[WhatASaveDave]

hopefully for cheap. This guy is still a good possession player

 

[Daisy Jane]

welcome to Leafland, Booth

 

[BonMorrison]

Where does he fit in?

 

[Celly Hard]

good signing, depends on the price though. Anything under 1.5 mil is great!

 

[Stephen]

Don't like it but won't mind if it's cheap and short term.

 

[DopeyFish]

Where does he fit in?

i dunno, we have too many bench warmers

maybe he can pull up a chair?

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

The Toronto reclamations

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Finally got our superstar!!!

 

[prest0]

A friend texted me it's 1-year at $1m but not sure where he heard that

 

[iBlaze81]

This is great news for the Marlies

 

[Paradoc]

Good move I guess?

 

[Kelly]

Why?

OMG I saw him play with the Canucks last year and he had to be the worst..
I remember after one game Torts made a statement that went something like this " Booth was our best player tonight and that says it all as to how bad we played " I was afraid of this and I fear the thought.

 

[shibbiness]

Lupul - Kadri - Booth probably? I'd rather try Frattin tbh.

No idea how the bottom 6 will look.

 

[The Missing Piece]

I'm a little surprised at this signing either veteran leadership on the AHL or a depth signing. It will be a 1 way contract for sure.

 

[SprDaVE]

Meh.

 

[siddy]

One year deal is certainly low-risk, and it gives us another speedy winger to line up on the 2nd or 3rd line. Mason Raymond replacement?

 

[Celly Hard]

Booth fits in our top 9

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Booth is ready to go.

 

[BonMorrison]

He's not gonna be able to do his big game hunting out here tho.

 

[selltrade]

Sounds like Nylander will not be a Leaf now based on this signing. Not a bad thing either.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Legit power forward....in 2009.

 

[Kessley Snipes*]

Low risk move and great possession numbers when he was healthy.
