Leaf Rumours

[hockeylover]

I wonder if Kulemin's agent and Regin's agent are friends; I think they'd get along great.

 

[Volcanologist]

Nah, he'd be comparing Kulemin with Kovalchuk or something if that was true.

 

[hockeylover]

Ewwwww. Look at this:

$3.125 million x 6 years and look at those numbers.

 

[leafman101]

I guess thats the comparison they are using.

Thats also the reason you can't give that deal to Kulemin.

After a last minute contract offer Atl fwd Colby Armstrong will test the free agent market Thurs as a ufa.

 

[Given To Fly]

Armstrong would be great

 

[MindzEye]

Torres is more or less the same guy, and will show up for half the money just to put the Blue & White on.

 

[Volcanologist]

Torres stinks. Armstrong would be nice but he'll probably end up too overpaid for us.

 

[Metalleaf]

Torres and Armstrong have virtually identical stats over their careers.

 

[Habspatrol]

Absolutely bang on

Thank you, I appreciate your loyalty to my opinion... until a better younger opinion comes along anyways.

I could see him heading back to Pittsburgh. He'd need to give them a bit of a discount mind you.

I see him getting about $3-3.5mil per year. The Pens could probably afford $2.5ish.

:cheers2:

 

[Metalleaf]

yeah, if the Leafs could get Torres for $1.5M as opposed to Armstrong at $3M, that's more than enough reason for me to prefer Torres.

 

[Habspatrol]

Torres and Armstrong have virtually identical stats over their careers.

I haven't looked at their stats but I think I'd prefer Armstrong by a bit. He just seems to be the better all around player. He's really the ideal 3rd liner... super elite even.

 

[Metalleaf]

Torres has had more 20 goal seasons, but overall they both usually fall under the 35/40 point mark, and for a player like that, a savings of potentially $1.5M is a big difference.

Now I'm just assuming Torres takes a hometown discount, otherwise I might lean more to Armstrong.

 

[Habspatrol]

I see Torres getting about $2.25-2.5 on the open market... not sure if he'd sign for less in TO or not.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

i bet you Armstrong gets 4M

 

[MindzEye]

Torres stinks. Armstrong would be nice but he'll probably end up too overpaid for us.

Armstrong is no hell either. More or less equivalent to Torres.

Armstrong will end up signing for 2.5+

 

[Metalleaf]

If the difference between Torres and Armstrong comes down to $.5, then obviously you probably go with Armstrong, but why give Armstrong $3M when we're refusing to give Kulemin that for virtually the same production.
