Leaf Rumours

I don't flucking understand the delay in the a)counting of the votes. (apparantley already done) and b) once ratified say game on.... fax that shite to the exec office and GO ALREADY
 
Yeah let's ignore important legal procedures. Once the Memorandum of Understanding is written up and completed, then they can start wheeling and dealing.

And my understanding of an MOU is that it is a place holder until the CBA can be drafted.

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is a document describing a bilateral or multilateral agreement between two or more than two parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action. It is often used in cases where parties either do not imply a legal commitment or in situations where the parties cannot create a legally enforceable agreement. It is a more formal alternative to a gentlemen's agreement.

Whether or not a document constitutes a binding contract depends only on the presence or absence of well-defined legal elements in the text proper of the document (the so-called "four corners"). The required elements are: offer, consideration, and acceptance. The specifics can differ slightly depending on whether the contract is for goods (falls under the Uniform Commercial Code [UCC]) or services (falls under the common law of the state).

When MOU is signed and legal to sign players, TOR will sign defenceman Mike Mottau to a contract. Also, reported earlier, Cody Franson.
 
Mike Mottau's contract is 2 way, before people lose their shit.

According to a hockey source, Toronto Maple Leafs will sign free agent defenseman Mike Mottau to 2-way, 1-yr deal when new CBA is in effect

Yeah, Motteau is just an AHL signing, which makes sense, with it being possible that the Marlies may lose their best two defensemen (Gardiner & Kostka) to the Leafs.
 
From Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts:

12. Wonder if Phoenix is sniffing around Toronto's Matthew Lombardi. He skated there during the lockout and apparently has good chemistry with some of the Coyotes.
Maybe there's a fit. Probably wouldn't cost a ton and might be a good change for everyone.
 
probably wouldn't cost a ton?

if anybody offered anything of any value for lombardi nonis would be driving him to the airport.

the problem with lombardi IS cost, though.. in that at $3.5 mn he'd probably cost too much for a team like phoenix to take on.
 
Lombardi and Connolly should both be tradeable this season. They're both still capable of playing on some teams bottom 2 lines at the very least, with the short season they're only due about half their salaries and they're expiring contracts which means no financial commitment beyond this season. A team not close to the cap max or a contender might see them as valuable depth acquisitions.

Unless the Leafs are getting a draft pick or prospect back, I'd keep them for depth purposes and just let their contracts expire at the end of the year. Or use them as filler in a bigger deal.

Over a 48 game season though, Lombardi doesn't cost 3.5 millie, he costs 2.05. The Leafs can pick up half of that as well if I remember the rule properly.
 
I hate that Lombardi is possible taking up a starting spot from a potential youngster. He has no long term future with the team and it's debateable whether he's as good as some potential AHL options.
 
I hope that's smoke and mirrors to make gillis realize that we don't have to have luongo. Although Bernier and Reiner could be a tandem.
 
I could've sworn he or one of the other well respected media guys just said they WEREN'T interested in Bernier like last week. And I posted it here.
