Can Grabs make the team? Is he healthy enough? Do they care?

Man, the Leafs have paid this guy a ton of cash.

In exchange: Taylor Beck, Carter Verhaeghe, Matt Finn, Tom Nilsson and Christopher Gibson

That seems like a lot for a 27 year old who is coming off a year of LOTS of injury time....

I like Grabner, i'm just curious in terms of what they thought about the return's ceilings

traded a bunch of prospects that will never see the show for contract space

the leafs had 49 starting the day, max is 50, now they only have 45

if those PTO guys justifiably make the team now they have the space to sign them

good move.

Leafs send a bunch of contracts (Beck, Verhaeghe, Finn, Nilsson, Gibson) to Islanders for Michael Grabner.

I have this funny feeling that 7 years from now we'll be talking about the Grabner for Gibson deal... failed goalie trades just seems so Leafs

I thought all of those guys sans Back and Finn were coming along decently, no? Not superstars but they didn't seem like guys to just cast away?

That's a bad bad deal.

There's a couple 2nd rounders in there, and a couple more young guys with a lot of upside. For a far far crappier far more injury prone version of kessel.

And the justification is to open up room for a bunch of guys theyll trade at the deadline for some middling draft picks which will be used to draft lower ceiling talent?

That's the exact opposite way to stock the system, and really a terrible move.

Grabner is going to score 30+ just like in my old NHL 2008 games. BOOK IT

Didn't see that coming. Nice trade though.
