Not $2.5M worth. What's his offensive percentile? 8th?

Likely would have gotten 1.8 or something on a 2 year deal in FA given this class. I couldnt possibly care less about the AAV being slightly higher on a one year deal when they have like 20 mil in cap space.

Yeah nobody is paying him for his offense, its somewhere in the single digits. Although Im sure itd be higher if he werent deployed in a purely defensive role.

I'm sorry, but that's horsesh¡t. Paying him too much bumps up everyone's ask.

Have you watched him play? "Stone Hands" is a compliment. He sucks, period.

And which is it? If it's goaltending, then why are they way overpaying for a defensive forward who doesn't actually help? They allowed the 7th most goals last year FFS. Enough already. He sucks and needs to go.

Much like Okposo if you're keeping him around because everyone loves him, fine, put him in a suit and stick him behind the bench.

Too early to talk about what they do a year from now? Don't think a lot of this is about this year, but more of a: will they ever move on? He just has a lot of baggage from being a first rounder and all the losing.

I just dont care either way for the stuff on the margins right now. Like I wouldnt feel optimistic or liberated if they let Girgensons go and replaced him with someone who is equally bad offensively and worse defensively.


Priority is rounding out the top 4 on D and then adding a legit goalie. I'll save my anger for if they botch that.

Interesting option, can he handle the minutes

As much as I disagree with the signing, this post is what’s missing in the line up…

Jost wants guaranteed playing time and not be the hinnostroza of this coming year

The Maple Leafs will look to add some size & toughness via free agency. One player high on their list: Ryan Reaves

Interesting

My buddy is a die hard B's fan. Said he hits like a truck and plays his balls off. Good question on the minutes. If they are looking for more than one D, I think this guy's perfect for 3rd pair.

I'd like a guarantee that the guy can win more than 38% of his faceoffs. That's just embarrassing.

Hey guys, any news or rumours? Or are we basically running it back? Running it back will suck for the goalies 😞

I know it's a 4th line and it ultimately doesn't matter that much, but I'd find it refreshing to see what Rousek can do vs what I know Girgs is going to do.

If he's as good as people think he is he could very well take his spot.

I assumed Greenway was taking one of their jobs this year and him the next. Might end up being the case. There's just so many skilled guys coming next year for top 9 jobs.

It may end up working out that way. Im not entirely convinced Okposo stays a lineup regular throughout the whole year.

I'm not either. Not expecting it, but it would be the smart move.
