Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Ondrej Kase signs with the Maple Leafs (1 year, $1.25M)

[Leaf Fans]

It appears Dubas signed Kase out of spite for losing Foligno

LMAO

How does appear that way?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Good move, could be a cheap scoring line forward with jam. I think most of us probably expect him to end up unavailable for portions of the season as well due to injury.

 

[HabsAddict]

I guess the Hab defense is going to take bets on who is going to take him out with a good....fart.

Or let CC practice his evil side....

Yes, only the classless ones would bet on injury. Most Hab fans want their team to play their stlye without betting on injuries.

Not our fault who Dubas signs.

Or maybe Perry wanted to sign with the Lightning.

Wasn't there a report last season that Perry wanted to sign with the Leafs, but they went with Simmonds instead? If that was really the case then it sucks because I'd much rather have Perry than Simmond at this point in both player's careers.

No. It is not a fault at all.

 

[rocketdan9]

He played like 3 games last season

Made of glass

Leafs fell for it

 

[rocketdan9]

If Leafs sign Ritchie... that will be something. Maybe Dubas is a Bruins spy

 

[T_Cage]

its an alright signing.....but doesnt solve our 2LW problem

I don't mind the idea of 9-10 Guys fighting over the Bottom 6 Spots, but we need to fix the hole first before we add luxuries

Fell for what?

 

[rocketdan9]

Fell for what?

How do you pay a player even 100k... when he played like 3 games last season. And very little the seasons prior to that?

Its always the same kind of injury too

Boston paid him 2.5 million. The Leafs are taking a risk on him playing many more than 3 games at half the cost

It was via trade. Bruins "chance" taking was warranted due to Backes bad contract

Leafs should have used this money for Ritchie instead. Slow, but at least durable

There is still room for Ritchie.

Why not both ? Cap remains for Ritchie . But I agree he'd help .

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Does Dubas know he's a RW? Im not sure where he slots in. Who is playing LW this year?

I think we'll finally be seeing a stacked top line this season. Nylander has stated dating back to Sweden that he prefers left wing.

Trying things thats obvious is not Leaf style. Same thing that dont seem to work for eternity, thats more like it. That said i hope they try Nylander on the left side.

 

[kthx]

Great signing. Literally no risk because term is so little. I hope Kase gets to play a full season for once, problem is he plays like a martyr and gets himself into these awkward situations.

 

[The90]

So you say we lack depth but that we will trade our depth? Both of those things can't be true

The ol’ mind pretzel for Dubas’ biggest fans lol

You know Ritchie wanted the same as Debrusk which is around 3.7. Thats why Sweeney walked away from cause he was scared he'd get it in arbitration. He's good infront of the net on pp but other than that he was almost useless 5 on 5. Too slow, it was even worse in the playoffs, looks like a guy that just doesn't care or just lost. Too bad because he does have skill.

I didn't know the ask. I am sure it is less now.

Doubtful, Ritchie is a free agent.

But between Nylander, Matthews and Marner, who is going to get the puck from the other team? Can't see any of those three battling other forwards for it. They want it gift-boxed!

Maybe Nylander on second line left wing with Tavares if they can find another Hyman-type for RW. But if you asked Nylander about that, he's probably say he only wants to play LW if it's with Matthews and Marner. That way he can pile up points till free agency and then ask for 12 million. It's all about the money! Winning only matters if it increases your money without adding too much work.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not a bad signing. I think most of it can be buried if he sucks
