Any inside scoop why the Leafs gave Dylan Ferguson to the Sens? They only signed him this summer no? I believe he?s the tender that was suspended as an amateur. I may have the last name wrong guys sorry. I just haven?t seen anything in this group on this at all.

He was only signed by the Marlies, not the Leafs. They let him go for an NHL contract opportunity.

Also, he was with Vegas last year. The guy you're thinking of is Dryden McKay.

10 min... Dubas really keeping that 1st??

Guess there wasn't anything out there worth moving it for. Considering the moves that went down today, that isn't all that surprising. Big moves were all done.

I don't know the league as well as I used to. But scanning the non-playoff rosters, I did not see a lot that seemed like a potential fit and would be likely to be available.

Trades can still trickle out to the media for a couple of hours or so ...

I was thinking maybe JVR for a song, but may be too old and slow at this point.

Yup. Not much left out there in terms of significant adds. Some interesting depth/insurance, but nothing that moves the needle.
 
I would have been very tempted to take Vrana at that price. I'd have maybe even upped the ante with a 6th rounder.

Not flipping Gustafsson might have been questionable. I'll take that back if he leads PP2 to a 1st round win.

I'd be concerned about how reliable he could be this spring considering he jsut came out of the assistance program. I wish him all the best, but maybe throwing him into the pressure cooker wouldn't have been the best idea.

Huh, really though that first was in play. Either way nice to have a first. Interestingly in a way having Boston's first is a bet on yourself that you beat them.

Thanks Busta. Grey matter is a bit spongy these days. Glad it?s not the guy I was thinking of. I?m curious how McKay makes out. I mean?the Leafs COULD possibly develop a #1 SOMETIME?right? Right?

McKay is struggling with the Growlers. Cavallin is doing well.
 
Saw the end of Kyle's PC. Missed much of it.
Radim Zohorna was brought in for center depth and to help the Marlies.
He'd done well for Calgary in the AHL according to Leafs scouts.
Hunt gets closer to home and a fresh chance.

I'll look out for the balance of it when they post it.

What about HoLL?
 
Here's a question for those more up on the rules:

With the roster cap space to sign Knies, I presume Bettman can't claim they're hiding Mete on LTIR (I doubt we even had to concern ourselves with that ...)

Mete would arguably be the 11th NHL dman.
The Marlies are doing very well - tied with the best pts win% in the AHL.
They just shipped Hunt off to reduce an AHL veteran (they're limited by how many they can play).
Can Mete play for the Marlies without having to clear waivers? (He'd have to be on the Clear Day roster ..)
Just curious.

FYI YouTube lets users just "scroll back" to the start of a livestream (drag the timebar at the bottom, same way as with a regular video) even if it's in the middle of streaming live!

(Dubas also confirmed that Matthews is playing hurt, and slightly implied that Engvall and Sandin were salary cap casualties... although he never once said "we'll miss those guys" so perhaps he also felt they would be exposed in the playoffs by opposing teams/coaches)

Just curious.
Mete last cleared waivers on Oct 10 and he played 11 games after that with the Leafs so he'll have to clear waivers to be sent down. He can go on a LTIR conditioning stint with the Marlies for up to 6 days or 3 games. Leafs could technically ask for a 2 game extension if the 3 aren't enough.
 
Well, I said I'd wait until post deadline to make a statement on the collective moves Dubas made so here is my verdict...

Eh, seems ok. I'd probably have been more excited if he'd just added Kane or some other top 6 scorer but there you go.
