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

Interesting

Ive never watched him play

Really? Could've fooled me.

I don't know how anyone can see the contract and think "yeah, that's fine".

Overpaying a star player is fine, because they at least impact the game. Overpaying a 4th liner who has zero offense on a team with a sh¡t PK that allows all the goals is plain asinine.

Olofsson trade plzzzz.

Wilson/Crouse (trade) or Bertuzzi (signing) in Olofsson’s spot.

I said i never have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a one year deal. It doesn't bother me, and I can't bring myself to go 10 rounds on a 4th liner.

I'm still not discounting a ridiculous Pat Kane signing that only Terry wants. 3 years $21m

If it fits under the cap, I don't hate it. 1st year would have to be prorated for 4$millionish though, right cuz he's out to December. In saying that, I don't think Kane has any desire to come home

I will order a matthews jersey if this happens. The only question is whether it's leafs or seattle.

It's the most 6D chess move possible. Everyone is thinking D and goalie and Terry is still trying to land his hometown boy for no logical reason

Im sure the six boomers in south buffalo who have never spent a dime on Sabres merch or tickets will praise it on twitter. Maybe that's what he's after.

I dont care to argue the point but I do think we - as a blog - should start a competition to call into WGR with the worst takes possible and then post the results
