Maple Leafs Sign Tim Connolly

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

A day after staying quiet at the start of NHL free agency, the Toronto Maple Leafs jumped in with a big splash.

The Leafs signed unrestricted free-agent centre Tim Connolly to a two-year contract reportedly worth US$9.5 million.

"This is the most excited I've been for a season in a long time," said Connolly from a hotel in the Turks and Caicos.

The move was announced Saturday only hours after marquee free-agent centre Brad Richards agreed to join the New York Rangers.

Agreed tim connolly will be a great addition to kessel and with kulimen grabo macarthur still as a line our team will be sOlid with the nice addition of Franson and Lombardi as the 3rd line C I'm liking the way this team is turning out : D. The question floating around is.. Does Burke have the balls to make a trade to get stamkos that includes schenn.. And grabo and picks.. but like they say you have to give to get

Its nice to see that Tim Connolly is excited to be a Leaf and although some fans are a little apprehensive I'm sure he will fit in just fine . Hope he doesn't take it too personally when fans say he is not exactly the signing they had hoped for .
Welcome to the mad house Tim Connolly
