A 37 year old defenceman who fractured his leg during this years playoffs. Have brought Frattin back via trade.Sign 37 year old defenceman to 3 year contract.
Leafs need a babysitter for their captain.
Brodeur is (was) a fantastic goalie, certainly HHoF worthy, though he benefited tremendously from the system his team played.Marty Brodeur will be in the hall before Lindros.
I worry when someone says a player brings "character". Usually it means he can't score, play defense or fight.Not a bad signing, brings character.
Why with so much stupid money being spent on July 1st ... Why wasn't the Leafs able to trade Gleason ..I thought you were kidding. Is the team nuts? Gleason is hard working, blocks shots, adds toughness and you put him on waivers? Letting Gunner go made sense, he was much too soft. But if the Leafs want to buy out someone, do it with Phaneuf. This is really a shame, you trade away Liles who I also liked, now add both a hit on the cap, and have no return. I can only imagine it having to do with the free agent frenzy, it makes GMs simple minded.
Regardless what Toronto has in mind July 1, I'd still have kept Gleason.
And the odds of the Leafs getting the number one pick are..........?One name comes to mind...Conner McDavid at the 2015 draft.
Easy with the current lineup. Finish last place and they will have the best odds. The NHL is revamping the lottery draft but still last place team will still have the best odds.And the odds of the Leafs getting the number one pick are..........?
Boston is pretty much capped out and couldn't make any moves, Montreal just got rid of some dead wood and added a few small pieces, Ottawa didn't do much and will be worse than last year and Buffalo made a lot of good veteran signings with still more money to spend. Toronto got a decent player in Komorov but lost two decent guys in Bolland and Raymond. And yes no matter how poor the product on the ACC ice is they will continue to sell out which leads one to ponder how much intelligence leaf fans have.Is there a deadline for the Leafs to annouce tickets price increased? Especially,after they signed Komarov for almost 3mil a season? Whoopee!!!
Kidding aside no one from their division had done anything of significance to strenghten their own rosters yesterday,imo. Buffalo is trying to sell season tickets that's why they needed to make on kind of noises since draft day. Leafs? The house is always full regardless of on ice product.

For what the Leafs charge for 1 premium seat you could take a family of 4 to a game in several US based markets. I think you Leaf fans are a little too sensitive after 47 years with no cups I would think you would be used to the needling by now. I'm a huge Blue Jays fan but I wouldnt pay what they want for their premium seats either.If you think you're so much smarter than Leaf fans, why are you spending so much time and effort in posting on Leaf threads like this ?
