Bozak!

Columbus slowly becoming Australia for the Maple Leafs

Timbo is going HARD after Stamkos

He's right, but Stamkos isn't that kind of player.

Tim Murray notes a lot of teams will offer Stamkos a similar financial package, but not many can offer him the advantage of "geography."

:lol

 

[DopeyFish]

This leafs trade is probably going to be minor

When im sitting here F5ing, that usually seems to be the case

 

[shadowkat]

I know how you feel, and am sorry to hear that.

My Mom fought lung, then metastasized brain cancer, for several years. I took her to most appointments, looked after her and helped her when she couldn't walk. We unfortunately lost her just a couple of months ago, so it's been devastating.

The hospital called several days before she passed and said they thought they saw another tumour in her chest.

I miss her so much.

Sorry about your mom.

Benning fined...

Read this as "fired" and was happy for Canucks fans for a brief second.

Sorry to hear about your mom, chewie.

We're just hoping for the best right now. She might get surgery or something next week hopefully.

 

[DopeyFish]

Rychel for harrington

Ok lolol

We get an NHL player for... a player

 

[zroid]

Good trade. We needed to unload some of those RFA D-men.

Alas.

I think Linden is part of the problem. In which case I don't expect anything to change for at least another season if not two

 

[Pikma]

Nill signs JoBenn to a $3.3M contract but lets Daddy Dumbmers go, fuck this shit

Also, the organization as a whole has a very considerable lack of goalies, so what does Nill do? Trade one to the fucking Kings, yay...

 

[Foggy]

Who?

 

[MultiJhonny]

Damn sorry to hear about your mom Yawnier. Hopefully everything works out for the best.

 

[DopeyFish]

Who?

Harrington is basically a 7D

 

[Zombie James]

Just found out my mom has a tumor on one of her ovaries.... holy fuck

Shit, sorry to hear it

 

[bonesmccoy]

Harrington is basically a 9D

.

 

[yyzjohn]

Harrington is basically a 7D

Main piece of the Kessel deal

 

[Kave_Man]

Neat, nice little gamble there for the Leafs.

 

[zroid]

Who?

Leafs acquired him in the Kessel trade. Probably going to be a depth D-man, but he looked decent with the big club to start the season before being sent down. Then he got hurt and missed rest of the year.

the pick is a 5th btw, the condition is that it's only given up if Harrington is claimed on waivers

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Montreal has been trying to get Rychel for a few years now. Now he's a Leaf.

Great

 

[DopeyFish]

I wonder if this is a domino

Leafs have way too many roster players... so bye JVR, bye Bozak... hello Defenseman and Stamkos?

 

[yyzjohn]

Well his dad was briefly with the Leafs. Let's hope this guy is better.

 

[Samyy]

I don't really know anything about Rychel tbh doesn't seem that great

 

[Foggy]

Yeah that trade fucking blows

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Dang. Was thinking maybe Rychel would wanna stay after winning the ship at Lake Erie

 

[Yawnier]

Like this trade. Harrington's ceiling is a stay at home bottom pairing defenceman and was going to compete with a few other defense prospects next year for a spot as a #5-6D.

Rychel is a LW too which is probably the leafs shallowest forward position.

 

[Foggy]

Dang. Was thinking maybe Rychel would wanna stay after winning the ship at Lake Erie

Too many dogshit players clogging up the bottom 6. He wanted and deserved ice time but we needed players like Boll and Clarkson to bring energy. Clearly.

Flipping a former 1st round pick for another anonymous defenseman who can't facilitate a cheese sandwich.

 

[Fata1moose]

We traded Holden to the Rangers yesssssss.

 

[Smiley90]

Yeah that trade fucking blows

Columbus didn't have a very good draft all-around it seems. Ditched Puljujarvi, odd second-rounder, this trade... damn

 

[zroid]

oh wow Holden acquired by the Rangers

lolol

But now we have JVR, Michalek, Nylander, Rychel, Lupul in LW

And we have Marner, Brown, Hyman, Soshnikov, Leipsic on RW

And we have Kadri, Bozak, Matthews, Komarov, Laich on C

Too much ._.

Do you guys want Emelin?

Rychel is waivers exempt still. It's fine.

Michalek will be gone next year and Lupul will be nursing his injuries on Robidas island.

I think Leipsic might be the odd man out on RW, is he still waiver exempt?

 

[Fata1moose]

That's some nice cap space as well, only 1.65 but for 3 remaining seasons.

 

[ElephantShell]

Leafs had too many Harrington-like players. Makes sense to unload one.

 

[Syrinx]

Any noteworthy UDFAs this year?

 

[zroid]

I think Leipsic might be the odd man out on RW, is he still waiver exempt?

yeah he has one more year

 

[User 479360]

When the Leafs sign Stammer, they'll have to do something about Bozak and his $4.2 million, because it's too much. He'll maybe be hard to unload, though.

 

[Foggy]

Abramov is a feast or famine kind of pick so who knows. PLD is a dirtbag so I don't look forward to cheering a team that has him on it. Jamie Benn/Anze Kopitar my ass.

Are there stories or something to suggest that he is a dirtbag? Don't know anything about him to be honest.

Don't worry at least a handful of those won't be as good as you think.

 

[Foggy]

Got suspended at the end of last year for a shitty boarding penalty. A consistent critique is he takes bad penalties. I can't imagine that will get any better. Not with overlord Torts.

 

[Smiley90]

I just realized when looking back I haven't heard the name "Brock Boeser" a single time all year.

Did he fall off the face of the earth or something?
