Proposal: Sign Jonathan Toews for 4th line (1-year)

[Cosmix]

This is funny. No way do I want Toews, but Ottawa played Gambrell and Kelly for a combined 110 useless games this year. Then add in all of the useless callups that provide nothing.

It depends on the options available. We currently have 4 roster openings at F (2nd line LW, 3rd line LW, 4th line RW, 13th forward).
Options include:
Debrincat (my preference for 2nd line LW)
Gauthier
Watson
Formenton (my preference for 3rd line LW)
Brown
Gambrell
Brassard
UFA (Toews, Reaves (my preference for 13th F or 4th line RW))
Trade

I am all for bringing in established winning veterans to occupy 2-3 spots on our bottom six. Guys like Perry, Toews, Staal, Spezza, etc have shown how impactful they can still be when put in a limited role.

If we can get a few guys like this for good prices ($1M or less) I think its exactly what this young team needs. A little winning experience and pedigree can go a long way on influencing these youngsters. Just look at the impact Giroux has had on Stutzle.

Spezza didn't do crap with the Leafs. Good post otherwise

25, 30, and 25 pts while on the 4th line is crap? Plus each year he was over 52% in face-offs. I mean its not world beater stats but for almost league minimum I think it was pretty good.

No, please for the love of God, we must not allow this to happen. He's cooked.
