Yup. Ritchie has played much better the last 4-5 games. Big hits and screens

It’d be excellent to keep him cheap, maybe a stable term, like 2.5/5 or 3/4, but if not then at least he got to build his game back up.
Love him, he’s fearless and skilled, and he’ll even agitate.

Ideal mix of skill and tenacity - these are the types of players that build championship teams. Now if only he could rub off on our leaders and highest paid players.
All the free agents have had good compete levels (with exception to Ritchie but at least his toughness/skill mix has been a welcome addition).... it's the existing roster that still is emotionless and soft (outside of Simmonds).

He's the winger version of Grabovski .. I hope his health can keep up but I fear he'll put something in a bad position and get badly hurt.
Still heck of a player though, what a great depth pickup.

Kase has been good! What a surprise…I did not know how valuable of a player he was.
He is exactly the type of guy you want on your team in the playoffs.

A nice little cherry on top is that Boston didn't even give him a QO so the Leafs were able to grab him and retain his rights as a RFA in the off-season.

The cherry on top of that cherry is Kase and Ritchie are currently outproducing Nick Foligno 20 to 4, and they make $50K less combined than Foligno. We're definitely looking good in that non trade with Boston.

Kampf Kase and Bunting for the same price as Kapanen is one of the best bang for the buck offseasons I've seen.
He’s your ideal third line winger and someone who can play up in your lineup if needed. Excellent pickup in the off-season.

Excellent player, Dubas did very well there.
Wonder what he'll pay him next year?

I did not realize how hard this guy works .. combined with his skill and he is a solid pickup .. hope we can keep him given CAP issues
He’s playing good but he’s not blowing it out of the water and given his injury history I doubt he prices himself out of Toronto.
9 F 5 D and 1 G signed for next year at 76.1M .. CAP is 82.5M .. leaves us 6.4M left .. Soup getting 5M likely so either a lot of changes incoming or not much left to sign 3 forwards and 1D
Campbell seems like someone who actually loves being a Maple Leaf. It’s where his career really took off and where he’s gotten the best opportunity. I can see Campbell leaving some money on the table in order to stay a Maple Leaf. I can see 4 million per over 5 years.
An option could be moving Mrazek in order to free up cap space. Maybe make a move for someone like Martin Jones to backup Soup. Don’t see Jones making more than what he signed for this past season which is 2 million.
If the Leafs choke in the playoffs, I think Marner needs to be traded to shake things up, etc… Salary seems pretty limited right now but a lot of possibilities. I’m not too worried.

I find that the Leafs is a lot harder to play against when Kase is healthy and doing his thing.
