Leafs Sign Shawn Matthias

[herman]

I'm going to line them up this way:

Deadline Tradebait	Please take him	If the price is right...
Parenteau	Bozak	Kadri
Arcobello	Lupul	van Reimsdyk
Matthias	Frattin	Panik
Spaling		Holland
Winnik		Komarov

I don't understand the categories.

I have now highlighted the headers better to minimize confusion.

The first column is for those 1-year UFA deals at the deadline.
The second column are the players I think we should just move if given the opportunity.
The third column are the players who have current value and I'd look to eke more value out of in any deals.

In any case, no one listed is part of the long-term solution when we intend to contend.

I spaced it out to make it clearer.

Oh smart! Thanks!

I suggest a different colour, perhaps with some blinking text.

I suggest a different colour, perhaps with some blinking text.

Speaking of blinking, how much do you think Matthias should get fined for an improper lane change?

Couldn't find the blink tag.

 

[Frank E]

Red Wings pick in 2006, but never played in their system. Went over to Florida in the Bertuzzi trade.

 

[Highlander]

Improper lane change, 75000 lupins.

Depends on his compete level during the change.

 

[Kin]

Well, at this point you have to figure some trades are coming. I wonder if they have deals lined up for guys like Bozak or Holland or whoever and are just waiting to see it all play out.

[bustaheims]

The Leafs are putting together a nice group of hardworking trade-bait.

 

[LuncheonMeat]

I expect no less than 15 picks in next year's draft.

 

[herman]

If we can ship out Bozak + another contract, would you pick up Booth and Santorelli again to go with Matthias? just to complete the Panther>Canuck>Leaf collection.

 

[Bullfrog]

I have to assume his 18 goals last year was somewhat like Clarkson's 30 goal season?

No. I'd like to see some youth on the team next year and already the Leafs have too many forwards under contract. Hyman and Bailey should be on the team next year and there is a point of diminishing returns when adding veterans.

What say you fancy-stats guys?

Bozak sure, but Holland? F hope not. I'd like to see him get some heavy minutes under B and see what happens.

I don't now.  In the lockout year he had 14 goals in 48 games (24 goal pace).  I think with a sizeable role that maybe he overachieves and looks to be on a 20 goal pace come the draft deadline.

Holland wouldn't be my first choice either but at some point you just have to look at the roster and look at who might get squeezed out. I assume that they want the guys they've signed to make the team and they've added quite a few centers.
