Does Ben Smith have a provision in his contract that says the Leafs have to give up a 2nd round pick if they call him up?

Nope but he does have a provision that guarantees you an early exit from the playoffs if he so much as laces a skate during a playoff game.

They gave up one 2nd of which they have two. Your making it sound like they have 1 pick left this year and NEED to pick a number 1 D with it.

so what is better, having one or two 2nd rounders? habs have 4 of them, look at all the 4c they can get with those!

Patrice Bergeron was a 2nd round pick. Good teams make them count.

That provision is also included in Plekanec' contract.

Watched Aaltonen play, would of made a good 4c.

Altonen isnt as good as moore. Plekanec is better than moore. The point is too try and win in the playoffs.

Not
He has not proven to be of value. How many times has he been up. Big body and that’s all

I like what I have seen

Babcock said he likes him too

He's not good enough to call up.

Yeah and they might draft the next datsyuk with their 7th dont worry about leafs have lots of picks.

lmao Aaltonen is better then Moore......Pleks is a slight upgrade, not worth a 2nd for the difference in the slight upgrade...

They might have to but they've never be capable of it before so I'll take my chances with having the highest picks and the most picks rather than hope for miracles.

But he costs you nothing.

If he was good enough he'd be playing like dermott.

He's still a Marlie - so maybe we'll get to see if your are right. My guess he never sees the NHL.

But he costs you nothing.
- Unholy_Goalie

Cuz he's worth it.

got in because of injuries, then Babs had to keep him up because he was that good, Aaltonen didnt get his chance because of injuries, ir he would be up here too

For those against the 2nd round pick. Here's a good set of stats over the course of 2 decades. 11% chance on average for the pick to become a meaningful player.

Picks are good but it's a crapshoot anyway.

You are the type of guy to pick up a dirty moldy couch off the side of the road because it's free aren't you?

- Unholy_Goalie

You're hoping for a miracle for an 11% chance the 2nd round pick turns out to be Bergeron.
