I'm surprised Ferland chose Vancouver, glad to have him especially at 3.5M$ That is pretty reasonable considering what he has been bringing to his teams for the past two seasons.
Barrie makes the Leafs a better team. He is a dang good player, but they wont be able to afford to re sign him. Probably happy to be rid of Kadri at this point
They are at least a playoff team, they can score some goals - but can they stop more? Not with their current roster, they need to ship out Nylander for some help in their own end. Those big contracts are going to hurt.
For sure, and teams knew the situation the Leafs were in - completely cash strapped. Van doesn't -have- to get rid of him so the minors aren't out of the question IMO. Maybe a team would be slightly more interested if he was able to clear? If he is not shipped out I don't see him playing many games in a Canucks uniform this coming season without some injuries
We can only hope.
Trade him for whatever someone offers at this point I think, I don't see a spot for him on the roster moving forward. I think it would be difficult for him to beat out any of the current wingers with the way he has been playing.
In shock, I am saddened by the news if his passing. You just never know when your time is up. As a father of young children this hits home. I actually enjoyed the content he provided and will miss his perspective going forward.
Banned maybe?
I originally signed up in 2007, and only made one post before I lost the info for the account and created the account I use now. @Surreal02 was what I started
I'm excited for Carolina. As cheesy as their little after game celebrations were... look how much those guys were enjoying playing the game. It brought the team together over the course of the season IMO. Should be an entertaining round 2.
I'm not a fan of the team, but I don't dislike them either.
