Kessel can swing his stick at me all day long if he so wishes
Just Leaf fans, everyone else is on the same page.

Have fun watching Raymond get paid a million to shoot the puck at a goalies chest. Raymond's stick is where plays go to die.
Nah, he's good for 15 goals. That's definitely worth a mil. One year deal, too, so if he sucks he can just be waived.
Accidentally?
More recently its been like 10 goals.

Oh boy, 15 goals and a half century's worth of dead rushes because HE CANT FUCKING SHOOT THE PUCK ANYWHERE BUT THE CHEST
Seems like you have some built up anger over Raymond. Relax and take a deep breath.

John Scott interview:

Basically puts it all on Carlyle.
"Why isn't anyone talking about my sick assist last night?" :lol

Slight tweak to this lineup from AV today. Kristo and Fast are switching places, so Fast on Boyle's line, Kristo on Lindberg's.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm! D:
Something something Kessel his stick at me something something.
We're all Forza alts. Dammit, Cube! Answer my PM...though it was more of a rant than asking.
Much better than a 10 point season from Raymond. loleafslol
If you think he's only going to get 10 points... Ummmm
After agreeing to a 2 year 1 million dollar deal.

I would be more okay with this signing if we had handled bargain bin vets come playoff time better in the past.
At least Morrow still has some grit to his game I guess. Had something like 40 hits for the Pens in the postseason. I couldn't deal with another vet who actively avoided contact at the cost of possession again.
Texas air destroys common sense and critical thinking. It's a lot like LA air.
15* my bad.
He'll be better than Macdonald, but that's a low bar. And if Macdonald's excessive ice time in last year's playoffs are anything to go by, it'll be old man hockey again in the spring.
Are you only expecting him to play half the year or something?
He's a direct replacement to Clarke MacArthur and he did 20 in 48GP (and it was an awful year for MacArthur)
I'd say if he has a bad year, he will get 20-25
15 points would be around what our 4th liners get

Orr got 15 points?! Did the puck hit his fist and he got awarded an assist for that?
I'm actually expecting 20-25 myself. Hopefully, with some bigger players around him, he'll take a few more chances and play more aggressively. If he's gonna hit the goalie in the chest, maybe one of the others will clean up the rebound.
You will learn to appreciate his skills of falling down with the puck with no opponent around. Happens in like 25-50% of his games.
Well McClement is our 4th C and he did 17 points last year *shrug*

AMac should've retired before the lockout. I felt awful for him because he was a genuinely awesome guy with a great history. I was able to make it to his first game back after the concussion in 2011-12 and the crowd went ballastic for him.
But jesus christ when Hitch kept him in against LA I lost it. Guy was a liability out there.

Only 17? I thought he got more. Still, he's way more valuable to the team than just points.
If Raymond can provide more than 20 poi...
Son of a bitch!
I thought Fla already signed him?
Raymond isn't BAD. He'll put up points. He's just also extremely frustrating to watch. His speed and puck-carrying gets him into a lot of good places/chances, which he manages to fuck up in the worst ways too often.
He's like a more clumsy version of Stalberg.

17 points... In a 48 game season....
Dunno why he'd freak out... This isn't like the 2005-06 leafs... We actually have a good lineup and can put up a lot of fight without either

Raymond is a cheap no-risk signing. Is it one-way? He's fast and can kill penalties too.
Perhaps expectations that he'd be a top 6 winger weighed on him in Vancouver. The Toronto media and fans will be equally as ruthless but at least he gets a fresh start. Plus for his salary no one expects much from him in a bottom 6 role.
