Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] G Martin Jones signs with the Maple Leafs (1 year, $875k)

[Rude Dog]

I have to say so far I'm a big fan of Treliving's work.

There isn't a single thing he's done that I haven't liked.

The worst thing I can say is that Ryan Reaves should have gotten a 2 year contract instead of 3.

That's it, that's a solid job.

Reaves contract length doesn't matter at all. They can bury him if it doesn't work out and it won't count against the cap.

 

[Cas]

But can someone seriously explain to me how you can go 27-13 with an .886 in todays NHL?

Shot suppression and high scoring?

 

[Sheppy]

Who were the first 2.

Probably Kelly Hrudey & Corey Schwab

 

[kihei]

Hey, the Kraken gave him five goals a game support and he was fine. That's all you have to do-- night after night.

Reaves contract length doesn't matter at all. They can bury him if it doesn't work out and it won't count against the cap.

About 200k would count, assuming not picked up on waivers.

STOP SIGNING TRASH NETMINDERS TORONTO, DAMMIT.

[TheImpatientPanther]

Definitely the move that gets them their 6th win of the playoff run.

 

[Drury_Sakic]

Nothing wrong with this deal.

If he does not pass though waivers, nothing big lost. If he does, you get a decent 3rd string option.

 

[Smif]

Worst goalie in the league

Brad T is ass.

Worst goalie in the league has a 27-13-3 record, ya, makes sense.

 

[BallardEra]

Who were the first 2.

Damiani and McIsaac.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Damiani and McIsaac.

Ahh Thanks, you were just looking for cheap UFA’s then, not quality.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Someone smarter than me explain how the Leafs are going to be under the cap when the season starts. 2.9 over now.

Easy. They will have to make some moved. They have to be cap compliant.

He's our #3 goalie.

Every team needs one.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Most likely the Marlies goalie if he makes it through waivers ( or main roster in case Sammy or Woll get nicked up ) . Worse options for a 3 were out there so while it’s not exciting I guess it’s alright

 

[NylanderBros]

Never a bad idea to sign some 3rd string insurance with that much experience

 

[Nothingbutglass]

lol? Freddy was good here went on to make the same money and play good for the Canes. Campbell played good here got a massive deal from the Oilers. Now Samsonov has found his game here and Woll is having a coming out party.

Terrible take.

Really? Both were deemed responsible for playoff failures and chased out of town. They were replaced with progressively worse goalies every year.
Terrible response.

 

[Mr Positive]

so does this official that Murray is tossed on Robidas Island? I thought he was the distant option once he gets healed up

 

[La Bamba]

Can't say anything bad about this signing, he's a decent spare tire with good experience

 

[PB37]

Jones isn't good but the money is cheap and I'm assuming he's an emergency option. The money can be easily buried. The optics may be funny but it's not an awful deal.

 

[Bizz]

Dude was cooked 5 years ago.

 

[josra33]

Tampa picks him on waivers at that price

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Reaves contract length doesn't matter at all. They can bury him if it doesn't work out and it won't count against the cap.

$200K would count against the cap.

PS: @Golden_Jet beat me to it...

 

[biturbo19]

Can't see TOR putting Woll on waivers. Martin Jones will be on waivers before the start of the season and quite possibly claimed by someone at that number.

Yeah. It's such a weird signing to me, from Jones' perspective.

I don't think there's any way Toronto risk Woll on waivers, so that basically just means Jones is going to hit waivers and either end up somewhere else entirely, or in the AHL.


At that price, i'd take a claim on him for the Canucks, just to keep Silovs in the AHL for another year getting more games in and developing. He's better than Spencer Martin as a veteran backup. Pittsburgh also seem like they could use him now that they've moved DeSmith for no apparent reason. Tampa don't even really seem to have a backup, and that's a pretty cushy gig behind Vasy.

Plus any other team that has an injury or hiccups with their goaltending through training camp/preseason.


I guess Jones is thinking there's a chance Woll falters and gives him as good a shot as he'll find at an NHL gig...but it seems like a longshot to me.

Only if they strategy is to rematch the Leafs so they ensure they are the last wildcard team..
