I am hoping the details on Ranger put him at 925k or below as well in case he ends up not making the club.  This signing may be a tactic in the Franson negotiations or more likely to get Fraser to come in at a lower number during the hearing.

Ranger was the Marlies best all around dman, bar none.

Really not the case since as it stands Brennan and Smith become the 7th dman and 13th forward if for no other reason other than their limited salary cap hit.  Which due to such an intense cap crunch could block guys like Ashton, D'Amigo or Holzer out.  The only guy that could supplant say Smith...

I just think that in a time when the cap is shrunk you should get a trickle down effect with the UFA and RFA signings.  We really haven't seen that at all which means that there are going to be a lot of good players looking for jobs thanks to their agents and a lot of Trevor Smith's playing in...

Colborne is a lock for the reason you stated.  The extra forward that will be in the press box or dresses for the fourth line when McLaren sits is the question.  We would like to think it is D'Amigo or Ashton but with cap hits of just over 1 mill each it is looking like it is going to be one of...

Aside from Scott perhaps and Hamilton, I doubt the Leafs wanted to keep them anyway.  I am sure they would have liked to retain Hamilton for depth but they likely didn't want to prevent Hamilton from attaining an NHL job and I think that will be a given with the Oilers.  We have lots of guys in...

I wouldn't say that is the case, Zig's production has been on the decline and at 32 he realizes he will never get a taste of the NHL again as a Leaf. I just think that in his case the Leafs don't want his roster spot blocking a prospect.  I am sure Zig is hoping that the Sabres will sign him to...

I hope your right, a quick perusal of McClement's stats his final year in Colorado would really not sell you on him but having watched him a full year in Toronto certainly did.  I hope Bolland follows in that same mold, thanks for the insight.

Other than watching some playoff games involving Bolland I will admit I haven't seen a whole lot of Bolland other than that and I have seen virtually every game Bozak has played as a Leaf.  I think Bozak would do everything Bolland will do in the third line pivot spot and then some and RC...

I think offensively he is an upgrade on Bozak.  I don't buy all the defensive third line shut down role talk either.  Like I said I think he is insurance should we not sign a first line centre and will be used in that role and if we do he will be given the third line spot or possible even used...

I think the coach, the players and the fans were all pretty equally stunned to the point of feeling almost helpless.

Did anybody listen to the Gauthier interview, it was hilarious?  I know there is a language thing going on there but even still.  When asked what team he liked growing up, he says none and that he really didn't like watching hockey, lol.  He also said in the future he hoped the Leafs would sign...

I am convinced Bozak in a third line role  would be everything you see Bolland as being but better on the draws but also with a cap hit that makes Bolland a better choice perhaps.  Actually looking purely from a statistical barometer using stats that may not totally tell the story but still...

I think everybody is assuming what Bolland brings to the table because he plays for a punishing Hawks team.  I do think he is slightly more skilled than Bozak as he can put up comparable numbers with lesser linemates and with less icetime than Bozak. However, he is atrocious in the circle, not a...

Colborne is not waiver exempt next season, so he has to stick with the Leafs.

My guess is Joe Colborne is not to happy about this deal.  Bolland will be a good influence on the team with the Stanley Cup pedigree he brings to the Leafs.

The timing of this deal is just odd to me.  Reimer has a great season, Scrivens performs well as a rookie backup.  I am ok with the price we paid though and you can never have too much goaltending depth.  I also think that we can certainly deal one of these guys away to recoup the assets lost...

When Boston scored their second goal, I was so uneasy, I could see it coming and unfortunately it did.  Tragic injustice.

Not winning any draws  is killer.  Every time Reimer froze the puck in our end I would cringe because I knew it would lead to the Bruins setting something up.  We have to shore that up next season as top priority.  This hurts so much  :-\

I am in such a dazed stupor right now.  My inbox is already filling up with cracks from Hab fans.  I would like to say this was a learning experience but I am just too battered to try and take any positive out of this.
