Leaf Rumours

true. $4.75 ain't cheap but it isn't like he was totally awful last year. he managed a 40 point pace playing most of the season with garb on the leafs 3rd line.
 
Lombardi and Connolly were both those guys for me that I would scribble down what I'd like to see in a roster and then realize I left their names off of it and we still had them under contract. It's hard to find a place for them and still get Naz in there and I think he's earned that.
 
yeah no reason for a team with no cap concerns not to pick him up. he'll only cost them $2.5m ish and he's an upgrade for most teams in the league.
 
The only thing I'm surprised with, is that if you're interested in picking up Connolly on waivers...why not called Nonis a few days ago and see if you can give up a mid round pick to have Nonis eat half of the salary/caphit for the year?

I much prefer this though.

The New York Islanders need all the picks they can get for their upcoming "We'll give you ALL our draft picks this year for Seth Jones" trade proposal.
 
True enough....but I don't think a 4th would have mattered much to that proposal. Still, if they want to spend the money, have at it.

I was just kidding.

But yeah, I'm not complaining if they want to take the whole amount. We've been complaining about overpaid vets keeping their spots over talented kids for a while now, so I'm pretty happy.

Let's just hope it's made official shortly.

Hahaha. Zing!

In any event, provided that it is a minimal investment, which it would be, I'll simply parrot the previous responses: one can never have enough NHL defenders on the 23-man roster.

Apparently if Rielly wasn't available at 5, we had an offer out to Buffalo to trade the 5th and 35th for 12th and 21st.

All sorts of no. The difference between the 5th and 12th best players in the draft. The quality difference between 21st and 35th is usually a matter of preference.
