I like this. Low risk medium to high reward. He had a pretty rough 2023. He also can't seem to stay healthy. But if he can somehow bounce back even a little bit, he's a very good veteran that can pot some goals at a pretty affordable rate.

He's never been the fastest, so unlikely he's going to outskate anyone. He's got a strong stride, doesn't mind getting physical and has some good offensive tools.

Wonder is he pairs well with JT? Maybe with a Marner on RW to add some defensive conscience?

Not impossible but I suspect it'll be in more of a secondary role to start off. JT needs speed on his wings like Robertson, McMann, Nylander, Marner, etc.
I'd probably put him with Domi and Jarnkrok or Holmberg.
PTO so who cares, if he still has some game in him, great, but is our new goal to be the oldest team in the NHL?
This reminds me of the old Leafs where we tried to sign star players when they were a few seasons away from retirement.

Nic Robertson upon hearing this news after just agreeing to a 1 year deal

It's a PTO but it sounds like a PTO in name only, assuming he stays healthy it sounds like they want to sign him.
It would be hilarious if Brad signs him and Hakanpaa and dumps Robertson and Timmins just to ice the oldest and slowest lineup possible.

There's interest from both sides so there's likely going to be a contract once they figure out the cap but if he struggles or gets injured again, I don't think they are under any obligation to go forward, just like he can sign with any other team if they give him a huge contract for whatever reason.

Wonder what move they're working on. I'm hoping it starts with the most useless player and playoff performer on the team being shipped out and yes I am talking about Jarnkrok
Reaves to the AHL is the solution you just described.
I'd like for more than 1 or 2 forwards on the team to know what the defensive end looks like.

Jarnkrok is a PKer and gives goal scoring to the bottom 6. I'd be shocked if his bargain deal is moved. More likely it is someone like Kampf given the options for 4th line C with Dewar, Minten, Holmberg, and players on the Marlies 2.5 is a lot for a 4th line C.
Yes I know Kampf is a main Pker as well but the difference is Jarnkrok is a bargain deal and Kampf isn't

It would be nice to troll MTL fans. Just the sight of him in the blue and white will gut punch them.

The radio heads were saying the Leafs were making a trade to FIT Max in, which may mean full contract
