Hes not even producing anywhere and hes 5'8 He needs a chance to play, wasn’t getting that in TB. A good value signing with upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb738 Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Pretty clear the Leafs don’t see Matthews as a number 1 center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeoiler Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just to be clear, because Johnny wasn't signed before June 20th, he's in the re-entry draft across all leagues ... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they saw the opportunity to lure in another #1 center so they they are super difficult to play against. Pittsburgh has it with Malkin and Crosby. Two guys who are #1 centers on just about every team, but work in tandem to create matchup nightmares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 When talking salaries and taxes by state, don’t forget to consider fx rates. 11M USD = 14M CAD and that huge bonus for first couple of years will be close to 20M CAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Marner Tavares Hyman Nylander Matthews Marleau solid two lines. A dman and a good year from Anderson and these guys will be contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salros Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think Hyman stays with Matthews. Marleau Tavares Nylander Hyman Matthews Marner a 1st class PP of Marner Tavares Nylander Matthews Rielly and with the potential rise of Ozhiganoz, Dermott, Borgman and Liljegren and a resurgence of Zaitzev on the blueline, the Leafs should be playing a lot of Playoff games in the next 5 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawlesscdizzle Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 We know Babs is gonna throw the lines into the blender anyways in less than 5 games into the season. Leafs did take a hit on the wings though. Hopefully they can call up some talent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipper Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Kapanen, Kadri and Johnson is better than a lot of third lines out there. Kapanen and Johnson would be in most teams’ top six. Fourth line one of Brown, Cracknell, Martin? Maybe that’s a bit below average, but they can add a depth piece at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin will be gone I figure. Cracknell could be with the Marlies. I think Lindholm at Center, Brown and, well an open spot for now. I like the Grundstrom kid but not sure he’s ready. Leivo?, meh, maybe. I wouldn’t be upset with keeping Martin but he seems halfway out the door and his salary needs to go before next season. I figure Grundstrom is the new Uncle Leo come next year. I also really like that 3rd line. All 3 are defensively responsible yet with speed and a scoring ability. This is a fun time to be a Leaf fan.

Sounds like Marner/Hyman with Tavares and Nylander/Marleau with Mathews. i love the potential of Johnnson/Kapanen with Kadri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougall Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 So I've decided that the BIGGEST winner of this year's free agency signings is............ME!!!!! And all of the other hard bitten die hard Toronto based Leaf fans. It was a beautiful sign to see my team finally convince not only a quality local player to come home, but a SUPERSTAR local player to come home. Just three years ago and for the past decade none of this would have been possible. The Maple Leafs are officially no longer the Maple Laughs and have FINALLY turned the corner into a quality franchise again. No more half measures and cut and paste rebuilds. Shanahan played in Detroit and learned the most important rule by one of the best GM's Ken Holland...surround yourself with as much talent as you can. Can't wait for October!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll work as a 4th line centre. Still lots of other talent in the minors who might work with him and Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
