Confirmed with Link: Steven Lorentz signs PTO with Leafs

[Fogelhund]

Need a 3C to replace him then and run a 3rd line that can shut teams down... likely more expensive.

Why do we need the 3rd line to shut down teams, instead of the 4th? Does it matter which line is the shut down line, and which provides some secondary offense?

Bear with me with this one…

IF the leafs still sign Hakanpaa, they will only have $875,000 left. (I still think this is happening, but call me crazy)

If Cowan impresses at Camp, they will not have space for him on the team.

Lorentz allows the leafs to Pivot off a Dewar (or Reaves but unlikely) to make room for Cowan.

This is exactly what they did last year with Gregor and Lafferty.

They need a different culture, not sure if these moves will do anything but the certainty do not have a winning culture right now

They’ve tried to bring “culture” in on many instances, what they need is to take “culture” out, then you fix the real problem……..

Scored a pretty sick goal with the nice tip against Boston.
It was actually a big goal seeing they were down 1-0 in the series and 1-0 in the game.

That is actually…most likely true.

I agree 100%.

I think Hakanpaa fell through. Its a deadwood.
