Dangle: A Pitch to Prospective NHL Free Agents

Lately there has been a lot of talk of pending free agents signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Steve Dangle attempted to put together a recruitment video to entice all pending NHL free agents, or at very least, one of them.

[@JonathanMonaco-wr4si]

Nice of Phaneuf to make a cameo

[@maxxmarko8]

My favorite part was the camera man. Kudos to Sportsnet for supplying Steve with a great, improvisational cameraman. Steve and cameraman make great tandem

[@EctoPlasmic]

Nailed it Steve!

[@TheSMSpider]

This is amazing

[@jeffhill6769]

Brilliant!

[@infernodo5034]

Be-leaf in #Stamkos2016

[@theHiddenFatality]

This is golden lol

[@ThatsBadTV]

I loved this lol loved all the Stamko's references

[@GingerBreadGroyper]

Wait this was about stamkos?

[@ThatsBadTV]

+Lucas Yetzer I don't actually know.. good question

[@G714-k8q]

Markham Waxers jersey framed! PREEECH STEVE DANGLE!!!

[@Decembersown21]

The Rogers Center looks like a County Jail ...

[@thetav141]

Roasted!!!!!!!

[@CiPhEr505]

If a certain Tampa Bay forward re - tweets this, the game is on

[@ragames1678]

I wonder who this video was directed at

[@MsHighZee]

THIS is the video Dubas used to convince JT to sign

[@itsnothardev]

effing glorious

[@eldingo617]

First to re-sign: Jay and Dan.

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

STEVE!!! SHOW THIS TO FREDDY ANDERSEN!!!!!

[@mikesheerin7607]

Laugh out loud funny

[@victorruso7807]

unreal

[@SpenceDangles]

LMAO

[@NickleAskew]

1:51 I never knew you were so big that you could hold Dion Phaneuf in your hands

[@jorins_4381]

+BigReg90 yaaa...can't say I saw that coming

[@poopsmcgee2k6]

@stevenstamkos accidentally liked this video.

[@voulapost]

+poopsmcgee2k6 YEAHHHHHHHHH

[@jorins_4381]

This was beautiful

[@MichaelScott075]

+Jori N-S this IS beautiful.

[@RichCoffey]

this pitch clearly sold Matt Martin, impressive...

[@patrickthemango756]

That jacket must have been free

[@diminutivefeline]

Dank reference bro!

[@ClaymanV]

+Seraj Farabi-Iverson I mean, we're all here to see Steve.
Like, literally this time.

[@Kebabscout]

''Are you maybe a captain of a divisional rival? Is your contract expiring July 1st?''
Let''s just pretend you didn't say ''superstar forward'', so I can wonder why Leafs would be interested in Willie Mitchell :>

[@tariqsiddiqui2887]

omg yes. This is the best recruitment video i've ever seen. I'm a caps fan but I hope Stammer signs with the Leafs.

[@colehayes2281]

The video worked for Polak and Martin

[@atarileaf]

2:00 - um you forgot about Auston Matthews. Oh wait, time travel. Never mind.

[@Takhar7]

A pylon shows up in a video, and Phaneuf isn't mentioned!? 0 stars!

[@308MiA]

I want another one of these for this upcoming year pls, I laughed my ass off

[@demonfromwithin]

Stamcock 2016. First they all laughed, soon they will all cry

[@ragames1678]

I'm pretty sure they're laughing, but not at what you think. Lol

[@MJFSniper81]

Lmao I was at the game last night and a guy in my section had a sign say Stamcock 2016 😂

[@ragames1678]

MJFSniper81 I'd vote for Stamcock over Trump.

[@rndmderek262]

I would love to see Stamkos go to Toronto!

[@mikefarino4368]

This is perfect coming from an Islanders fan

[@DisturbedRocks]

1:38 hahahahahaaa

[@clarenceleblanc4920]

Just considering signing with leafs has Him in a scoring slump...

[@rebeckymo]

I died at "ancient carving of the Leafs' last Stanley Cup parade." Genius! Should make your videos out of the Blue Room more often Steve, this was fun.

