Leaf Rumours

cervenka looked pretty out of place at the oympics. as for using him to get to jagr -- jagr has reupped in russia. looks like an nhl return isn't in the cards.

cervenka, imo, will be like leino (ie.. not much).

Still, a free player is a free player.

There's no harm in signing him to a 1-2 yr deal and seeing what he's got.
 
Not sure how close we are to the limit, but people have to remember that NHL teams have a limit of 50 player contracts they can carry into any season. These would include your pro and farm teams and any rookie contracts you're hoping to assign.
 
well lets see .... 22 for the big club, 22 for the minor leafs and 6 rookies ... dammit, I sure am glad that we traded away that first because it would have put us over the player limit.....
There has to be more to that rule than just 50 straight player contracts ..... in 3 years you could have 10 rookie contracts in junior alone.
 
And many of those players are on ECHL or AHL contracts, not NHL contracts. That's why when calling a player up they have to be given an NHL contract if they have not already been signed by the club to a big-league level deal.

They don't count when they're sent back to junior.
