so if Samsonov is a done deal, wondering what the leafs are looking at for Forwards?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Grier is getting to work!!

He got dealt a bad hand, so this would be a decent start. The other two contracts on D are virtually unmovable, unfortunately

Should find out soon.

Firstly Samsonov's pedigree is absolutely insane. He and the two other Russian's (Shesty/Sorokin) all came up at the same time and looked like all were going to be elite #1 goalies. Samsonov is just getting into prime goalie age too where guys start to figure it out. We know nothing about goalies, but his low danger and medium danger sv% are fine too, but he got absolutely blown up on HD chances which crushed his overall numbers (2nd worst of 34 guys who played 2000+ mins). I'm hoping the Leafs as they're a better defensive team than Washington can help clean it up, and a different goalie coach can speak sweet nothings in his ears to help him reach his potential.

do we know if HD sv % can be drastically improved? Obviously this suggests that if we play a clean game in front of him we should be solid.

Not much is known at this time. I think there will be a surprise or two, but generally they will probably look at Aston-Reese and Acciari as the more "known" names.

It's possible most of their adds are not today either.

If you listen closely, you can hear Noodles raging over soneone criticizing a non Leafs team.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Concerning thing for me is that HD chances are the most repeatable skill, at least from the stuff I've read.

Still definitely worth the gamble for me because of the pedigree.

Well Samsonov's HDSV% was almost identical to Campbell's, so maybe he can replace him with a stronger defense around him

would love both of those players tbh

Oilers is becoming the Leafs West but actually with top guys leading the way and can win a series or two in playoffs.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Does anyone use sport interaction? If so, does anyone know if bets can be placed on where a player ends up signing today?

 

[Cleetus]

wonder where Vatrano is going to go,love his game also, but prob to rich of a contract

 

[Folignos Helmet]

In the spirit of all the multiverse movies this year, There are two leaf teams to cheer this season. Our current sad sack and the alternate leafs out in Edmonton.

Brown is a sold depth piece. Soup in goal and they are closing the gap on the Avs. Gotta hit on a Keith replacement.

[Cleetus]

Hope Campbell gets lit up in Edmonton sorry not sorry!

I honestly don't know. I'm hoping so?

Could we swap conference too though?

Haha true.

They do like their former leafs. Wonder if they go after mikheyev as well

He did shut down McDavid in the north division for 7/10 games

 

[57 Years No Cup]

exactly. Like that's the issue right. Take the damn L. Dorion's moves have been fantastic and it's ridiculous to argue otherwise. Does he have enough to mess it all up? Sure. But as it stands he's slapped dubas this offseason. At least lets not try and play some mind games and come out with a new type of science to justify dubas.

Hopefully kyle figures it out today.

 

[ER89]

I honestly don't know. I'm hoping so?

I mean you couldn't possibly put up a 930 in the khl without being somewhat decent at HD chances. Obviously the level is much higher in the NHL but this guy was on par if not more polished then shesty and sorokin at one time. I genuinely hope we have our goalie of the future.

Could be a fkin dooozy
