New GM Trades and Signings Part 2

[Dreakmur]

Not a bad strategy but you can pick off the odd undervalued player today as well

Don't do anything nuts but don't let the talent bleed dry

Schenn is the only guy signed today that I really wanted the leafs to sign. Miles Wood and Ryan Graves would have been good too. There’s lots still out there.

 

[BM14]

Klingberg!!

 

[Ale Brew]

Only counts as $775,000 against the cap if he isn't healthy

But they get hammered on the cap next year if he hits his bonus.

 

[PromisedLand]

Extremely curious why the Leafs aren't announcing their deals.

Makes me think there's a big one coming and they're going to do it all at once

blockbuster deal incoming?

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Klingberg? So random

Uh... why? We have Timmins to put up offense and play poorly defensively.

 

[weems]

Well Klingberg definitely has offensive skills but his defensive abilities can be pretty bad sometimes no?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He was arguably the worst defenseman in the league last year (in terms of actual defense).

 

[BM14]

He was arguably the worst defenseman in the league last year (in terms of actual defense).

He's there to be sheltered and add an element to the PP we've been missing for 10+ years.

 

[Marshy]

Sorry but Klingberg is crap. Eff this team.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

He's there to be sheltered and add an element to the PP we've been missing for 10+ years.

We have Timmins already.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I mean transition offense and offense in general from the defense was a pretty massive issue for us last year. Wouldn't want to pay him very much but I can see the fit.

 

[myleafs]

Acciari 2m > Kampf 2.4m

Weve lost all the grit we added, bring on the vanilla.

If Reaves is any indication I dont think Vanilla is what Tre is going for

 

[Brobust]

If Klingberg is a reclamation project type of contract, I actually love it.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Oilers taking their Leafs obsession to new levels, signing our AHL guys to NHL deals

 

[htpwn]

Hoefenmayer to EDM.

Another former Leaf to the Oilers. lol.

 

[Dr.Funk]

He's there to be sheltered and add an element to the PP we've been missing for 10+ years.

Unless Klingberg is dirt cheap we could have brought back Gustafson if we wanted all O and no D

 

[Schenn]

My unrealistic Karlsson dream is over.

 

[Gabriel426]

Can we all be happy that the Leafs didn’t sign Engvall to 7 yrs

 

[Canada4Gold]

Klingberg wasn't very good last year but if it's reasonable I'm intrigued

 

[BertCorbeau]

I don’t mind the Klingberg signing as depth but they need to sign a big more physical body like Schenn

 

[klmdg]

Stevie Y has lost his f***ing mind

 

[BM14]

We have Timmins already.

Timmins...who falls down more than me at beer league....

 

[francis246]

Klingberg? So random

Not exactly. The leafs were one of the worst at producing offense from the blue line. The Klingberg signing makes sense from that point of view. You need secondary scoring anywhere you can get it.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Klingberg is an outstanding signing. Feels weird man.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Timmins...who falls down more than me at beer league....

But he's bad defensively and puts up points in sheltered minutes. Much like Klingberg.
