How I imagine Sens fans reading this:
We had one offseason acquisition though. Which is more than than what the Wings did.
Having said that, i wish we didn't sign Legwand.
How I imagine Sens fans reading this:
Iginla-He's producing enough right now and is worth his contract.
Stuart-He's a fairly effective bottom pairing D
Briere-Better than expected
Redmond-A significant upgrade to our D
On paper Avs got better. In reality their young core players are not producing, and that's killing them.
The Subraction of: Shero, Bylsma, Niskanen, Orpik, Glass, Kobasew, Gibbons, etc has been all amazing for the team.
The Addition of: Rutherford, Johnston (and his assistants), Comeau, Downie, Spaling, Hornqvist, Ehrhoff, Greiss...they've all been better than advertised, Spaling gets a lot of hate, but the guy is consistent at being a forward version of Paul Martin.
But mostly...Downie and Comeau have been awesome, just absolutely fantastic free agent signings and Ehrhoff as well, just awesome and I would like to see all 3 extended 2 more years.
Give me Gibbons and take Sill please
Perreault and Hutchison have been gold.
As a Leafs fan, not sure where to start... The team has practically an entirely new top-6. Komarov, Winnik, Santorelli have all been terrific pick-ups for the team and are all pretty cheap. All 3 of them give the Leafs reliable two-way play, penalty killing and good depth offense, and you know they come to play every night. Panik is from the waiver wire and has been great for the Leafs too, very skilled for a guy in his role and he could come in handy if the Leafs lose a couple wingers to injury.
Polak has been pretty solid, although I'm still not sold on that trade.
Robidas has been okay, the Leafs needed a defensemen like him and he seems like a good presence in the locker room, he has done his job but hasn't exceeded expectations the way the other free agent signings have.
Jury is still out on Booth because he really hasn't played much yet, in terms of GP or TOI.
Volchenkov B
Guy has played solid. Gives us a good physical presence that can kill penalties and stay at home. Can't really argue with this signing.
Mark Fayne - Quality defender. Extremely consistent. Should be getting more icetime.
