FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 The best thing TSN could say about Martin is that he hit a career high in games played last season. can already see Lou's influence and it isn't good. Last year they drafted for skill and have a lot of promising players with some upside. This year they drafted for size which is mostly stupid. Lou's team in NJ the last decade drafted horribly and developed horribly. The Leafs will be much better off when he no longer is making the hockey decisions. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 James Mirtle @mirtle 2h2 hours ago Matt Martin averaged 10:33 minutes per game last season. Career high shooting percentage. Leafs analytics team wouldn't be pushing this. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Funny how teams weren't allowed to talk to free agents until noon but when the panthers announced Reiner today at like 1 pm he was in Florida in a panthers jersey. He and April must have been walking the streets of Miami with him wearing his fave jersey from FLA when they started negotiating. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I'm in a group text that includes Ryan Jones. He was a little bitter that Dale Weise and Matt Martin got 4 year contracts. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 That's a decent contract. I would have been fine with the leafs signing him for that. I'm terrified the leafs are going to sign Kris Russell. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Starting to get worried about the Leafs. Everything from the draft on feels more like the burke/nonis regime than the shanahan/dubas regime Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Starting to get worried about the Leafs. Everything from the draft on feels more like the burke/nonis regime than the shanahan/dubas regime Yeah, I get that a little too. I really liked Dubas, and to a lesser extent Mark Hunter having a lot of input. It seems now like it's all Lou. Not that they've done anything outrageously bad, but just the vibe.

I really liked Dubas, and to a lesser extent Mark Hunter having a lot of input. It seems now like it's all Lou. Not that they've done anything outrageously bad, but just the vibe. I've voiced my concerns about Lou being the decision maker. He left Jersey a dumpster fire and he's always been a clear dictator and the one who makes the decisions and I don't know that he's capable of changing. Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of dollars off the books next year. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Im not worried about lack of signings, I'm worried about the guys we signed and the guys we've been rumoured to be in on. Also the types of guys we drafted after Mathews 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Also the types of guys we drafted after Mathews Not on the same scale but remember when they did this for freaking Clarkson You just don't ever give in to 4th liners and do anything that might hurt your flexibility to get or retain actual talent in the future. CapFriendly @CapFriendly #CapFriendly CONFIRMED Matt Martin #Leafs 2016-17= $1M ($2.5M SB) 2017-18= $1M ($1.5M SB) 2018-19= $750K ($1.5M SB) 2019-20= $750K ($1M SB) Robert Cleave @rmcleave 8h8 hours ago Robert Cleave Retweeted CapFriendly So, Matt Martin is so important to the Leafs that they gave him a deal that can't really be bought out. Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Sigh at wanting Russell for 4 years. Probably with a NTC and a stupid structure that can't be bought out. Joe Haggerty @HackswithHaggs 8h8 hours ago I'm hearing Bruins are in on D Kris Russell. Perfect candidate for B's to massively overpay. Word is he turned down 4 yrs, $17M+ w/Leafs Link to post Share on other sites
