I belies Reimer is going to avoid the sophomore slump next season. Yes we’ll see some regression to the mean, but I do expect to see him around .910 whn the season’s over. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a goalie who has that combo of 110% effort on every save, plus a genuine and unflappable mentality.

by lucc on Jul 31, 2011 2:46 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions

Four of these are against the Bruins

So it isn’t just me who thought Leafs-Bruins games were by far the most entertaining games last season? Or Bruins games in general, if you count beating Montreal’s faces in (literally) in an 8-5 win and then beating their faces in again in the playoffs

Leafs ink Hounds Broll to entry level contract

By The Sault Star

Posted 12 hours ago

PETER RUICCI

The Sault Star

It’s rare for a sixth-round draft choice to be signed to a NHL contract before the Ontario Hockey League season even begins.

But Soo Greyhounds rugged left-winger David Broll believes a strong showing at their recent prospects camp enticed the Toronto Maple Leafs into inking him to a three-year, entry-level deal last Friday.

The six-foot-two, 225-pounder is slated to begin his third OHL season in September.

“All I could say was ‘Wow. That’s awesome,’” Broll said Sunday, when asked how he reacted to news the Leafs wanted to sign him. “Yeah I was surprised.”

So was his agent, Jason Harshaw of JPL Prospect Hockey Agency, Broll recalled.

“He called me and told me it doesn’t happen a lot,” said Broll, an 18-year-old native of Mississauga, Ont. “But I had a good prospect camp. I stood out and that helped them make their decision.”

Selected by the Leafs with the 152nd pick of the June 24-25 Entry Draft, Broll joined the Hounds in a Jan. 10 trade with the Erie Otters.

One of roughly 40 players, he attended the Leafs July 4-7 prospects camp at MasterCard Centre in Etobicoke.

Players were split into two teams for on-and-off-ice workouts.

“I did well,” said Broll, chosen by the Otters with the 10th overall selection in the 2009 OHL draft. “I showed my complete game and how I can play. I was physical, I shot the puck and kept my feet moving. When I walked out after the last day of camp I knew I’d turned some heads.”

Apparently, he did just that.

Broll said the Leafs talked to Harshaw a couple of days after camp ended and told the agent his client had performed well.

A week later, they contacted Harshaw again and said they wanted to offer Broll a contract.

After the draft, Leafs general manager Brian Burke told QMI Agency: “With two of our picks this year we took guys with a pretty good disposition to belligerent play, and this kid (Broll) is one of them.”

As an OHL rookie, Broll scored nine times and set up nine others in 64 games during the 2009-2010 season.

He had eight goals and 14 assists in 41 games with the Otters before joining the Greyhounds in a deal that sent Sault native Brett Thompson the other way.

In 24 games with the Hounds last season, Broll managed five goals and seven assists.

As part of the NHL contract, Broll receives a signing bonus of $142,500, to be paid over the three years of the deal. He expects to receive his first cheque in the next couple of weeks.

His plans are to possibly purchase a car for himself and a present for his family.

“It’s a really good confidence-booster,” Broll said of the Leafs decision to sign him now. “But they’re telling you that this is for real now. It’s a business. They’re not playing games. And it’s made me think that it really doesn’t matter where you’re drafted. It’s how much hard work you put in and how hard you train after that.”

After spending the holiday weekend camping with friends, including Hounds teammates Daniel Catenacci and Ryan Sproul, Broll said it’s time for him to return to work.

His plan is to be more consistent during the 2011-2012 season “producing throughout the whole year and not just in spurts,” he said.

Asked how badly he wants to play in the NHL, Broll answered quickly.

“It’s my life, man,” he said. “I don’t want to do anything else.”

Hmm. Devils have placed Trent Hunter and Colin White on waivers.

Is it even possible to argue that Rolston was a PURE salary dump now?

Buying them both out

Devils put Colin White and Trent Hunter on waivers for the purpose of a buyout. Will give them plenty of cap space.

White’s buyout cap hit will be $1-million over next two years. Hunter’s will be $666,667 for the next four years.

Devils will gain 3.333 mil in cap space for this year and next.

This is where a witty signature might go.

Unless they sign a UFA D-man (McCabe, Hannan, etc.)

They may have to bring in Larsson whether they originally wanted to or not.

NJD defense currently has Volchenkov, Tallinder, Greene, Salvador (if he doesn’t get waived), Corrente, Mark Fraser, Mark Fayne.

After those first 3 (1 defensive dman, 2 mediocre dmen) it is a steep dropoff.

I gotta think they sign Hannan to a 1-year. Is there anyone else out there? Maybe they’ll go the trade route.

Yeah, I’m a little confused – I understand buying out Hunter, but White looks like he didn’t do too badly last season. 2nd in qualcomp, 3rd in corsi rel qoc, 49.1% OZone start, 50.6 Ozone finish, still more shots and misses for per 60 than against… sure, 6 points in 69 games, and he didn’t even play 19 TOI, but to save $2M in cap this year, and lose $1M next year, it seems like you should probably have someone to take up his slot.

This is where a witty signature might go.

Does anyone know what happened with the Islanders vote today?

I’m seeing vague references to it on twitter but nothing conclusive on whether the vote for the new project passed.

In case anyone hadn't heard

Jonas Siegal was let go of AM640 a while back, but apparently just got hired by TSN. Not a bad upgrade. Wonder if he’ll still cover Leafs or the entire NHL now.

It could be because they don’t plan on joining the bidding war for the Leafs radio rights.
