Confirmed with Link: Leafs Sign D William Lagesson (1 year, $775k) - Recalled 2023-10-27

[OVO16]

Unpopular opinion but I like both Laggeson and Benoit over Giordano

I think Giordano is washed and is only in there due to name power

 

[Enniskillen]

Just love Lagesson and Benoit. Great 3rd pair, physical and belligerent in a good way. Holl can continue to suck in a ghetto city and eat punches from RNH.

 

[Buds17]

The only "downside" here is having to throw someone in above his station (top four) due to the various injuries on the blueline. Can't really complain about what Lagesson has done thus far given the AAV he pulls in.

 

[The Iceman]

I thought this looked more deliberate.

I have not a doubt in my mind Marchand was intentional.

I did not get that intention at all with the Laine.

Gio still gives it his all. Great shot blocker.

I see Gio as an awesome #7 at this point

Pretty distinct kicking motion. Marchand was more subtle and of course he has a reputation for it.
