Always thought this guy was gonna be the next Brad Park. I expect him to be a Adam Foote with a offensive flair

That would be real huge again for the maple leafs sire They surely found all the right young, and even mo vetter players this summer. Great job on this part by dubas and also correcting some of his human errors. I real like the thug aspect miself sire. He brang in some true o'g's like gabriel (with mikayla demaiter), ritchie and butning, keeping simmonds in. The leafs are going to be a hard club to play against next season. They going to make others pay the price hard. That's key and was a real identity of the old leafs teams like pat quinn and pat burns. Hell, even randy carlyle had his warrior squad. Big time. Now dubas is accepting mine and theirs perspective and the truth. You got keep the thugs in. That is the only way to win, period.

Nice Pick Up.

A potential steal.

Don't know why Bergevin didn't make a pitch for him. His style of bargain bin, a cheap offensive rhd.

Interesting to see his demands change quickly, he refused to sign without a one way deal. Apparently getting traded for a conditional 7th was the wake up call for him to adjust those demands.

The difference is that TOR is paying him much more than MN in the AHL. The $100,000-150,000 extra might not be a lot of money to a NHL'er but to him that's probably a big deal. He also was open to signing a two way with MN, as long as it was part of a two year deal that had the second year as a one way.

I don't get the glee in attempting to paint this guy as delusional. He led the AHL and KHL in PPG as a Dman in successive seasons. He has done everything he can at lower levels to earn a shot at being a full time NHL'er.

I don’t think I made any comments to him as delusional or taking glee in this, just stating the fact that his original hold out on signing was due to the 1 way requirement and that changed very quickly after the league showed its opinion on his value.

Or after TOR showed him the $$$.

But they didn't he's getting the minimum

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I expect absolutely nothing from him but I hope to be pleasantly surprised but I conditional 7th usually means the player is a nothing burger

 

[CupcakeSprinkles]

But they didn't he's getting the minimum

They topped him up with 150K more AHL money.

 

[57special]

wrong.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

wrong.

750K is the NHL minimum

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Puts them over the top

It would be hilarious if it actuality did

The Marlies also play in Toronto, which makes it a lot easier to get a call up if needed plus access to the NHL level training facilities whenever he needs them.

Was a different situation with the Wild's affiliate being based in Iowa

But in Iowa, he gets to watch Shoeless Joe Jackson play baseball on the Field of Dreams.

 

[TheNumber4]

Are the Leafs out of Pyjama Boys to sign to league minimum so they've resorted to actually just league minimum guys?

 

[AcerComputer]

I always find it interesting to discover NHL players I've never heard of

Only if he really really believes.
