Nice the guy I wanted on the 4th line. PTO but they'll look to sign him.

 

[SprDaVE]

Im shocked he's a PTO level player. I assume the Leafs will give him a contract once the dust settles on their cap.

yeah, given the smoke entering free agency between TOR and ZAR, this feels like a situation where he’ll be signed once whatever trade we make happens.

Not really too special of a player, but I think he is better than some guys who got decent money.

He is fine to try him out with Kampf, Engvall, and NAK on the shutdown line. He doesn't fit anywhere else, but it would be nice to give Engvall more opportunities.

Love this. Guy is amazing defensively and hits everything that moves, exactly what you want out of a 4th liner.

 

[The Management]

Can't say I know much about the player, but he looks like a decent shot blocker and a pretty consistent hitter. Could be a decent way to add some sandpaper to the fourth line.

We could sign him right now if he'd take 900k.

 

[Menzinger]

Very nice to see. Was a target I wanted from the start of free agency.

Wonder if the pto is in part just to ensure he's at camp until cap is eventually cleared to allow for Sandin/him to sign.

That was my first thought. A player who knows their role, and allows us to try Engvall up with Tavares.

Test - give the leaf board a new topic
Dubas - passed

NAK and ZAR on a 4th line will be fun

Full blast all over the ice. Not big enough to intimidate. Not skilled enough to score. His biggest contribution isn't tracked - pressuring the puck carrier into bad plays. With other energetic linemates, this can be a line that hems the other team in their zone for entire shifts.

Toss Gaudette in the middle.

 

[IPS]

4th liner who's high energy, physical, and can kill penalties.

Finally, we really needed 1. Now go get another one and the 4th line is set.

Let's go to camp!

 

[jaric1862]

I'd like to try either Aston-Reese or Aube-Kubel at center

 

[BertCorbeau]

Cool.. cool cool cool

 

[Mickey Marner]

 

[BeLeafing]

Excellent. Wanted him badly as another hard working 4th line staple with NAK. Hope to see him sign a real contract with us.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Neat!

 

[Once]

I love ZAR's game. All hustle. He'd look good with Aube-Kubel as they're similar players.

 

[stickty111]

Kubel ZAR is 2 thirds of a nice 4th line. Very physical, fast and defensively responsible. Would be better if any of them could play centre but oh well. Let the Marlies fight for the other spot on the line

 

[The Iceman]

I think we are @ 48 of 50 contracts before ZAR.
How troublesome is that for Dubas?
