Absolutely love this signing for Toronto if it happens. Zero risk signing, maybe a 20-25% chance Patches is still an effective middle six forward, if so suddenly the Leafs aren't screwed at LW anymore. Probably a cheap deal too, if Patches is too injured you haven't really lost anything. Also good for the dressing room if he sticks. Good move Tre

So if Pacioretty signs the Leafs have in no particular order.

Marner
Nylander
Jarnkork
Pacioretty
Robertson
Knies
Mcmann
Reaves
Cowan
Dewar
Holmberg
Lorentz

That is 12 wingers

11 of which we know can play NHL minutes.

There appears to be a logjam at wing

Not sure Patches is what the Leafs need to go deeper in the playoffs but could definitely work if he's cheap enough.

Well probably will be injuries so it will all work out.

Under Berube it's hard to imagine Robertson playing above McMann but you never know. Especially if the plan is to give Robertson a small window to show he's a top 6/9 guy and if not, he'll be moved.

my guess is
Knies-Matthwes-Marner
Domi-Tavares-Nylander
Pacioretty-Kampf-Jarnkrok
Robertson-Holmberg-Reaves
leaving Cowan, Minten, Dewar and McMann as spares
There is no way McMann will sit to start unless he gets injured again. More of a chance that Kampf gets traded somewhere and Dewar slots into his role at C while Reaves gets sparingly used.

I agree . I think Berube will like his play style . He was very good down the stretch ( prior to injury ) .

Just hopign that the Leafs don't play the "bonus" game with him.

Next year has the potential to be a massive repreive from a cap perspective. Don't mess it up by signing yourself up for cap penalties if Pacioretty hits reasonably attainable bonuses.

Let his "bonus" be his next contract, as presumably he'll get an opportunity in the Leafs top 6 at some point.
