I always figured you were a goalie pressy

Toronto media are giving Jim Benning big props for this trade. Thinks that he would fit absolutely perfectly with Boeser/Horvat because he is a smart playmaker and passer. I don't really know much about Leipsic

He's not a first line winger. No way. I saw him play for Marlies and hes a 3rd or 4th line player at best. Yay.

he's a 1st line winger on the nucks

but we don't have proper 1st or 2nd line wingers, so that makes him a 1st line winger by default

Most 1st lines have a guy that is there who isn't a 1st liner. If he has chemistry then Brock and Bo can make him look the part.

good 1st lines have 1st line players who are ACTUAL 1st line players though.

How many teams have 3 1st line players on the first line?

I expected a LSD to be moved but Holm wow was that cashing in on a high because of his AHL success?

F Brendan Leipsic, former Portland WinterHawk, seems to be a Green move to add more attacking grit to his line up.

Also we are too deep in 6-7-8 D. 😜
I like Holm but a little soft.
Leipsic is a solid add.

When you need everything, any trade where a guy can play in a few different spots is a positive. I'd imagine JB has targeted this guy for a while

Thought you'd at least take TDL day off. just wait for the Tanev deal to Tor, I don't think you'll be sticking around.

You sure about that? Most of them have 2 first liners and a 3rd wheel that gets his stats pumped.

Their top line has 70 goals between the 3 players. 172 points between them. They are probably considered good 1st line players.

Tallon is an idiot lol

imagine the hysteria in here if we gave up 2/3rds of a first line to an expansion draft team because we valued meat and potato hockey over being fast and skilled.

Good deal for Benning but doubt it amounts to much.

Speed and skill 👌👍👏

It's the true Leaves way. "Bring us your sick, your broken and your highly salaried" is the statue plaque isn't it?

This better not be the only trade we make.
