well we have a ton of prospects and a ton of youth in the ahl and nhl level. plus another 2nd. nothing to be up in arms about. trading picks is never popular i suppose but amount to f all.

if we werent already a young team on the rise with one of the brightest futures, yea id be pissed over trading a 2nd for pleks. but its not 2015 anymore.

Don't worry, they'll recoup a 1st a 2nd a 3rd and prospects when they trade JVR, Bozak and Komarov.

I'm ok with the price paid but they'll need to strip him down out back of the ACC and power wash him a few times.

We’re a better team today than we were yesterday. And we were very good yesterday.

for the win

the lcbo is open till 5, 6 at some locations.

i think youre gonna need it pyzan

But he’s a pending UFA. Leafs should trade all of them, because we can’t beat Tampa or Boston.

Only two possible outcomes. Just 2, no other possibilities. None.

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.

Agree. .tho the cost

you come off as whining.

what you say made little sense.

only one of boston tampa and toronto can possibly go deep. two of the three will be gone by round three. yet shame on the leafs for trying to improve by trading a small piece of the future but kudos to other teams who do it. i dont think the leaf will beat boston and/or tampa. i also dont think they dont have a good chance either. none of us know what will happen. what we do know is toronto has beaten both this season. as they have the leafs.

Everytime I see the number 34 I get wood.

not too worried about giving up the 55th overall pick, saul goodman

2nd not bad...Leafs dont need draft picks at this point..D they need..

I hate everything Hab so hopefully he breaks a nail on flight over and never puts the Leaf on..
- Fruitcakenipple

The 2nd could have been used for a D.

Ah well. We arent beating Boston so its all for not.

you cant really get a d who would be any kind of meaningful upgrade to our 6/7 guy for a 2nd

No one is arguing that at all.
A 2nd for plekanec...thats what people dont like.
- Fakepartofme

Ya. .nice add..but that second ..letestu 4th. .leafs traded a second. .years ago for Yannick p which eventually became josi. .

you cant really get a d who would be any kind of meaningful upgrade to our 6/7 guy for a 2nd
- Njuice

Unless the Leafs follow up this trade with an upgrade on defense, they have essentially given away a relatively high draft pick for a short-term fix.
