He was a part of the second Kapanen deal. Just an AHLer.

Galchenyuk also hasn’t left Canada so he doesn’t have to go through quarantine. He’s just more depth. Don’t hate it, and don’t love it.

Why the (frank) would Dubas trade Korshkov for a player who was on waivers for free?

Is there an election soon?

Why attack ads on O'toole?

I guess it's a found lottery ticket for Toronto. If he pans out? Great. If he doesn't then who cares right? It's not like they lose anything of significance here.

Considering they could have claimed him for free it makes no sense to me, what am I missing ?

I’m confused. Even if CAR eats most of his salary, which I assume they will, why do this???

Jimmy Tanner once said Galchenyuk was one of the best Corsi players in the NHL. So there's that.

What in the (frank) is with leaf games being blacked out and not on centre ice this year.

Why the (frank) would Dubas trade Korshkov for a player who was on waivers for free?
- Archaic


He doesn't need to clear waivers now apparently since he already cleared. Allows them to move him around freely.

I'm not crazy excited, but he is a depth player who was able to score at one point in his career.

Contract spots.

Don't care about warovsky but I don't know if it's wise to do this for korshkov

I like the move quite a bit.
A pitty losing Korshkov; I guess they didn't want Vesey...

Hey guys, I've got it on good authority that the Leafs have a clear path to the Conference Finals.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief.

All strawmanning aside, there's totally no need for any trades or improving the roster!

I think we can all go about our business and reconvene in late May-Early June.

So a bold prediction here: Galchenyuk will be putting up more points on Matthews' / Tavares' line than Nylander.
