HockeyBuzz Wire: Toronto trades for goaltender

There will be 12 thousand responses to this on the Leafs page In the next 4 hours. Lol.

The Jackets now have quite a collection of young defenders who may or may not be good enough to crack the everyday lineup.

boy do I miss Murray and Nuutivara all of a sudden

FYI. The latest Laine benching was not a benching according to Torts.

and in their next move Columbus trades David Savard to the Jets for draft picks.

At least fans give a FFfFS

Such minor trades are futile at this point. Torts will hate this trade as this as an offensive defender lacking defensive acumen and afraid to block shots. I assume he will be spending a lot of time sitting on the bench next to Laine.

This situation with Laine closely matches Torts' historic mishandling of both Lecavalier and Luongo. Its long past time for Torts to be removed. Torts must go!

I like the Jackets top 5 defenders and maybe Carlsson will grab the 6 spot.

I wonder If Laine will stay If Torts Is out. Laine seems to love California.

Laine to LA for a couple of young centers (one rostered and one being a prospect) and a 2nd

If you ever wondered how vastly superior the NHL is to other pro leagues

This was the top goalie in the Finnish elite league twice. Lehtonen was the best defenseman in the KHL twice. Neither guy can crack a roster here

The Maple Queefs are just *that* stellar defensively, duh

Amadio, Madden, and a 2nd. I like it.

Torts is likely telling Jarmo to trade for Marc Staal.

and in their next move Columbus trades David Savard to the Jets for draft picks.

Your wish is my command. What are the draft picks ??

Torts' mishandling of Laine only scratches the surface of all the highly questionable moves with really indefensible line combinations, oddball lines in 3v3, sitting your best, most skilled players while playing 3rd & 4th liners in critical game times. He's completely bungled the development of young players, in favor of playing past-their-prime players. They play in fear of making mistakes because they will be stapled to the bench, while other playes constantly make mistakes, get beat, and are not held accountable.
He has all kinds of good, highly skilled players and reduces their TOI to play "grit", "tryers", and players who he feels has "paid their dues". He'll put a 4thC on the 1st line, while he takes 4 centers and puts them on the wings, wings at center !!
I can't make this crap uo - it's really happening here in Columbus.

No thx,laine can go half hr down the road to Anaheim.i would rather play against him all the time,than have him in a kings jersey

Torts sounds alot like Babcock during his Leafy Tenure

Torts sounds alot like Babcock during his Leafy Tenure

Sounds alot like Pens complaints with Sullivan. Stuck with Dominic Simon all those years on the top line, and continues to send out Rodrigues for no explicable reason in a top 6 role. Seems at times to pull combos out of a hat and NEVER plays Crosby and Malkin together at the end of a period, or even here and there just to get a spark.

It seems coaches--even the good ones--in hockey all have a shelf life, and Im guessing Torts shelf life has expired

Leafs had to do something since they won't be signing Binnington he resigned with the Blues, 6 years, 6M per year!! I know because are in the West, there is nothing in the headlines about the signing, hockeybuzz is concerned about the East Coast teams and Canada!!

I agree....I don't think they've had someone representing the blues since the cup, maybe even during

Tanner is free, he's your new Blues Blogger

More like Anderson - Dolan, Turcotte and a 2nd

With Lee out maybe you could trade Laine to NYI!

Laine for Wahlstrom, Bode Wilde, 2nd(Avs) and a 6th
