Plekanic Leivo and Kapanen....
- bobbyisno1

Stfu with your leivo!
Useless


I still take Komarov over leivo
Komarov is an agitator against ovie and Marchand kills penalties. Leivo =useless = ahl

Fans are very funny! You wouldn't find a single Leafs fan yesturday willing to give a 2nd for him and yet today here are some saying good trade. Lol
For the record I think he is a nice pick up and I wanted him in Winnipeg.

- Ross77


The only good thing I can see about this trade is that now we are pretty much guaranteed to not be trading for Glendening.

Not When Matthews is back.
- Cooshie

Well they can't play Komarov after he gets traded.
Who am I kidding Plekanec will be on the 3rd line cause Bozak and JVR are gone too.

Well in retro spec to Bruins fans Nash will be good for for 40 goals as he did 4 seasons ago. So we shall expect plekanec to rack up 60 points as he did 4 seasons ago..

I think Lou is keeping JVR and Bozak. My guess is he will now put all his efforts into getting a top 4 defenseman.

He could settle on a depth guy if the price is too high for his liking. I still think Hjalmarsson is the best fit for the Leafs.

Plekanec, Kapanen and Komi - not a bad fourth line.
Won't be easy for teams to match up against.

- Cooshie


Plekanec slows the fourth line down... Moore is faster.

I'd rather have Ben Smith (and I don't like Ben Smith) then spend a 2nd for the turtleneck.

Good trade for both teams. You guys didn't touch your prospects and still have another 2nd.
- imsorry66

I legitimately don't think Rychel or Valiev are NHLers. Maybe one will surprise, but I think the 2nd is the only asset of significance. A 2nd for a 4C is a good return for the Habs though.

I just threw up in my mouth....


jeez... slow lazy overpaid.

I haven't questioned anything the Leafs have done since the creation of ShanaLouCock. But this one has me stumped. Gave up Valiev, Rychel and 2nd for this garbage.

He’s an upgrade over Moore and he’s not overpaid at 50%

We'll see...I think Plekanec will be WAY more effective than Moore....time will tell.
Either way, not much was given up for him.

He's not a 4C either.

Moore is a 4C. The Leafs now have 4 legit centers. I hope Pleks can do what Boyle did last year.

Komarov sucks and they have him on the second line with Mathews out, there has to be a better option.
Oh and Leivo has much better scoring prowess, and you STFU.

Unless they do something big like get a top 4 D the most likely seems as if they will

Trade moore for a 4th/5th

Throw Lievo and that pick at OTT for Cole.

we'll have to agree to disagree... I don't see Plekanec as an upgrade over Moore... I'm not a Moore fan by any means, but Moore's a better skater and the Leafs are a fast team. I genuinely don't believe Plekanec brings anything to Toronto that they don't already have.

I know haha.
Had anyone suggested this trade, leafs fans would have freaked out.
Garbage trade. Crap out crap in...except it cost us a 2nd
Another move is coming....hopefully better than this

- Santo_44

If bozak struggles Plekanec could slide up to 3C as well.

The thing I like about the deal is it’s an expiring contract. Gives leafs flexibility in the offseason still.

he brings more than what Valiev and Kerby bring to the table....if anything, it's a depth move...but that also means someone goes back to the farm or gets traded
