Lombardi wasn't even suppose to play for the Leafs because of his injury. He was a throw in.
Yup, also worth considering the fact that he did play netted us a draft pick I believe.
Sure Lombardi was a throw-in, and we're getting a low draft pick back in dealing him, but Franson hasn't exactly set the team ablaze with his presence here, so in all this trade is still not that great (Burke's original trade). I guess getting rid of Lebda was worth it? Are we really any worse off if you take away Lombardi and Franson from the lineup? At best it's a "gamble" trade that hasn't worked out yet.
