4 years? Fans will want him traded after 2, literally the worst contract signed today, maybe tied with Clowes since he's had such bad concussion issues this last year.

Bozak deal isn't terrible, but like Cactus said above, Kadri has to take the next step or our first line center position will be cockblocked for the next 5 years. Don't know enough about Clarkson to say one way or another, hoping for the best. But man, if Franson is traded, I am going to be seriously pissed off. I think he was our best defenceman last year and still has potential to improve.

I think they blew up the team in SA, letting almost all of the guys walk. IMO it would be best for him to send him to SA and give him the C. I'd love him to lead our prospects down there for a year.
I doubt it. He'll score a lot of goals playing with Lupul and Kadri. Plus, casual fans will love him because he plays like Dougie and Wendel. It's when his body wears down and injuries hit that this signing becomes terrible. I predict that he'll be an anchor by year 5.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Agreed. I really liked having him on the team.

But...but...everyone....wants....Leafs.....
5 years is being really optimistic, as is saying he'll score a lot of goals when he hasn't even hit 100 yet....
Guy goes from best team in the league to the Leafs and isn't pleased about it. Shocker.

Was fine with Moore. Fine with Johnson. Baffled by the Pouliot signing. Trade has to be coming.
Actually has more to do with ticket beggars lol
I feel like some combo of Boyle/Asham/Powe/DZ is getting shipped off somewhere.

Can't wait for Cube's response to this.
I think you're half right
Did y'all see we got David Clarkson? Did anybody see that? You see the move Dave Nonis pulled off? Yes 7 years is a long ass time but 5.25 cap hit when everyone was talking bout him taking over 6 and possibly 7? Shit is real! I think we all expect the cap to gradually go up so a 5.25 cap hit ain't gonna be shit a few years down the road. We got a beast who will be ready to play every single day, a good ole' TORANA boy who will be extra pumped to come play for his home team. He is the perfect forward for Randy Carlyle's system and you will see him thrive on this team.
And a masterful job by Nonis getting Bozak under 5 million. A dude with great chemistry with Phil that can hold the fort until we finally attain a 1C or hopefully in a few years Kadri morphs into one. Again another guy who thrives in Carlyle's system who will do a lot better here then he would anywhere else. Plus this could be a major factor in getting KESSSELLLL resigned and possibly for a bit of a discount.
Fraser McLaren, why not? Not like we're breaking the bank for him, he knows his role here and will be a good soldier to pop in the lineup when needed.
TJ Brennan...I don't know who he is but fuck it he's awesome too.
So in closing, bring on the season!

Komisarek was a good zero risk signing too.

now if Jagr went to the Pens since Iginla went to the Bruins...
A full season of Iginla and the Bruins didn't have to give up Bartkowski? Im okay with that. Guess they missed out on Jason Dickinson? with the 30th pick they lost for Jagr.
Anyway:
Lucic-Krejci-Iginla
Marchand-Bergeron-Eriksson
Kelly-Soderberg-Smith/Caron/Jagr?
Paille-Campbell-Thornton
Chara-Hamilton
Seidenberg-Boychuk
McQuaid-Krug
Bartkowski
Rask
Svedberg

I imagine Bowman has just been going around to various NHL veterans today with a picture of the 12-13 team winning the cup with emery, stalberg, bolland, and froliks faces replaced by a white silhouette that says "THIS COULD BE YOU"

No but I know everyone in Toronto thinks they're an insider. "Buddies ex girlfriend's second cousin twice removed knows Lupul and I heard he's a fuckin prick in the dressing room.." Kind of stuff.
so goooooood
I don't think Bergevin is done with trades but as of right now Habs opening roster should look like this:
Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Bourque - Plekanec - Briere
Galchenyuk - Eller - Gallagher
Prust - White - Moen / Parros
Markov - Subban
Gorges - Diaz
Bouillion - Tinordi
Drewiskie
Nothing drastic, but they scored a lot of goals last year, and I'm fine with rolling 3 second lines essentially. If DD gets back to his game that's a great line up, I assume one or more of Plekanec, Markov and Gionta will be traded before the season starts or at the trade deadline.
I'm hoping Beaulieu can work his way up to the big club this year, along with a guy like Bournival in a 3rd line role once Pleks / Gio gets the boot.

Yeah but it was from a conversation i had with his brother... BIG difference
That's a lot of pressure to put on Gallagher.
Nobody cares but us!
The first thread I will ever make will be when the Leafs win the Stanley Cup.
Look assholes, if you're going to make a joke about that last sentence please come correct, no weak ass shit please.
It's not really the first line, that line will get the easiest competition so it shouldn't be too hard for him.
