Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Jordie Benn

[crump]

Missing element with Boosh gone. OK with this for a depth guy. God I hope Muzzin bounces back this year.

 

[sampollock]

Another trash signing by the trash GM

On peace

Very slow d man

Do you believe that?

Benn has not been in the NHL for the past two years. He got to be Marlies Dman.

 

[All Mod Cons]

OMG, a Dman over 6’0 and over 200 pounds and who can play a physical game.
Another good depth Marlies Signing

Do you believe that?

Is this the shit people said to watch out for when Kyle wasn't done?

Why do you have to resort to this kind of crap. It seems to be a common theme with some of the regulars on here.

People have different opinions!

Benn has not been in the NHL for the past two years. He got to be Marlies Dman.

Maybe a two-way contract but why wouldn't he play in the NHL with the current Leafs structure and/or injuries?

 

[Mess]

Is he still an NHLer?

Benn dressed for 39 NHL games last year, so that makes him close to 1/2 an NHLer prorated on a full season.

However Leafs have been looking to replace the Joe Thornton beard since he departed and now have done that.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Benn wont play when we're healthy but it's good to have someone cheap who can step in and eat minutes if we're a couple injuries deep

 

[Warden of the North]

I don't get this one. No way he's playing on the Marlies. Basically ensures the Leafs run 7D on the roster full time, without figuring out Sandin, 8 if they do keep Sandin/Holl.

Why is there "no way" he's playing on the Marlies? He's a 35 year old depth defenseman journeyman

It’s not like he has leverage, .75 mill if you do as we ask or feel free to go home.

 

[thinkblue]

Wonder if Spezza was involved in this, from their time in Dallas

 

[Gabriel426]

Bc he is not good enough. Like I think a game here or two is fine but he should be on the Marlies

 

[kb]

Are you always this sensitive?

Get a sense of humor.

It's obvious you don't know the history, but I applaud you for sticking up for your "kind" of poster.

I think this is a decent depth signing.

 

[Primary Assist]

He may be a bit of a Has Benn at this stage in his career but I have faith he can contribute to the bottom pairing when needed

 

[DueDiligence]

Is he still an NHLer?

No.

 

[2 Slick]

Lots of Marlies signings in free agency. What about the main roster?

 

[Griffin76]

I just hope he's finally learned to use his laser eyes.

 

[notbias]

Some size and a guy who likes to block shots a la Gio.

Solid depth signing who might find his way into the lineup?

Call me a fossil but I like old school defensive minded defenseman. Does this mean Holl is moved for cap space? Potentially.

Guess who was #2 behind Gio for blocks?

 

[Kiwi]

I don't mind this signing

I'd rather an old guy that isn't going to cause trouble sit on the bench as the #7D than hurt the development of a younger kid

 

[notbias]

this is embarrassing frankly

[mod]

All our best players were signed already, what does everyone expect?

 

[CelticDruid]

I just hope he's finally learned to use his laser eyes.

Is this Brian Mulroney son?

 

[Racer88]

The guy is an absolute monster and a pusher man. Talking the talk, talkin like the pusher man. He looks the part, talks the part and evidently acts the part in the end. We needed his type. The polak type, who not playing a lot, but those minutes he plays, he warriors and trolls it up. Big tyme like evander kane. Wich he of course does in BIG minutes and goals. Benn, is the character model we need to build on.

We need his type but in their prime not in their old age

I think everyone is still in shock over the abysmal goalie trade so nothing looks good right now. I know I had to endure tons of abuse from my non Leafs friends today over that one.

That's the M.O.
Little to add when not spewing about how unintelligent we plebes are.

 

[Griffin76]

Is this Brian Mulroney son?

No, but that's a good one. It's Non from Superman 2.
