I was kind of hoping we would be able to keep everyone at 3 years but this is decent vet help

 

[Alaskanice]

GMMG keeping his word. 4 years.

 

[Lebanezer]

 

[spintops]

I like it, probably had to go 4 years to get him.

Last week people were claiming we couldn't sign NHL level free agents after being so bad. I'm glad MG quickly disproved that

 

[STL Shark]

Literally the exact deal that AFP projected for Toffoli, so not really even an overpay situation.

 

[weastern bias]

Wow, wouldn't have seen him as a realistic option, he's gonna be great to pair with one of our young centers

Grier is cooking.

Anyone who thinks this is an overpay doesn't understand how good Toffoli has been in recent years.

67 goals over the last two seasons. Tied with Timo Meier and Elias Pettersson in goals since 2020.

He's definitely on the wrong side of the aging curve but he's also been a late bloomer who only took off after leaving the Kings.

 

[Levie]

You're allowed to sign free agents today? Someone tell Doug Wilson.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The Sharks got a veteran player who is still productive and can help guide the young guys. I see this as a great signing. I'm also happy the Sharks did something on Free Agency Frenzy day.

 

[Munnyro]

Good signing and all that jazz...but I still hate looking at that face.

 

[ChompChomp]

Very solid move, can't not like bringing in a proven 30 goal scorer to play with our kids!

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

I like Toffoli but I dont understand this signing, if they were pushing for a playoff spot id get it but they aren’t I assume this is there Foligino/Hall signing

 

[Juxtaposer]

Toffoli will probably not be worth $6M in that last year, but we’ll have guys like Musty, Halttunen, Chernyshov, etc. pushing for top-6 spots by that point on ELCs so Toffoli at $6M in a third line role won’t be a problem.

 

[Internazionale]

Love it. A legit sniper gets to soak in the sun for 4 years and play with top youngsters. Grier strikes again.

 

[Sysreq]

I like it. I am always hesitant to stack too many young guys on the same line. Assuming Couture makes it back, I would guess Macklin - Couture - Toffoli will be our top line. Shelters Macklin a bit but also gives him room to learn and grow. Couture can shift over to the wing as 1OA grows more and more confident in the league.

 

[coooldude]

Needed top 6 scoring, got top 6 scoring without overpaying. Slower guy but a better version of what Grier tried with Hoffman. Let's hope he keeps it up.

We're still short a middle 6 C (I assume Cooch is done) and we are still short a top four RD or guy who can play RD.

 

[sampler]

I don't mind this signing. I'd rather have March on his deal, but its not too bad. If Toffoli can keep up his scoring, 30+G for 6M is a very solid deal.

Overall, I like it. Now we need one more top 6 forward, and 1-2 top 4D.

 

[themelkman]

Great pickup, he will probably suck bad in year 4 but thats free agency for you.

 

[Jargon]

Experienced vet who is still good?! GMMG absolutely destroying this offseason, man.

We need goal scorers and a few veterans. We have a lot of playmakers and few goalscorers

It's absolutely unhealthy to development of kids to get crushed every single game like we did last year. It's like working any other job where the day is miserable and coming to work is a chore. Eventually it feels soul crushing and your effort level begins to match your feelings.



We won't make the playoffs and will still be a bad bottom team, but at least these games will be closer and we won't be forcing prospects into roles they are not ready for
