So does this mean no Franson!?

 

[Leafidelity]

Dubas signing

 

[SprDaVE]

So many defenders now. I understand depth is good but I really don't think we need that many NHL ready defenders.

I hope this means what I think it means...

 

[Leafs at Knight]

So does this mean no Franson!?

Hopefully.

 

[AuraSphere]

Why...... Are we never going to let Percy stay for good...?

 

[timlap]

Term is ok. Money is ok. Have no idea whether he'll be a useful player for us, but risk is low.

 

[I Believe]

Flippable at the deadline.

I like it.

 

[WhatASaveDave]

Good signing, pretty solid delta corsi player

 

[francis246]

Dammit.. Would have really preferred Franson. But oh well. I guess Franson was commanding too much on the market. This could also mean that one of the d-men are on their way out?

P.S. The Robidas signing is looking worse and worse..

 

[4thline]

Phaneuf
Reilly
Gardiner
Polak
Marincin
Hunwick
Robidas
Erixon

Percy/ Brennan/Loov

So 11 NHL or NHL ready d-men, more moves to come?

Lots of flexibility there.

 

[67Cup]

The kind of player who can be traded for a positive return at the deadline next spring

 

[Pi]

People it's July 1st. Season doesn't start for another 3.5 months. Lots of time to trim roster.

 

[showtime8]

I don't mind this signing.

He works hard and is on a good contract.

Problem with this is that he's in the mix among 6 other players for a bottom pairing role. Wonder how they're going to separate this.

 

[Guy Boucher]

Stood out to me whenever I watched the Rangers. Pretty quick skater, good decision maker.

Maybe their way to address defense is dressing 8 d-men.

For the most part, defenseman are a good commodity to have.

Leafs the prospects with the Marlies until they aren't 3rd. pairing defenders in the NHL.

 

[Number13]

And also Granberg.

Maybe Tom Nilsson.

I'd like to see Nilsson get at least one relatively injury-free season with the Marlies before NHL consideration.

 

[kihei]

Lots of bodies on D. Pretty much have to get rid of somebody. Let's see....who should it be?

 

[kihei]

Frolik goes to Calgary. Nice little team coming along there.

 

[Maple Leaves]

I like this as a depth signing, good skater and puck mover to have on the 3rd pair. Rather have him in the lineup than the young guys, let them play lots of minutes in the A.
