another one year deal.

love it players have to earn their keep.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

This guy is going to make the team and run with it IMO. Expect a multi-year deal around ~$4mil by this time next year.

 

[J1S]

Zero risk, but the blueline log jam continues to grow.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Nice

 

[Daisy Jane]

I almost forgot we had this guy.
Earn ye contracts, so ye can play here.

Pridham >>>>>>> Loiselle.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

good job signing this guy up, good skill. hopefully he blossoms in our system though

Pridham >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Loiselle.

Fixed.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Fixed.

we should just do this

Pridham ∞ > Loiselle.

(though to be fair, we haven't seen Pridham handle a larger contract negotiation yet, but - I am sure we won't be seeing any buyout proof no move contract type deals from him).

but seriously, I hope this Marincin kid does well.

 

[Joufreau]

cant wait to see this guy play. I feel like I saw him in trade threads from oilers fans constantly before he was traded, as if they wanted to get rid of him. Anyone else notice that? Doesn't give me much confidence in the guy. But I will reserve my judgment until I see for myself. Not at all offended by 1yr/$700k though!

It's almost like he doesn't hand them out like candy

Oilers fans liked the guy. Most were upset he was dealt, let alone for a 4th.

 

[kihei]

He could be a good one for us, and he has the chance to prove it. Fine move. Sure hurts not having a GM, eh?

 

[Budsfan]

It is a one way contract and we now have 7 signed D, not a lot of room for a prospect, so as Babcock says they will have to take a job to have job.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Wonder who sits out between him Hunwick and Robidas?

 

[RyanOhReally]

Value.

He has the potential to be a Top-4 defenceman. People just kind of ignore him as a future piece but he could easily turn into a great player for us.

 

[TheProspector]

Never seen him play, but his stats are that of a good defensive guy. He easily controls the play at a top-4 level based on his Corsi and relative Corsi, and even his -6 in in 85GP in one of the worst defensive teams in modern NHL history speaks pretty highly of him. He's not much in the offensive zone, though. He's pretty much that perfect bottom pair defensive defenceman.

Our pairings now look something like:

? - Gardiner
Phaneuf - Rielly
Hunwick - Marincin

This is probably what Babcock had in mind when he said that we still needed that big, elite #1 defenceman.

Ehrhoff and Franson are good bets.

If someone could so kindly make this link pop up for readers to see. I've been doing my own analytics on the side and I'm excited to see them translate or correlate with the own the puck stats.

He is defensively, but not offensively. His GA prevention is downright elite, though. And it would have to be to only be -6 in 85GP for the Oilers if you're only putting up 1G and 10A.

He's only 23, so should be getting a little better, too. He has never been a big scorer at any level, but he definitely doesn't have stone hands a la Luke Schenn.

Definitely a good pickup for the Leafs.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Good player.

Bet he plays in the top 4 this year.

 

[SprDaVE]

I could see him having an Ericsson-esque kind of role with the Leafs. Not a top pairing or anything like that but played a good amount of minutes when he entered the league and really blossomed.

 

[mix1home]

It was strange for me that Leafs got D from bad Oilers, but thanks to you guys I'm warming up to this deal. Still, why no-D Oilers let this guy go? Fishy.

They also let go of Boyd Gordon who was excellent for them and the type of player they need. It could just be dumb management.

Um, no way Phaneuf is not on the top pairing. He'd be traded before being stuck on the 2nd pairing...

I get Polak (and Phaneuf) being dealt, but why not just put Robidas in that question mark? We won't be moving him likely so just keep him there.
