Always been seen as an analytics darling and underrated forward when healthy, just hasn't been healthy very often. Worth a bet at $1.25mil but if we only had room for one more forward I might have still preferred Tatar. Guess we'll have to see if he ends up getting a lot more than I figured he would like a bunch of other forwards.

Might be stuck with players who are more lottery tickety than others

I think I actually wouldn't mind seeing Kase on the 3rd line. He's a good 2-way player and can potentially give Mikheyev and Kampf a scoring punch when the puck goes the other way. If we waive Engvall this line-up would still have $2.8mil in space for another winger (Tatar? Ritchie?).

The MLHS analysis, which I find tends toward being as absolutely charitable as possible, leads me to think they overpaid. According to them, this guy has had 5 documented concussions at the age of 25 + other injuries. Not very reassuring.
But also not surprising. Dubas seems to overpay a bit on the low-end guys. In this case, by +$400k, according to the article. That stuff adds up.

This is an overpay? Relative to the other signings you saw this week?
-
If he can avoid injury I think this could be a steal for the Leafs this year. But for all of our financial advantages concussions aren't really something we can just make not happen. I hope this works out.
I do hope we find a way to add someone a little more reliable on a cheap deal (whether its a discount for Tatar or Ritchie or otherwise)
EDIT: I guess it's Ritchie...2 years x 2.5M

Is not an overpayment and another low risk contact. Hope he can stay healthy.

Can't we shove him on LTIR if it's an issue?

If he's injured, yup..if he stinks, to the Marlies with him..
