Leafs sign Forbort

Cheap alternative to signing Pietrangeloe. I believe Forbort can play RHD, but I'm not 100% sure. If I remember correctly, he was playing RHD before he became Doughty's partner last year. I know he spent most of this season and last playing top line beside Doughty. Of course, Doughty had his two worst years of his career the last two years, so that might not be something to brag about. But what we do know is that Forbort is capable of playing top line minutes holding the fort with a Norris capable offensive defenseman as his partner.

It would only work if Forbort can play RHD. We have too many LHD already. I'm already expecting Leafs to trade Dermott if he can't play RHD.

Good prop in that Petro won't be signing here if the cap stays flat. Forbort a poor man's version.

Again. Just thinking about a plug to fill that 1RHD for a year to let our guys develop some more. Forbort is a poor man's version of Pietro is exactly how I see it too. Considering it only cost Calgary a 4th at the deadline for him, I'm kinda surprised Dubas didn't do it.

I think zadorov should be a target if we are leaning towards a lhd playing the right side.

30 Mar 2020 19:44:33
That's a good point. If we can't find a true RHD and need plug in a LHD in RHD spot, maybe there are better choices. Hainsey should be available. Maybe we can get him back? He clicked rather well with Reilly.

Also, Calgary has a bunch of UFA defensemen about to hit the market. Maybe we could think about signing one of them?

Zadorov I would like as well but I don't want Dubas negotiating the contract lol.

30 Mar 2020 22:39:58
What do you think zadorov is worth? To me 4-4.5 would be something I’d do.

31 Mar 2020 18:34:38
I think you can probably get Zadorov for around the $4M mark as well. Maybe less. He is a solid defenseman that can truck people over. I would love a guy like that on the team. Just one. That would be enough to keep the other team from taking liberties with our goalie.

31 Mar 2020 19:42:56
4m to any other team. 8m to Dubas lol.

01 Apr 2020 00:11:22
Yeah. And only for a three year term. Lol.

I expect to see Zadorov traded this off-season. I would be very surprised if he is not. And I am very curious to see what he goes for.

Other defense en I expect to get traded and I'm very curious about value is Ristolaonen and Manson. Perceived value on these two guys is all over the place. No congruence whatsoever. Would like to see what they are worth on the open market. See what an actual real gm would be willing to pay for these guys will really help us armchair GM's in our fake trades. They should just listen to us and do what we tell them. We are the fans that pay their wages after all. (That was a joke) .
