You guys are already female doging about the outfit when we just put on the socks.

Reaves wasn't the answer to every question, just the answer to Bennett v Knies or PLD v Matthews. Great role player on a cheap deal. Done.

Not signing Schenn, to me, means Nylander is going for a RD upgrade. Schenn was a bit too expensive IMO and I loved him here last year.

There will be other moves and a whole summer ahead to do more.

Patience (frank)ers. Patience.

He will be in the press box when the games matter. Terrible signing

Reeves does not answer Bennett or PLD. He's not going to be on the ice in the playoffs. He's nothing more than a replacement for Wayne Simonds.

Good way to spend your day - calling out strangers online with differing opinions. Have a good one!

(frank)ing right he does. Some rule I don't know about that you can't put a 4th line out against PLD or Bennett? Other teams do.

If you have a problem with this deal, you're whining for the sake of whining now....and I agree with most of your teary eyed posts lately....until now.

Everyone around Toronto getting stronger. They will have stiff competition this year. I predict they will re-sign Willy, Sammy. Only other FA they sign today will be Connor Brown. They will keep the 4 core, and fill out the rest will AHLers. Just my honest opinion. Let’s face it, Shanahan runs the show, he should have just named himself as both GM/Prez but he hired at reliving to save face when the blame comes down. The real problem with this organization is flat out Shanahan. He is the new curse since Ballard.

Well looks like Brown is an Oiler so there goes my guesstimation 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not attacking, just calling out people who complain about every single little thing.

Players get paid more than league minimum.

Sorry to break it to you.

You are chirping and being a smart-ass to people, again. It is like you have a (frank)ing sickness and can't resist. It's every (frank)ing day with you Santo.

Well it does allow them to keep their racial quota in good standing. Since Simmonds is gone, they had to play the minority card. Why it doesn't work, you can't use him in the playoffs. You must initiate, not even scores. You're asking for penalties doing that. In the regular season, you might put him in the lineup against a tougher opponent, but that's probably about 30% of the time. So you're paying him $1.3M on your cap, for about 25 games. To me, this is stupid. The NHL has moved away from face punchers and is more of a flow game and cheap shot type of player. There are so few fights any more. What a waste of cap space. Huge fail.

Agreed. This isnt washed up Simmonds when we got him. Guy is respected and still feared. 4th line can contribute. And he IS a deterrent. Now far as the knock on skating goes, we have always had the best in power skating to work with there too so he should be just fine and honestly he is a cost effective ohysical option. Its fine.

Too much money and term for them. I’d rather pick up that kind of player at the deadline.

I didn't see Simmonds out there. Reaves is a (frank)ing Pilon. Agree to disagree.

I thought the Leafs faithful were pretty happy with Schenn And RoR? Must be a bit of a bummer to lose em. Thems the breaks tho.

No way to know if ROR was willing to play here for that. I agree though if that contract was announced by the Leafs, I'd have been pretty happy.

I don’t get that signing at all. It’s not even something that can be moved.
