Hopefully no top end prospects are in the deal.

Boy if it's for the rumoured 1st that's kind of disappointing.

 

[bustaheims]

Waiting to see the cost, but certainly an interesting choice.

Egh

 

[Kin]

I don't get this one.

 

[herman]

Really really badly wanted a shutdown line?

 

[bustaheims]

Yeah. Don?t love moving the 1st for this - though, that pick is going to be a late pick. Would have preferred a more impactful piece.

Don't love the price. Hopefully he'll make us look silly for thinking that in the playoffs.

Adds sandpaper for the playoffs, hopefully it works out. His dad will be happy anyway.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Leafs are paying just 25% of his salary.

A late 1st isn't much. No issue with the price.

I think it says a lot about this team's drafting record that some think late 1sts aren't a big deal.

Can we trade Nick Foligno for Taylor Hall?

I mean a late 1st could be another Sandin or Robertson, so they've had some success there (Robertson of course drafted a little later than that). Still shows that those aren't exactly pieces to toss aside.

Some saving grace is that this draft could be a bit of a mess.

Not really. The Leafs are in a win it now, not in 3 years when this 1st rounder may turn into a player. I also have full confidence in Dubas' drafting skills. Top 10 would be a big deal, this isn't.

 

[herman]

I?m sad we won?t get to trade down 4 times to get 7 5th rounders from the 1st rd pick

 

[caver]

does this move use up all the cap space?
