PTO: anyone interested in Raffi Torres (Hurricanes offer PTO)

[HarvP19]

Ok i know this guy is very injury prone, and when he was healthy his rep was tarnished.

That being said i remember how effective he was on my nucks in 2011, yes that was a long time ago. However i think he deserves one more kick at the can.

Would you take him at league minimum salary or at the very least a PTO. Or is he damaged goods and not even worth taking a roster spot.


UPDATE:

Torres signs a PTO with Carolina.

I know it aint much, Glencross retired last season after signing his PTO. Nonetheless one team decided to give Torres one more kick at the can (in preseason at least).

I can't wait for Raffi Torres to go headhunting young skilled players again.

 

[Iceman]

Haha... deserves another chance? Yeah.... no.

 

[The Toews Era*]

Lol. Classic canucks

 

[blueberrie]

If the rest of the league thinks of him as the Leafs do.. hes done.

They didnt even call him after getting him in the Polak deal.

 

[clunk]

Ducks should sign him... Reunite the old crew.

 

[Irishguy42]

Didn't he say he was going to retire if no one signed him?

 

[tarheelhockey]

Absolutely not. You can't have a guy on your team who might get suspended for 30 games at any moment.

 

[beowulf]

Never, no chance.

 

[tony d]

No way, guy is to much of a headcase for any team to sign.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Can see Toronto giving him a PTO.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Can see Toronto giving him a PTO.

Despite the fact the leafs told him to stay away from their team, but ok.

Why would toronto call him? Honest question the leafs knew what they were getting with torres and it was not a player, they were litterally getting a piece of paper to say he was part of the leafs cap now.

Torres was staying in san jose with the barracuda and wasn't even going to go to the leafs AHL team after the trade.

The leafs did no such thing. Torres was all but done playing hockey at that point of the season.

 

[Mad Brills*]

The leafs did no such thing. Torres was all but done playing hockey at that point of the season.

There was a 0% chance the leafs were going have him near the marlies/big league team.

 

[flyersfan018]

Hopefully no one offers him a PTO. Bad enough that loser Lapierre got one.

 

[Morgs]

This thread is a joke.

 

[LV*]

Theres a reason Leafs management didnt even acknowledge his existence when we traded for him...

No

 

[SLAYER]

Torres is a joke, he can go kick rocks. Never want to see him on the ice again. POS.

 

[Pointteen]

If Torres could be the force he was in 2006 with less headhunting, I think every team would be interested. Hard to imagine him scoring 27 goals, but he did it.

Too bad, I used to like him. Then he went full goon.

 

[Kamiccolo]

At least have a clue if you are going to say things with such confidence. Leafs left him in SJ and didn't want him near the kids or team. Several insiders even stated this, and the Leafs management all but said this themselves.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The only way anyone should allow Torres to play is if he and Cooke were forced to fight in a death match with the winner being suspended forever.

 

[RC51]

not even Mrs.Torres is interested in Mr.Torres anymore...

 

[Stuzchuk]

Can see Toronto giving him a PTO.

can I ask why would TOR would do that to themselves...?

I despise that team but even I know that they have too much respect to bring in a guy like that

I dont see him sign anywhere... maybe AHL/Europe if he still wanna play
