They're screwed, or so we were told recently.

Ideally he is a 4th or 5th dman, personally I rather have Granberg in the lineup, my opinion.

Just hope they get them signed sooner rather than later.

Because of a 7 game tournament?

this guy gets it! wait, we're not #1, we're gonna be #8 this season!

we could send smith,brennan and holzer down, but that would give us a 20 man roster (With Franson,Kadri and Fraser signed) . I don't think we can afford to keep liles @3.9 mil to play on our 3rd D pairing and 2nd unit PP.

Nope, a number 2 dman should be physical, Gunnar is not, like I said, my opinion.

The leafs are always screwed according to every other team fans

When Gunnarson is in the lineup, he makes Dion that much better. He is a necessary part of this Defense corps. I like this signing...Nonis made room by paying less this season and then more as the deal goes on as the cap is sure to go up. I still think Liles is going to be traded before camp starts.

Defense will look like this IMO
Phaneuf-Gunnarson
Gardiner-Franson
Fraser-Brennan/Reilly

Kessel is going to walk for nothing is the next one, leafs have to trade him

I think his physicality is underrated because of his hockey IQ he doesn't have to crash and bang because he's always in the right spot
