The type of hits he takes --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtQlQ4ojUSU
There are a few monstrous hits in his young NHL career. They pretty much all look the same. Although most of the worst of them were
penalized, (big deal), if this guy "can" make a successful come-back, he cannot keep turning his back to the play along the boards.

Yes, I am the bubble-burster who said a team can't force a player with an NHL contract to the ECHL. :mrgreen:

Just proves Benning is asleep at the wheel. We could have afforded big Joe? Where was Benning in all of this? :mrgreen:

So, they give up a 1st to dump Marleau, but keep Spezza while signing Thornton?

Has Toons staked out his spot on the parade route yet?

Yup, speedsters Kapanen and Johnsson OUT... snails Simmonds + Thornton IN.

These guys are gonna make that slug Spezza look fast! :wow:

The Over the Hill Gang is now running the Leaves bottom six.

Longtime playoff choker joins longtime playoff choking team. :wink:

I'll bet Old Joe demanded... and got... a full NMC.

Took another huge hit as late as July in the round robin--- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtQlQ4ojUSU

He didn’t take another hit in any round robin. He hasn’t played since the end of the 18/19 season.

Doc, didn't our fishy friend say they have the best young guys in the league?

So why are they getting rid of them and loading up on old, slow slugs.

Dubas is trying to emulate the great job Benning is doing, just a few years too late. Having quality veterans as PKers & 3rd/4th liners to help the young guns through the ups/downs of a season, in the dressing room and off the ice. Imagine what a good rolemodel/teammate to Mathews would have prevented...

They had to dump the much better, much faster, much younger Kapanen and Johnsson in favour of those old speedbumps BECAUSE

... Dumbass massively overspent on other players. Image

Thornton in Toronto is perfect. Tavares, Thornton, and Spezza can take turns mentoring the kids on what it takes to not win the Stanley Cup. Was Carl Brewer busy? Oops he's dead.

They seriously think adding Thornton, Simmonds, Bogosian, and Brodie, and re-signing Spezza will put them over the top, eh?

Calgary #Flames have signed F Andrew Mangiapane
2 year / $2,425,000 deal

2020-21: $2,400,000
2021-22: $2,450,000

Mangiapane had filed for arbitration and was scheduled to go before an arbitrator on Oct 20.
Stats;. Link .^^
Roughly the same age, opposite wing but Virtanen has done more even with the attitude questions marks. Getting Jake signed to a resonable
deal means we can keep working with him and finally get him to top six status "OR", sign and trade as I think JV may be more coveted then
the local media and some of the fans think.
If Mangiapane gets that, Virtanen probably gets closer to $2.8 but the better comparable is Gaudette who was drafted a round earlier the same draft and has really, really close numbers to Mangiapane. Lucky for the Canucks there's no arbitration for him but I'm sure his agent is taking notes.
