Wonder if we can move Moore for anything.

Jets need a depth center and Letestu and now Plec are off the market.

Great

Moore Gardiner and Leivo for Trouba

Rick Nash is loading up? Mr. On pace for 38 points?

50% retained is interesting too. Could be as simple good business practice to stay flexible, or wherever else he would've gone he would likely have had salary retained so he carried a 2nd round value regardless.

Or does McDonagh come tomorrow? Or Faulk?

I think it has to do with the bonuses for the young guys. If they go over the cap with them, they get deferred to next season. Probably trying to avoid as much as possible.

Two-way winger who can score goals. He fits their system. They might not be done buying yet either.

Leafs might not be either.

Wait, Nash was a good deal, Plekanec wasn’t?

Leafs might not be either.

Might not be done wasting picks and prospects on Habs trash? Hope they are done with that bullpoop.

Leafs done before they started ffs.

Nash went to Boston (his favourite team), Plekanec went to the Leafs. So yeah.

He hates this team so much, no matter what they do he will just criticize them. He should just stick to his ALMIGHTY-CAN-NEVER-BE-BEATEN Bruins.

Not for the Leafs it wouldn't be. Bruins can waste as much of their future as they want on rentals, I don't give a poop. But Nash is a more useful player than Plekanec is if you're just comparing the two directly.

Yep. Giving up a roster player with more points and a first round pick is a good deal.

Rychel is the next Steen, though.

Nash goes to Boston they lose to Buffalo... Nash a minus with 5 shots... not a sterling way to kick off all these moves

Ahl lifers aren't prospects

Pretty lucky to get that call, usually it goes the other way. Played great in the 2nd period, they need to play like that if they want any hope of winning a series in the playoffs. Bruins are loading up though and Tampa Bay isn't done yet. Playoffs are a different animal.

I concur. But need to make them first.

Boston gave up 5 pieces for 1 player. We gave up 2 players that were staying on the Marlies and one of our two 2nd rd picks. What is not to like about the Plekanec trade ?

Early feb loses against the broons matter.

Late feb wins don't

Poor Doozer - gonna look good in his Rychel Habs jersey if Kirby make it....oh what am I saying - it's the Habs - WHEN Kirby makes it.

The Leafs got better at a decent price. UG got triggered.

Rychel and Valiev will probably never play in the NHL but that 2nd round pick, if used properly, could become something useful. I'm just saying, in general, stop trading picks and prospects. It's not time for that poop yet.

Gonna be leading that team in points next year.

Plus we needed another center and we got one that is better than Moore. Both Rychel and Valiev are rfa and no guarantee that we would re-sign them.
