4 Years @ $4.25M AAV)

[BehindTheTimes]

I like this move. Pretty good deal, I’m not huge on Toffoli, but he’s one of the better options left. Good move by MB here.

 

[Gustave]

Do I read that correctly, he took a paycut?!

Yes. Four years ago this guy was the futur of the Kings but the injuries pilled on.

If he’s healthy he’s a damn good winger, again great set of hands.

 

[Dharvey33]

That’s who I wanted all along very happy with the deal we now have 4 legit 25 goals scorer in Tatar Anderson Toffoli and Gallagher. We are going to be much tougher to play also.

Toffoli was producing in a very defensive system in LA we will love him here.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Bergevins brain is expanding by the szn boys 25 year plan is moving forward

 

[CHwest]

I wouldn't call him a thirty goal scorer, but he is a hard worker and has size. The type of player we need!!

 

[De Montreal]

But Armia on the 4th line seems redundant. Can he play left-wing? Or can Anderson or Toffoli play left-wing?

Drouin - Suzuki - Anderson
Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Toffoli - Kotkaniemi - Armia
Lehkonen - Evans - Byron

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Byron has to be on way out. Cant pay that much for a 4th liner

 

[Kwikwi]

Caufield will have to starting sniping from LW, Lockjams on RW

 

[le_sean]

Would much rather have Hoffman but it is better than nothing. Kudos to Marc, thought he was done for sure.

Hoffman was never coming to Montreal with his “history”

 

[JoelWarlord]

Genuinely stunned by this. Excellent move, good player at a great price at a position of need with very fair term taking him from 28 to 32. Didn't expect a move like this at all and very happy to be wrong about it.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Well there’s goes Ovechkin next year.


Lol. Kidding. I’m pleasantly surprised he got one of the bigger fish to address the scoring. Still would have preferred Hall or Hoffman obviously but this is cheaper and still a solid signing.

I expect some tinkering to the bottom line maybe and then teams set, with better depth than last year. Good job by Bergy here.

 

[Tabarouette]

Omg we did something that everybody likes!!!!!

just wait for the posts about MB taking TOO LONG to sign him

 

[1909]

Of all the remaining UFA scoring forwards, Toffoli would had been my choice. He's gonna fit well with the rest of the team. it will give also MB some options if he wants to trade one of Drouin or Tatar or Byron down the road.

 

[ForeverHabs97]

MB: ALL IN WITH A PAIR OF 5
Let's go show me the money baby!

 

[Redux91]

I LOVE IT!!! way to go Marc!!!

 

[Johnny31]

Best move off the off season

 

[waffledave]

This hopefully means no more Weal on the PP ever again.

Although it's not always accurate, NHLRumors did have this last night:

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I really like this signing, very good price too. I have been wanting to get him for a few years now. I find that under the right usage, he could blossom (which he never really got in LAK).

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yo I’m so happy wtf


Really liking the off-season moves with Anderson and Toffoli. That’s a big boost to our offense.

 

[HabsTown]

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Toffoli-KK-Armia
Byron-Evans-Lehkonen

Pretty happy with that forward group

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Great contract. Great player.

really happy about this! GOOD job MB

 

[Clumsyhab]

Too many RW. Which right-handed winger is gonna play on the left side?

 

[Maitz]

Is that signing a proof that tatar danault gallagher will not re sign? we don’t have any cap space now

 

[stanley25]

Very good signing but imo this is still a below average team
