You guys will get Clarksson at 6.5M$/per

Then he scores 15 goals a year for the rest of his life and gets Kulemanized...except because he's Canadian he's a heart and soul guy and not a heartless Russian.

GTFO!




BTW, did you read Grabovski's comments? Boy he's (frank)ing pissed!
- Pecafan Fan

Yeah I saw that.
If only he showed that kind of passion every game.

Some games he was the best player on the ice. Hitting, scoring etc. Other games he was invisible.

I like Grabovski. I think he will be a great fit in Calgary (maybe) but he really didn't have a place in Carlyle's system.

That was an awful contract also.

INTANGIBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man don't you know, only Kovalchuk has separated himself offensively from Bozak!

You know...that same Bozak who has never hit 50 points

This is pretty (frank)ing funny. From some kid who is an "aspiring player agent."

"As the Leafs’ No. 1 centre, the diversity of the minutes Bozak has played places him in elite company. Last year, Bozak averaged 20:18 minutes a game, with 2:58 on the power play and 1:38 short-handed.

The only other forwards to average 20 minutes, with over two minutes on the power play and 1.5 minutes shorthanded are:

Ilya Kovalchuk (15 years, $100 million)
Jordan Staal (10 years, $60 million)
Mikko Koivu (7 years, $47.25 million)
Jason Pominville (5 years, $26.5 million; signed as a restricted free agent)
Matt Duchene (2 years, $7 million; restricted)
Derek Stepan (3 years, $2.46 million; restricted)
Ryan Callahan (3 years, $12.8 million; restricted)
Claude Giroux (3 years, $11.25 million; restricted)

While Kovalchuk has truly separated himself from the other UFAs from an offensive standpoint, can the same really be said about comparables like Staal and Koivu? "

Don't worry, at least you guys got Versteeg Bolland from the cup winning Blackhawks.

Playing on the 1st line getting a ton of undeserved PP time.

See the difference here is when the Leafs signed Versteeg it was to play on the first line.
Bolland was signed to play on the third line.


Pretty lame comparison.

Well...we don't know if Bolland will be playing on the third. Nonis said he would get a chance to play an offensive role.


Though this is the disciple of the guy who said JVR would be the first line centre...

The Leafs got a 3rd line guy from the cup winning Blackhawks...wasn't comparing the players but the situation. Hope for you guys that this one turns out to be better.

I don't think the expectations are the same.

I like the move.

Wooooo!

So can all of the twitter copy and pasters reach a deal so each insider is only copy and pasted once rather than each and every one of you telling us what our twitter feeds already did?

I know.

I was a fan of Bergevin until that Briere thing.

I know how you feel.

But hey, let's just wait and see.

If he manages to pull a trade which involves DD/Gionta... having Brière doesn't look so bad.

And while he clearly doesn't make us bigger.... can't really argue with the fact he's a good player....
