Pretty good deal. I like him at that price and term. He could still pop and become a top 6 forward soon.

Kase and Ritchie? Some good depth signings there that could be pretty significant contributers. TML got better this offseason.

Give Dubas credit for always doing something instead of just talk like certain GM

Same results though

Boo, good signing by the Leafs. Watch Ritchie have just as much success as Hyman did.

I would have been fine thebFlames paying this much or even slightly more/going 3 years to lock him in.

Oh well just get Jack!!!

Toronto is above the cap with this signing. There was a rumour that they intend to send out Kerfoot this off-season.

With the way LTIR currently works the cap is really more of a suggestion anyway.

They could put Marner on LTIR for the season and then bring him back for the playoffs, so he can put up 0 goals.

LOL. Which GM has done more this off season - Treliving or Dubas? What about last off season?

So let me get this straight. You're criticizing Treliving for not making a move that you think the Leafs shouldn't have made either?

That's just boneheaded.

That’s too bad. I was thinking he would be a good add to the third line. But I guess it’s an opportunity for a young guy. Probably shouldn’t fill up the whole roster with free agents.

There are a few young guys that deserve a shot.

Seems like a quality Sutter type player; His brother may not have all the skills but always shows up yo play. Was hoping Flames could grab this guy. Good pick up for Toronto.

The knock against him in Boston was consistency issues and floating, which is why I though he would do well in Calgary with Sutter. Not sure Keefe is the coach to get him to play up to potential every shift or not. We will see I guess.

So does this take Vegas out of the running for Eichel?
