Report Card - Colton Orr

Name/Position – Colton Orr – RW/LW
Height/Weight – 6’3”/225lbs
09/10 Games Played - 82 Goals - 4 Assists - 2 Points – 6 Plus/Minus – minus 4
08/09 Games Played – 82 Goals - 1 Assists - 4 Points – 5 Plus/Minus – minus 15
Salary/Cap Hit - $1 Million/ $1 Million

Analysis – Colton Orr was signed by Brian Burke last summer, to add grit and size to the 4th/3rd line and play a smart defensive game. One of only 3 Toronto players to play all 82 games, Colton Orr knew his roll.

Orr managed 23 fights this year, with a record of 11 wins - 8 losses - 4 draws (Fight stats from http://www.hockeyfights.com/players/1483/fightcard/reg2010)

His minus 4 is a huge improvement from the minus 15 last year, and minus 13 the year prior to that. His 239 penalty minutes led the Leafs, and was enough for second in the league, trailing only Tampa Bay's Zenon Konopka who had 265.


His 4 Goals and 6 points were also career highs.

At a cap friendly hit of $1-million a year, and signed through to 2012-13, Colton Orr is a great building block moving forward!

GradeA+ (a player who knew his role, and played it well)
