Few tidbits from the articles on The Athletic:
- Signed here because we were the only team to offer the 4th year.
- Godin reinforces the fact that Toffoli can play LW. Would have him on the Suzuki/Anderson line. (which kind of reminds me of the VAN line he played on based on player roles)
- His handedness and the fact he can play both wing adds a lot of flexibility for CJ.
- Points out that in the last 5 years, Toffoli only has 1 fewer goal than Hall on the PP (in 200 mins less of ice time).
- Like I pointed out when the signing broke out, bumper role suits him. He mentions the fact that he was good at creating plays too from that position, not just scoring.
- Wonders the impact of the faster Eastern Conference on his skating.
- Basu makes a throwback to that Price interview about him losing patience and says this off-season should not only boost Price's morale/confidence but also demonstrates the belief that MB has on this team following their playoff series.
- Quality two way player, led the league one year in short handed goals. Very clever at getting open.
- Basu, like me, projects a Lehkonen - KK - Toffoli line. Also mentions possibility of a Toffoli - KK - Armia line.
