Sad to say it but Joe is too slow for playoff hockey. He's out come playoff time, imo.

Go on b'y, nice friggin ting..

Late to the party, but kinda meh on Foligno for that price. Isn't Nash the same kind of 5v5 defensive center? Nash scores at a 4th liner pace too, so I don't know how far up the lineup he's going to be playing.

I hate giving up first. Our prospect pool isn't amazing either.
- gravyface

Foligno isn't a center though.

Deadline day on TSN going to be real exciting again

I can hear Duthie dying inside after every single trade these past two days.

Paid a bunch for foligno
If he is what the leafs need for the playoffs. I better see it.
- senstroll

You wouldn't have wanted to see what the cost would have been for Taylor Hall.

Credit where it’s due. Dubas did well here.

Now he just needs Holtby.

If Freddie is healthy, they need to bring about $500K off the cap to spring him from Robidas Island if they want to get h8m into games before the playoffs
- Canada Cup

Earlier today Capfriendly put out an update/clarification on the Leafs cap situation. Although they may have updated since then.

Basically the chain of events is this:
With nobody on LTI they called up some schmucks to ram up against the Cap. They then put Freddy on LTI to turn his 5M into LTI space. They then deal for Nash and he's sitting on IR (not LTI). His 2.75 is part of the Freddy 5M LTI space leaving them with 2.25 in LTI space. Foligno will eat up about 1.45 of that leaving them with 800k.

If Freddy's coming back before the playoffs then I'm not sure what the (frank) happens. Nash can go to LTI replacing some of that but after that I'm not sure.

You guys signed him for two years.

Maybe next deadline.

Thornton is going to play come playoff time before Engvall.

Got my boy Foligno. Hall no!

Holy frank, we get it, you don’t like Thornton!

That can't be correct, they are responsible for 31 days of 1/4 of his salary.

I think Foligno is an excellent fit for the Leafs.

It was costly.

But it might just be what you guys needed to go deeper in the playoffs.

- joel878

No way Thornton is 3C in the playoffs. Not a chance in hell.

edit: Sorry about the glitch above - I'll delete the first few!

Is it time for us to admit the Thornton signing was a mistake?
- Atomic Wedgie

Thornton was always a locker room signing.

How do taxi squads work in the playoffs?

I suspect that the Leafs will not just leave him off the roster.

apples to apples bobby.
1.45 is that ....measured against Freddy's 5M.

It'd be more confusing to set out the daily cap hit's for both but it's the same net effect.

Foligno isn't a center though.
- bobbyisno1

I’ve seen him listed at all three forward positions.

Dubie likes to give up his 1st rounders
- MaximusAurelius

And with this line-up , He can easily get one back in the summer.

- Atomic Wedgie

He's a left winger.

Ahh, I get it.

So is this how the deal happens...

San Jose trades Noesen to CBJ for Foligno (50% retained)

San Jose Trades Foligno (50% retained) to Toronto for a 4th

Toronto trades a 1st and a 4th to CBJ for Noesen

TSN and Sportsnet should start their trade deadline shows at noon.
