Smith and Gauthier both suck. Babcock doesn't trust the fourth line, and Boyle is a huge upgrade.
I'd say it's a good trade if Boyle sticks around after this season. Not so good trade if he walks.
He'll probably rot in the pressbox with Leivo :-(
Pretty much my thoughts

I get that he's an upgrade but why did they need to give up a second-rounder to get a rental upgrade in a season where everyone would still be happy if they missed the playoffs?

Ben Smith is terrible and Babcock doesn't think Gauthier is ready. I'm ok with it.
Idk. Maybe an extension is being discussed?
John Shannon is saying that there haven't been talks, but I'm not sure how the hell he would know.
I don't know if you've noticed, but you guys aren't exactly dying for a 2nd rounder in a weak draft year at the moment.
Maybe Burrows for Lazar?
Throw in Hansen too?

*prays that Pageau is finally gone*
I see it this way. If you're trading any meaningful asset for a 4th liner, you have bigger problems. It's not going to move the needle enough to make it worthwhile. True, the Leafs have one of the worst 4th lines in the league, but it's not like they couldn't have upgraded from within either. I guess what I'm saying is this is Babcock's fault.
Working on trying!
to finalize!
Fat Chance. Pageau was hand-picked by Dorion himself when he was still scouting. He was giddy like a school girl when Murray drafted him.

Froese was never breaking into this team long term, as much as I wanted him to.
Trade isn't as bad as it could have been.

I like it, that fourth line has needed something. We'll be glad to have him if we make the playoffs, and it's not like this is a crazy stacked draft.
Burrows doesn't run goalies...
His worst offenses are years behind him. At this point he's a somewhat slow agitator that will work his ass off at both ends of the ice and can play on any line. I loved having him on the Canucks, though I also recognize why other teams detested him.
The Leafs had two 2nd round picks this year anyways. Unless we trade the other one too..
I get that but the Canucks are a much classier organization than the stupid Sens who will shamelessly run goons Bruins-style
If they keep the pick I imagine they'll pick some random overrage Russian kid again who otherwise would have gone in like the 4th round

Who is going back to Vancouver?

On the bright side, this most likely means Chris Neil is retiring.

The Sens think "Piece of Shit" is a position and he needs to be replaced.
I'll miss Burrows, he's a great character guy for the team
Not the same he used to be but a great story nonetheless.
Losing Burrows&Hansen at the same time makes the team lose a lot of character...
you shut the fuck up, you got Matt Martin for 4 years.
Or maybe hes a fucking idiot. Zibby for Brassard being one of the moves.
lmao
