Around the League playoff edition

[Ziggy Stardust]

Canucks fans are pissed off.

Smaller cap hit than the contract that just expired. That's probably Covid in action. It's been a while since I saw a relatively major UFA name, and one of the younger ones, sign for a smaller cap number.

 

[King'sPawn]

I like Toffoli, but have a feeling Montreal will be underwhelmed

 

[SFKingshomer]

Would you want Toffoli in LA at that cost and term? The avg. is fine but I wouldn't want more than 2 years.

 

[KingsFan7824]

Toffoli has to be kept on his toes at all times. 1 year or nothing.

 

[Herby]

I wish them both success on their new squads but I am happy to see that Toffoli and Clifford signed elsewhere. I figured Blake was totally onboard with turning the page on that era of Kings hockey but nice to see it confirmed.

Toffoli isn't getting 5 million in this market

As expected

 

[BigBrown]

That AAV is a pretty good deal for Montreal, and the 4 years is good for Toffoli under these circumstances. I think he was complacent towards the end of his time with the Kings, the change of scenery might be what he needs to get going again. He looked decent in Vancouver.

I think that’s a good deal for Toffoli. Montreal will likely get two good years and two mediocre years out of him. Pretty surprised Vancouver couldn’t beat that though. They gave up an awful lot for fewer than 20 games of Toffoli.

Tyler Madden and Brock Faber* for 17 games of Toffoli.

(* Technically Neiderbach was taken at 51)

I wish Toffoli nothing but success for the Habs.

 

[Stimpythecat]

Vancouver insider said that the Canucks have an internal cap.

I think it's a good deal for Montreal, but I want no part of cementing Toffoli on this team for four more years

Toffoli really gelled with that young Vancouver team.

Small sample size but...

10 Games
6 Goals
4 Assists
+3

Benning should have made that worked. That cap hit is def. manageable.

If they have an internal cap and or need to spend the rest on D, then that was a steep price to pay for a post season run for a young club. I don't think they should have made that move in the first place then.

But hey, thanks for Tyler Madden and a 2nd, Vancouver.

So all the talk of Stutzle being more NHL ready turns out to not matter because he can't play in the NHL

 

[Telos]

Obivously, I wish Tyler nothing but the best, but I am glad that the page has been turned. That was an amazing trade for us in the end. I am very surprised that Vancouver could not offer him the same or more. He was pretty happy with the city and the team there.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Sens blogosphere/junior varsity media knows better than everyone else?

Where have I heard that before?

 

[KINGS17]

LOL, Vancouver paid Madden and a 2nd to rent Toffoli for 17 games.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Will Toff have to rename his dog from Dodger to Expo?

I do wish TT the best as he continues his career in MTL.

 

[Telos]

Wow, Van sounds like a mess and everyone is losing it. Wonder what is going on.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Can Toffoli play the lw?

 

[King'sPawn]

Can Toffoli play the lw?

He probably would benefit more from playing LW, to be honest, because he has a great shot. However, he pretty much played RW exclusively.

 

[jfont]

Can Toffoli play the lw?

He plays RW exclusively

Toffoli signing with Mtl is Michael Ryder 2.0