[@trevorcavanaugh165]

This has gotta be the funniest thing I've seen all week. Great job, Dangle.

[@sergeib1233]

How is this not tampering? Sportsnet is owned by Rogers, Rogers owns the Leafs. Smells fishy to me.

[@liveslowlivesimple]

this is so good lol and subtle :p

[@thomasianni4934]

This would be so funny if he ends up signing with the Habs lol...
You know, because they have a legitimate chance of winning.

[@jalenwalner6837]

+Thomas Ianni Hey do the Habs still have a legitimate chance of winning? LMFAO

[@thomasianni4934]

+Jalen Walner Well this is awkward.......................

[@308MiA]

Thomas Ianni lmao ah man

[@maxxmarko8]

My favorite part was the camera man. Kudos to Sportsnet for supplying Steve with a great, improvisational cameraman. Steve and cameraman make great tandem

[@kakarroto007]

LMAO. That was pretty cool. ("Dude, I just need 5 bucks for admission." "NO." "Just ten bucks, bro.")

[@Scionofgreyhaven]

You could be the captain of the blue & white, Canada's team, play along with superstars like Nylander, Marner, Rielly, Mcdavid, Crosby, Tavares, c'mon home already

[@mashedpotatoes6225]

I don't want Stamkos yet. We don't have enough players/prospects to compete yet and if we sign him by the next couple of years Stamkos will make the team much better together with our prospects/young players becoming better therefore resulting in later draft picks and eventhough you might be able to come out with steals from later picks (Karlsson, Eberle, Giroux, Larkin etc...) it's not worth to risk it. If we had another potential top 2 d-man and 1 potential elite center then yes, of course sign him. I think we would be better off building our own core with primary those 2 pieces than sign Stamkos now.

[@AverageAsianFilms]

My Finnish friend played in the VHL in Russia, showed him this video he said
"Never Toronto." I think I can get him to come around

[@WhiteCanada1]

JVR Stamkos Marner
2020 cup line BABY!
Reilly Chychrun
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO whatta beauty

[@ricefolyfe5764]

NYLANDER TOOOOOOOOO

[@iAmEricEvans]

Plot Twist: Steve Dangle is the one that convinced the other superstar captain who wears 91 to sign here

[@karnak333]

Stamkos grew a leafs fan; he knows all this shit anyways. Good video nonetheless.

[@levitch]

We Want Stamkos! (clap clap clapclapclap)
We Want Stamkos! (clap clap clapclapclap)
We Want Stamkos! (clap clap clapclapclap)

[@iam007richie]

Hey Leafs Nation lets tweet this vid to Stammer everyday till July 1st ;)

[@Joel.Stickland]

I thought the pylon was gonna symbolize Dion Phaneuf

[@pyry1948]

real headline "Steven Stamkos recruitment video!

[@CM-oe7hi]

We don’t deserve Steve Dangle. This is a Masterpiece

[@NatsRock16]

Funniest thing I've seen in a while. SteveDangle

[@HAPPYPANDA53]

best recruitment video ever 👍

[@Nikhilinho]

Maybe just maybe Tavares 2018? Maybe just as a playoff loan at the trade deadline?

[@UzumakiNaruto_]

Or maybe the Leafs just get Tavares FOR SEVEN YEARS! :D :D :D

[@futureismine3295]

Yeah! Gary Roberts!

[@josepharte]

John Tavares....???

[@Th3xTopak]

AUSTON MATTHEWS!

[@supercooled]

Hey, Dion makes a cameo.

[@joelvelimir9374]

come home stamkos!

[@joshisbadatthis2174]

@JohnTavares

[@Acmallsb40]

Love it, Steve!

[@alexanderbridgemohan3326]

They got JT

[@beaversquad2318]

I think he was talking about Kopitar

[@GingerBreadGroyper]

Ya the Kings are in the same division as the leafs.

[@cbjgirl23]

i am waiting for a part 2 to this video.

[@308MiA]

cbj23 part 2 for a top defensemen coming off a contract.... no one in particular
