Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Pacioretty and Lorentz - 1 year deals

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Pacioretty turned out to be a great signing eh Brad.

Way to promise him a contract before even seeing him practice with the team. Another vet with amazing leadership skills. Useless as all hell when it comes to actually playing hockey though.

As hard as it is to believe this signing makes even less sense now that when it was first reported.

And it didn't make any sense at all when it was announced. The team said they were signing Pacioretty. But all I heard was they were wasting a million dollars and a roster spot.

Like I'm sure Pacioretty is a nice guy.

Too bad character doesn't win hockey games. The Leafs need to stop signing all these old men who have nothing to offer but veteran leadership. Look for younger guys with a mean streak who have at least replacement level skill.

I don't care if he's the biggest prick in the world so long as he can put the puck in the net.

Yes he has turned out to be a great signing so far, in fact all Brad's signings have been great so far.

Both were great signings.

Signing 3 depth guys from the Stanley Cup winner for cheap was a damn good strategy.


And getting a semi-healthy Patches is great. We are talking about a 7 time 30+ goalscoring big winger, who, while maybe a bit old, is now looking to be finally healthy again.

He's an upgrade over Bertuzzi, and for 1/5th of the cap hit.
