Well, this definitely takes the Leafs out of the Kane sweepstakes. At least that talk can end now.

It would make it better, but he has been very bad this year. He's not the same player he was. I hope a trade reinvigorates him, but I'm not holding my breath.

check his playoff video from last April/May - he was a beast. Lost his linemates this year, injuries and poop team ...fingers crossed that he's healthy.

If the Leafs don't win a round this will go down one of the worst trades lol.

I hope they get through. Not sure how much he'd want to resign.
- Archaic

Why? Seems pessimistic for pessimisms sake..

That's why I had Sandin to SJ in my Gm'ing made easy post.

Not that I think the Leafs are gonna actually trade for Meier or anything, but I do think the Leafs have a leg up on most other teams if they offer Sandin, because of the reported ask of a D-man. And I don't think other teams can/would offer better than Sandin.

When I looked at prospects in the NHL the devils were the only team with a fair number in the top 100. I cant recall if any were Ď though but my gut tells me NJ is the front runner for his services.

I know but I was thinking maybe he extends. Kampf is 28 and Acciari is 31. More likely Acciari would be willing to take less to be in a spot for longer than Kampf. I really like Kampf but I can see him testing FA.

I should say I like theres 3 options for 3rd line center for next year. Hopefully one signs.

The options look good for sure

Man, I wanted Manson badly.
- GreatGigInTheSky

You were right


As I said the majority didn't. A few did like yourself. Which how he turned out made me want RoR this year. Worth the risk. Was hoping to not pay a 1st but hey, thats the cost.

Ive been saying all year they will get past the 1st round. ROR and Acciari add good depth and punch for a series with tampa.
But if vasy plays better than he did last year, it could be trouble.
Time will tell.

I think they see the 3rd round min....fingers crossed

I meant. I'm not sure how much money he'd want.

So for retention does that mean "on paper" ror got traded to Minnesota and then traded to Toronto? If so then I hope RoR gets a minny sweater with his name on it

I do love that dubie seems to do these trades late in the evening...or at least it feels that way.
Media gotta work ot lol

Lol I will have to catch the highlights of TSN breaking it down tomorrow.

Definitely strengthen on paper 📃 and a big win if ROR gets back to vintage form.

Hopefully he shoves his career earnings up his ass and plays for a good team (Ie-TOR) on the cheap, looking for more wins than dollars. But you are right, he might still be trying to penny-pinch and sniff out the highest bidder. We will see!

Luke Fox will still be leafs in on everyone.

Forgot about that guy. I wonder if he's ticked off that potential destinations keep falling off his list.

Remember a week ago Dubas lied to the media and everyone saying he wasn't going to pay a first round pick for a rental player?

This guy hates anyone reading his moves.

But he has done his Dubas usual:

Not really gone after the guys people talked about too much lately
Made his deal weeks in advance of the deadline
Didn't move anyone off the active roster

I'm expecting

Bun-Mat-Nyl
RoR-Tav-Mar
Eng-Kam-Jar
Zar-Acc-Ker

Seeing it this way too… letting RoR move over to the wing will be both beneficial to him as a player and that line in general, it could end up extremely powerful

As I finally learned of all the pieces to this trade I like it (I think).

Giving up the 1st hurt a bit but the fact the Leafa are only paying 1.75M prorated for the rental makes me ok with it.

Lots of picks out but 2 x NHL centres in and a young prospect for what they gave up seems like a gamble worth taking to me.

I would imagine Dubas will still be looking to make a deal for D help (or maybe a 2nd wing LW? Gimme that Barbrapappa)using current roster players to do so. Too many centres now, and some other pieces that could be moved (bottom 6) and d can go out if D coming in.

I’m pumped to get to be at the game tomorrow apparently ROR and Acciari are expected to be there and available to play! I hope both get in the game and kick ass!

Added bonus you know Boston and Tampa for sure (and likely other teams) hate they the Leafs got ROR. I was afraid one of those 2 teams would get him.


GO LEAFS GO!!!

Lol pretty much bang on although this year I’m curious if he’ll do something a bit more considering where he stands personally contract wise

Dubas and the leafs have 4.4 in deadline space after this trade according to Capfriendly. They have the space to make a move for a decent dman aside from a first round pick this year.

Id keep kerfoot at center on the 3rd line
