Yes. Even so, it's a solid return. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Trading Kuzmenko and Laughton is good. Hopefully more moves to come.

Keep stockpiling those picks and adding random Russians.

Blank slate - the deal is fair

Compared to the other deals that have been made leaguewide at the deadline - don't love the value and don't love having to use a retention spot on Laughton. That leaves us with only one retention spot to use this offseason/next season since Hayes' bum is still using one.

Scott Laughton 50% retained
4th
6th

for

1st
Nikita Grebenkin

That was the overwhelming deal Briere has been waiting for.

Edit: there is conditions on the 1st ?

Overwhelming? Maybe slightly. I like the trade. Too bad it’s a little too late

Briere signs Maxim Shabanov in the summer, Flyers got a top 6 Russian line. Some things, you thought you would never see as a long time Flyers fan.

Hopefully he can make the jump to the NHL.

Imangine if they traded tk and what he could’ve brought back. Added to the draft capital they currently have.

Oh what could’ve been

I think it's a pretty fair trade. Neither GM fleeced the other. Leafs got the player for TODAY and Flyers got some futures.

Greb is a buddy of Michov or some kid on the flyers and Greb is kind of a circus. Bryzgalov type comments so we shall see how he fits in with Torts

I still think Flyers should have made these moves a year ago

I like what I saw from him. Seems like he has a swagger. 6'2'', 209. Got skills. Be interesting to see him get some time now in the NHL

Ohhh leafs fans are pissed! Good job Danny. Have to Check on the conditions of the 1st. But as it looks this is a home run and easily his best move as GM so far

we are retaining 50% of The Rooms contract?
- Flyfly


The are going to frame their half of the contract and put it in the room so the players will know that The Room™ is still in the room with them

Gotta see the conditions but needing to include a 4th and 6th is a weird ask by Toronto lol

Glad they finally did it. These are the kind of moves that need to be done when you’re a bad team and all too often they sit on their hands.

Imangine they traded tk.

Didn’t trade cutter

Could be sitting bottom 5 right now with more cap space.

Tons more draft capital

And marketing mm and cutter

Oh what a rebuild that could’ve been

Lol no we aren’t.

Leafs are in win now mode. This helps us now.

We didn’t give up any top prospects.

Yeah suddenly not looking like the slam dunk everyone thought it was. Still solid

Who cares about retaining we are not going anywhere next year.

That’s not too bad. I’m not high on Laughton so that’s a good get by Briere for once.
