time is a flat circle.

 

[Kamiccolo]

And the crowd goes mild.

Wish they would just let him go but he is fine as the 8th D and he seems ok with going between Marlies and press box so I guess I understand why they kept him.

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

Hoping this isnt a real tweet

 

[TheDoldrums]

Good depth. Doesn't mind bouncing between the Marlies and Leafs, seems to just like Toronto. Solid 7th/8th guy on the depth chart.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Can’t wait to read the negative opinions of signing a depth replacement level player to a league minimum contract.

 

[McClelland]

1 more year with Marincin, thats a tank move!

Meh. He only plays minutes when the D core is badly banged up.. Like right now he is on the bottom pair for the Leafs due to Muzzin being out with a broken foot.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Depth dman for minimum. Nothing great nothing bad.

 

[SoundAndFury]

It costs next to nothing and he loves the team and is ok with the role, evidently. Great fit for both sides.

...and somehow he manages to still be a bad contract. they should just move on from him.

 

[ToDavid]

Useful 7/8 D on a contract that can be buried.

I'll see you guys on page 30.

League min/1 year. He only plays if the lineup is depleted like now. He insulates needing to throw the young kids in the lineup so they can develop and is better suited as a press box addition than hurting a players development while sitting. Every club has a need and use for a player like him

I don't like the player but I am interesting into how you can spin this as a bad contract. He's a serviceable NHL D for the bottom pair. He's not a starting D for an NHL contending team, but he's going to play half his games for the Marlies and Half in the press box for the Leafs, with odd nights he plays due to injuries.

Really want to hear this.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Sounds like a Marlie signing.

 

[Amadeus]

Really can't complain.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Not again pls

 

[LeafGrief]

Ugh. If we have to. He’s fine as #8, but you don’t ever actually want to see #8 in the lineup.

 

[AvsGuy]

Can't believe this guy is still kicking around - he was a hot prospect at one point but there's not much left

Oddly his underlying metrics are pretty damn good for a 3rd pairing D.

 

[firstemperor]

Meh honestly not bad of a deal for a #7 that slots in here and there into the lineup.......but dear god, please don't play him and Holl together as the "matchup pairing" against the elite players in this league.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Ugh. If we have to. He’s fine as #8, but you don’t ever actually want to see #8 in the lineup.

Too bad fair the same could be said for almost every teams press box filler

 

[qqaz]

Impossible to complain about. It's as "meh" a signing as you can make, but one that every team sort of has to make. Depth player with a depth contract.

He likes being in the organization, and the organization likes having an experienced guy that won't kill you on the ice if pressed to play and doesn't complain when he is in the minors or press box for months at a time.

 

[Hitemwith4]

but why though ahh

I guess hes not going to ever play much unless injuries and Marincin must really like Toronto and Leafs

we all have a 50 contact max ...he is one of those 50. in for a game in emerg maybe, but, for any length of time, he is a liability because he cannot handle the puck, and tends to always turn the wrong way. Harpur sucks (and may be worse), but, at least he would bring a physical dimension.
