Give it a year and he'll be above old man Weber...
- lumlums

Above? You mean behind, pushing his wheelchair.

I wouldnt want to play with my brother...
- Arctic_AARDVARK

It would be great....depends how much of an bumhole your brother is I guess.

Wasn't he once a Leaf?
- Atomic Wedgie

Confirmed.

We drafted him in 5th round of 2008 draft.

2008-Jul-03 Traded from Toronto Maple Leafs with round 2 pick in the 2010 draft to Montreal Canadiens for Mikhail Grabovski

It's a good deal I think for the Leafs. They should make the playoffs now, and I don't think it cost them much in prospect currency. It'll be a fun April. I'm not expecting any other big moves.
- mykokes

They need D.

I read that is the best out of the Ottawa and SJS pick. Do they own their own?
- Archaic

They had 3. One to ducks for Freddie (who traded to Dallas for eaves) one just went to tb and we still have one left (the worst of the three)

Maybe at the end of your career like the Niedermeyers did...

would have to go if the Leafs acquired him. but not the case

The 2nd is too much for an early 30s 4th line vet.
Heck at the beginning of the season people would have freaked out had anyone suggested to trade a 2nd rounder for that.
I like Boyle but the 2nd was too high.
Lou better trade for D
- Fakepartofme

meh...we have 3 2nd rounders don't we?

I think it's pretty cheap...Froese didn't seem like he was going to get a shot ( I thought he was better then Smith )

Why not?I like Kadri as 2C for now but i think Nylander would be fine.

Hes 2 years younger than Matthews and he looks great in the 1C role..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

We just acquired a rental center for this years playoffs. So why would we do a deal that pushes NYlander into the 2nd line hole immediately?

- Atomic Wedgie

yup

Bozak for Manson
- iTOLDu

And the ducks make this trade because......
Randy Carlyle missed him so much?

Like the signing
No problem with the price, but I hope this doesnt make Goat expendable.

- mykokes

The leafs just did a deal, so they could make another deal and not have to push Nylander into the 2nd line hole immediately

Quite like the deal. Dont have to protect him either.

Nod and a wink, extension done but not announced before the expansion draft.

whoa...

never said that.. just said i think he could handle it fine.

They'll recoup it after this years playoffs are over. Its not that big a deal really, gives this years team a better shot at a run, while at the same time, they still have picks to use in the draft...plus will probably acquire more picks in the offseason.

People don't realize how bad this draft is.

Teams are throwing away draft picks like its nothing.

If Leafs don't protect him, LV can agree a contract with him 48hrs-0hrs before expansion draft.

Well, that's what I was responding to originally when you commented.

- B-Wforever

Just saying Bozak in general for a 4D. Leafs aren't trading Kadri. Not the purpose of that trade whatsoever. Kadri is in the long term plan.

this is from the Tampa thread


In exchange the Bolts receive the highest of the Leafs 2017 second-round picks and forward, Byron Froese. Toronto currently has their second-round pick, San Jose's, and Ottawa's.

Well, that's what I was responding to originally when you commented.

i dont feel like reading back but i thought you said something about him not being ready...

- MaximusAurelius

Only f he want to though

They need D.
- Fakepartofme

They weren;t going to get a great one with a 2nd round pick, they'd get a Polak lol/.
