lionsfan_94 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 it seemed to me that everytime i saw this guy play he was throwing his weight around, getting under peoples skin fighting and winning. is he under contract? if not, whats his deal? it seems, although he is a little small, that he could be pretty valuable 3rd or 4th winger, at a minimum salary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeDs 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 I enjoyed watching Bootland play and I though he added some grit to the team. He is an agitator not an enforcer. There is no way he can go at with the heavyweights in the NHL game after game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionsfan_94 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 any idea what his contract status is? i agree, more of an agitator than enforcer, but he has more grit than most of the current wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barnes52 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 He's an RFA who was offered a contract but has yet to sign, I hear rumors that he may move on. He didn't get along with Greg Ireland (Griffs coach) and there was some tension about what his role should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ManiacStan 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 This guys seems like a player that if we lose, sometime in the future it'll come up and bite us in the ass later. Keep him cause he might turn some big heads sooner or later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CupCrazy22 6 Report post Posted August 15, 2005 I gotta agree too...losing him would be bad. He would have been a good guy to play 3rd or 4th line if we couldn't sign someone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he signs with another NHL affiliate we'd get compensation, otherwise we retain his rights with the qualifying offer. Maybe playing on an independent team would be good for him.
