We are going to package up 3 of those goalies and send them to Ottawa at no charge, they will all play at the same time giving them a fighting chance.....

Cleared Martin's contract, the return never mattered.

Yeah the media and rumor people really get Lou . Not reason for him to be pissed at Toronto for signing a free agent. He has a job to do and wasting time about lost assets doesn't do much for him.

Nice of him to take Martin though. Frees up some Leaf cap space

Honestly, who cares? We rid ourselves of a 2.5M cap hit and can use that additional space to make a move for a defenseman...
Even if, Eamon McAdam plays for the Growlers, that's a win/win for us.

i feel like Lou wasnt left to do whatever he wanted the last 3 years..based on his moves since Leaving the Leafs..

Someone had to be slapping his hands every once in a while ..

Exactly, Leafs signed a guy who became eligible for free agency...what kind of claim does anyone have if they can't get the guy signed before that?

As for Lou though, I'm not getting some of these new moves. I get that there may not be much out there, but adding the likes of Martin and Komorov when you just lost Tavares almost smells like a tank...Gonna be tough to do with Barzal on the ice though.

I see whats happening here. The Leafs were nice enough to help reduce the Islanders cap hits with the Tavares signing, that Lou is just repaying the favor. So nice of him.

Makes sense Eamon McAdom was likely the missing piece that Pierre Dorion was looking for to complete the deal.

You don't get a "the" in front of your name without having the capability to sign for two teams at once. Never rule out the Bozek

It might just be a favor to Martin because he clearly wasn't going to see the ice in Toronto this season. The cap space is a nice bonus but doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be used.
