Leafs sign G Harri Sateri

[CarltonTheBear]

I'll be curious if Sateri even reports. I guess he does have a good chance of actually playing games there.

I'm waiting for the trade between Leafs and Yotes.

Who was a better Maple Leafs goaltender: Harri Sateri or Olaf Kolzig?

Harris Sateri.  Better name and he gave me hope.  Something Olaf Kolzig never did for me.

More like IIRI.

He never played a game for the leafs.

Not sure Arizonas plans for Sateri. Wonder if they'd be willing to part with Vejmelka. Better than Kallgren go get him Kyle.

Vejmelka?

Pfft.  I guess I was confusing him with Arturs Irbe.

At least Kolzig actually made it onto the roster...

The NHL is really a stupid league.  Hey, you have no say over where you get to play!

 

[Guilt Trip]

Hutton for Sateri would be classic..

If just feels like a super outdated rule that nobody really thought to challenge. It should just be you can't sign European guys after the trade deadline. Anything prior to that should be fair game.

 

[YYZ]

NO GOALIE FOR YOU!

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Harri Sateri lost his right to be an unrestricted free agent because the Oilers signed a Finnish defenceman in 1987.

 

[Bullfrog]

What a bizarre rule.

 

[princedpw]

Why did they do this? Seems ridiculous
