yes, the golf course is much greener.

ummm, the Canucks are set up to be hitting the golf course pretty damn early this year. And every year for the foreseeable future.

Mike Santorelli recap please I know few of you guys really liked him last year.

The TSN guy Farhan is saying he wouldn't take a 1 year deal from the Canucks. Guessing the Leafs promised him the 3LC spot?

Decent AHL player. Should really help the Marlies.

He was a good depth 3rd centre before he was injured. I question why Nonuts picked him up instead of playing Holland. He seems ready. Very similar players.

He sucks as of 5 minutes ago.


He's a decent skater, works his ass off. Decent offensively. Okay defensively. Has had some nice possession numbers in a couple of seasons in the past. Good deal for the Leafs. Can play C/W, versatile guy.

A poxs on your household.

Thanks that's what I was thinking. I remember he had played fairly well for you guys. Yaaaay I learned something on HB.

Yeah, having a Hertl and Couture is definitely a big plus. But you gotta think that they need a shakeup, not because of a lack of talent, but just for the sake of some change.

Put Pitt in that category too

Might use him on the fourth or as a winger perhaps.

Leafs have agreed to a 1 year deal with Mike Santorelli, $1.5 mil.


Thought he didn't want a 1 year deal?
- AustrianCanuck

Good signing

Most have said he plays both C and W. Nothing wrong with having a few guys that can play centre moved to the wing. Especially when injuries hit. I'm guessing they don't want to run into the same issues as last year, when they had their top 3 centres hurt. He may well have Holland and Santorelli on the same line.

I see a trend developing. Leafs taking our sloppy seconds.

Too many 3rd liners here... He has a better shot at setting himself up for next contract in Toronto.

Vrbata: "I talked to Jim last night and he said they were looking for someone to play with the Sedins"

Ohhh boy... Benning actually thinks they'll be able to turn the Sedins into north/south players.

Good signing
- bezz44

Agreed. Santorelli was great for us but we just have too many friggin' 3rd line centers these days.

Decent low risk deal and it's better than bringing Raymond back again.

I don't see that line lasting long before being broken up, but that's just me.

Should score 20 for you guys this year and then hit paydirt next year with someone else

He can fill in as a 2C as well. He even played some first line minutes last year and did quite well
