I gotta say though, Bravo to the NHL / NHLPA for creating this new free agency system. Canada Day / Free Agency day is now super fun and exciting to watch.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Iggay.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Wow Iggy back west to Col

 

[Merguson]

$3 million per year for Komarov? BARF

 

[lupin23rd]

:lol

Miller needs to take over the tradition of funny tweets I suppose

Surprised we have not seen a Luongo tweet with Bolland and Thorton joining FLA

 

[Kave_Man]

2.95 million per year for Leo.

Meh.

 

[DopeyFish]

Shit

I'm flipping between the Jays, Wimbledon and World Cup

Twitter and Gaf are all I need for hockey signings.........if it was nice out I'd be outside though

 

[Unhandled Exception]

:lol

I've been wondering if Luongo would ever be able to get away with live tweeting a game while playing in it. If there was a team that he could get away with it on, he's already on it.

 

[Samyy]

4x 3 mil for Leo
I ain't even mad!

 

[Yawnier]

2.95 for Komarov? Eh.........

 

[Tabris]

Fuck, no Iginla to Vancouver. Went to Colorado.

 

[Red_Man]

Habs writer making a good point, that they might not sign anyone else so if the off chance someone does offer sheet Subban they can match it. I have a feeling Bergevin will move Budaj and Moen later on this summer for more cap space.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Western Conference is going to be interesting this year.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

2.95x4 for Komo. That's a bit more than I'd like, but I love him!

 

[pringles]

Think about it: in the span of 4 years, Holland has turned Detroit from a destination franchise to a place nobody wants to come and play.

I disagree. We've been one of the last teams in on guys like Boyle, Ehrhoff, Suter, Parise, Niskanen, Iginla etc etc and guys like Kesler and Nash had us on their list of the teams they'd accept a trade to.

Honestly I can't blame Holland for today, at least not until he signs Quincey and/or Cleary.

 

[Merguson]

4x 3 mil for Leo
I ain't even mad!

If he has the same role with the Leafs, I would rather not bring him back.

What do you want for Budaj?

 

[Razorskin]

Overpayed for Komarov but maybe he'll fix their PK numbers again
Leafs PK:
2010: 30th (74,6)
2011: 28th (77,4)
2012: 28th (77,3)
2013: 2nd (87,9)
2014: 28th (78,4)

 

[Samyy]

No one wants to play here and the Leafs overpaid by like 500k whatever
The team is gonna be full of Marlies anyway lets just enjoy Leo and his antics!

I think Leo gets an expanded role guys, 34 points in 56 games in the KHL.


JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson/Frattin
Komarov - Holland - Clarkson/Frattion

Nearly every single guy you referenced was rumored or confirmed to have been offered more money and years by Detroit and turned it down to play elsewhere. That's Holland's fault for building a team nobody wants to play for.

 

[ZeroGravity]

3 years, $16 million for Iginla.

During the 2nd intermission "You guys have no idea how badly I need to take a dump right now"

 

[Delryk]

4-year deal yikes
Hope we didn't have to overpay for Leo lol

anyway..


CORPORAL KOMAROV IS BACK!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

 

[Coldnoodle]

3 years, $16 million for Iginla.

IGINLA GETTING PAID

 

[Red_Man]

What do you want for Budaj?

Not much. 3rd-4th round pick, or put him in a package with another player / prospect for a better deal. We can't send Tokarski down because he'd have to go through waivers.

 

[Tabris]

Eddie Lack ‏@eddielack 19m
Hey @RyanMiller3039 I'm open for dinner #datenight

Strombone ‏@strombone1 1m
@eddielack @RyanMiller3039 don't fall for it..... ITS A TRAP!!!!

Hahaha

Hopefully we can at least net richards so we can actually have a proper PP/PK unit

Yeah I would've preferred 2.5x4. He won't be able to score as much as May Ray nor will h be as good defensively as Kuli, but as an energy pest I freakin love it!

 

[Smiley90]

FUCK MY LIFE

THE DREAM IS OVER :'(

 

[BigJonsson]

So that 2 former Leafs + a new guy was right on the mark

 

[Kave_Man]

I guess Paul Hendrick isn't a crazy old man after all.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

3 years, $16 million for Iginla.

Hope my fellow Avs fans are happy and shut the fuck up now.

 

[Socreges]

SUCK IT SMELLIES!!!

sorry smelly

 

[Tabris]

3 years, $16 million for Iginla.

I'm kinda glad we didn't sign him then.

Paul Hendrick @HennyTweets
Leafs not necessarily done just yet. #TMLtalk

Dat insider.

Yeah, no thanks.

 

[Socreges]

Holy shit

So glad the Canucks didn't pay him that.

 

[Delryk]

He was playing on the 4th line 90% of the time... if he gets as much pts as Raymond last year (aka. 3rd line mins) and keeps finishing his checks. I'm OK with 3mil

 

[Curufinwe]

Not much. 3rd-4th round pick, or put him in a package with another player / prospect for a better deal. We can't send Tokarski down because he'd have to go through waivers.

Sounds good. Flyers have an extra 4th round pick to spare.

 

[jaybeeze]

Argentina scores with 2 minutes left in extra time, how you doin' Smiley?

 

[Samyy]

Also Komarov and Robidas are both guys that would garner interest at the deadline, they are definitely tradeable pieces.

This day could have gone way worse, I'm gonna stop nitpicking the meh stuff because who cares we didn't get completely fucked.

 

[DopeyFish]

He was playing on the 4th line 90% of the time... if he gets as much pts as Raymond last year (aka. 3rd line mins) and keeps finishing his checks. I'm OK with 3mil

Plus the amount of PPs he can generate

 

[Stasis]

I wonder if NY inquired about Leo and it was too steep so they went with Glass.

Meh.

 

[zroid]

RIP Smellies

terrible game

 

[Unhandled Exception]

During the 2nd intermission "You guys have no idea how badly I need to take a dump right now"

Guys did you see that glove save I just made? Hold on..


GOD DAMNIT HOW DID THAT GO IN?

 

[Spl1nter]

Happy with the komarov deal. Adds a very good element on the third line.

 

[Razorskin]

FUCK MY LIFE

Messi was just too powerful.
