Stfu with your leivo!
Useless


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

Is that really you Babs???

It's an honor to have you on HB.

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.
- BorjeFan4Ever

He's got2x pts as Moore, he's is undoubtedly better.

Huh? Pleks is not slow by any means. He's no worse skater than Moore. Want proof go watch him.

Pleks>Moore and it's not even close

I actually like the trade

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.
- BorjeFan4Ever

Yup

Where are you people getting the idea that Plekanec is slow?

Another bonus from this trade is it keeps Babcock and Glendening apart.

ME too. Still add 3mil

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
- Fakepartofme

for a 2nd? id have considered it. hes good defensively and the pk. we still have another 2nd and ruchel and valiev were never going to play for the leafs. we gave up so little and got not much in return. good depth move imo. i dont care about the trade good or bad. just tbh.

my hope is they can get a pick back for moore. theyll come out ahead. but again just my opinion.

Too many pucks to the head?

I don't think it makes us that much better. Personally I would rather have the second and Moore over Plekanec.

Yup
- Fakepartofme

Plekanec is almost identical to the bozek. With Matthews out, this helps us.

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.
- bryant

the only thing that the Leafs get out of this ... is one fewer NHL contracts.... maybe Lou has something larger going on.

Let's hope so. Leafs should have Colton Orr greet Plekanec on his arrival in Toronto... and run a videao montage of Plekanec slashing Orr, then Orr killing the rest of the Habs. Ask "Pleky" how he feels about Lou not letting him wear turtlenecks?

It’s weird that so many people loved the Boyle trade last year and hate this one.

I actually like the trade
- PatC80

I like it too.

I also like that they did the deal today so Plekanec can play tomorrow in Tampa.

In that case in their minds it's true, how can we fault them..

How much will that 2nd rd pick help us in this years playoffs?

Nope traded 2 for 2.

Good point.
Really think this is a good move. No one touched from the roster and Plekanec can move up and down the line up. Also, he is not slow

Another bonus from this trade is it keeps Babcock and Glendening apart.
- Jeffmt

Agreed

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.
- BorjeFan4Ever

I like ShanaCockOrello

....Lou never makes bad trades




until now,

How much will that 2nd rd pick help us in this years playoffs?
- PatC80

weve picked over 25 guys the last 3 drafts and have alot picks still this draft. at some point you have to try and win. trading firsts or dermotts kapanens lillygreen should have fans upset. not this package we spent.

- PatC80

Well not at all.

You could make the same argument for our first round pick. Should we trade that one as well? What about Liljegren? We have a lot of assets that won't help us in playoffs this year.

I don't think Plekanec is enough of an upgrade over Moore to warrant a second round pick.

I think a far better pick up would have been a defenseman to make sure Polak never plays another game.

Another shoe has to drop. Leafs roster full, added another. Someone has to be traded or sent to minors
