Icon45 Leafs sign Mason Raymond (1yr, $1mil)

Andrew Walker ‏@FAN590Walker 6m Mason Raymond has signed a contract with #Leafs

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris 16s Mason Raymond has signed a one-year deal with the #leafs, per agent J.P. Barry.

Either Franson is gone or Leafs will have to dump salary to get him under contract

Was bound to happen. He's a quality 2nd tier scoring winger who has insane speed. I'm surprised nobody else wanted him.

Good for him. I usually don't hope for success of anyone wearing that jersey but in his case I hope he has a nice season.

1yr $1mil per the Fan590

Leaves $1.2mil cap space for the Leafs to get Franson under contract barring any trades or demotions.

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Clarkson
Raymond-Bolland-Kulimen

Outside of Bozak the Leafs have a pretty solid top 9 forward group

Hearing Raymond’s Leaf deal includes a no-movement clause. Specifically, if there's a fight he has to sit on the bench and not ###ing move.

You can unbrainwash a former Canuck in one pre-season!

I think that means Colborne is on the move. Someone keep an eye on Burke and Feaster.

Burke was in T.O. watching the Leafs pre-season game last night FWIW.

Definitely think something is up with The flames and leafs. We got the cap space and they need it and Burke knows their system better than anyone.

Raymond at 1M is a great pick-up for Toronto.

He's looked great in training camp/preseason. Great pick-up. A cheap replacement for Macarthur.

I would. Something like Liles, Colborne, and a 2nd for Smith and Nemisz sounds more likely. Not unlike the Regehr trade.

At what cost? I can't see TO wanting any roster player off the Flames. At the very least it would be a 2nd +. Not sure what the "+" would be? but more than a "meh" prospect.

So in other words, the Leafs aren't signing Franson.
