What?
also did Lou talk?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Vets for the Marlies

 

[BertCorbeau]

NHL deals or AHL? Seems like wasting contract spots?

 

[Sergei Berezin]

We'll never see those guys on the Leafs, but I find it odd they gave them 2 year deals... starting to creep up on the contracts that we once had an infinite supply of...

Surprised they brought Greening back, but I like him.

 

[Mr Hockey]

These are all Marlie signings

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Guess Timashov and someone else will rot on the 4th line/healthy scratched..

 

[Menzinger]

Always liked Greening - came across as a smart guy in interviews, hope that rubs off on the younger players

 

[Bullseye]

Who are Mueller & LoVerde?

 

[Magic Man]

Only part that gets me is why was it necessary to switch the younger better Griffith to Mueller. Sub him into this scenario and it looks better.

Always liked Greening in Ottawa as well. He's a ridiculously fast skater for his size (dude is jacked af) and has some offensive upside. He was terrible value at a $2.65 cap hit but at $750 for one year I don't think you can go wrong.

Who are Mueller & LoVerde?

[Yt]bwXKrH0tCTU[/MEDIA]

Vincent LoVerde, highly thought-of captain of Ontario Reign. AHL vet D. Sad to lose him.

 

[LeafChief]

Need veterans for the Marlies.

 

[Hoverhand]

Isnt the Marlies defence core pretty full atm?

 

[Unhealthy Scratch]

Mueller makes a lot of sense. The Marlies were looking scarily thin at center. Greening, too, if he stays at C.

Don't know anything about LoVerde, but by the sounds of it he'll be something of a Campbell replacement. Seems to have more of an offensive touch, too.

Isnt the Marlies defence core pretty full atm?

Borgman-Rosen
Dermott-LoVerde
Nielsen-Holl
Valiev

Other than those 7, I don't think anyone is signed? Maybe Lindgren?

4th line C injury replacement?

If Dermott makes the big roster, then it's a bit thin. I think Nielsen, Holl and Valiev(who is waning) are the only younger guys there who can eat minutes.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

All three will be just Marlies, Greening could be a Leaf only if deep in injuries.

In the AHL, they are allowed to carry extra players on the roster and can only play on any given game a limited number of "overage players". Carrying eight Dmen is the norm in the AHL

There salaries have no affect on the NHL cap hit even if they are with the Marlies.

Arent Borgman and Rosen coming over.

Apparently he's a workout warrior. Maybe that can rub on Bracco and others.

 

[Stigma]

You know, I thought he was pretty good in his short stint with the Leafs. I was surprised that he didn't get any call-ups last year.

 

[SprDaVE]

Solid depth additions. All Marlies Bound.
