Solid signing for the 4th line - was disappointed when we didn't go after him at the deadline in 2023.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Ok, again, I like this.

 

[Club]

Something tells me 1) KA isn't done yet & there could be a big splash & 2) I have a feeling these 2 signings will make us a bit tougher to play against in Ruffs system

I'm very happy if true. I wanted Lafferty before he went to Vancouver.

Good with this. More please.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Finally. We will see an intentional body check this year!

 

[Samsonite23]

He did a thing!

 

[old kummelweck]

nice.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Seems like a good signing for the 4th line, though a little pricy.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

Very happy with this add. He's from central PA too, so not too far from home.

 

[jd1970]

Same plan as last year. Junk signings.

 

[Zman5778]

Lafferty with Malenstyn and maybe Greenway could be a very good 4th line.

 

[HOOats]

Solid move. How were his playoffs? Zero points in 11 games.

21 playoff games in 2024 between Beck, Lafferty, and Zucker.

 

[Faceboner]

Lafferty with Malenstyn and maybe Greenway could be a very good 4th line.

Who's center?

 

[KeyserSoze81]

Same plan as last year. Junk signings.

Don't we need bottom 6 players? Guys who can PK well, and add a little physicality? Malenstyn and Lafferty are solid adds. The team took Eric Robinson off the waiver wire last year at $1.6M. I would much rather have Lafferty at $2M over Eric Robinson at $1.6, or Tyson Jost at his last contract...

 

[Zman5778]

Same plan as last year. Junk signings.

KA flat-out said that his priority is the bottom 6.

We just got a very good 4th liner.

Not sure how this is "junk". At all.

 

[Fjordy]

Just fourth liner

 

[Dubi Doo]

Lafferty was on the Leafs last year, right? If so, I really like him for the 4th line, but am afraid this means Krebs at 3C.

 

[Steddy33]

Whining about this signing is cluelessness. Good signing.

 

[dire wolf]

Solid.

He was on Vancouver last year (2023-2024), Toronto the year before.

Best UFA signing we’ve ever had
