Uhhhh

 

[HockeyVirus]

Uhhhh

Officially on fire Dubas train right now. WTF

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Makes sense.

 

[kerk]

incoming ppl getting mad about trading a player who has shown nothing compared to last year in the AHL for a flyer on a guy who is a warm body on D where we have mac hollowell playing tonight

 

[PromisedLand]

meh.... nothing deal. its a wash IMO. both teams gain players who may not have any impact at the NHL.

#whatever

 

[SprDaVE]

Douglas has been really bad this year with the Marlies and I guess they needed a good RHD bet. That's my take.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Curtis Douglas has been really bad with the Marlies this year and has fallen down the depth chart.

Always a chance he becomes a big 4C, but his skating still needs a lot of work and everything else has regressed a lot. We have other guys who have taken major steps forwards and I am not sure he beats them out other than being big.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Depth for depth. Doesn't change much.

Douglas has not been good this year, so no big loss. I guess we're hoping our medical resources can help Timmins.

We're signing plugs like NAK because they hit and giving away a man mountain who would actually give us some balls up front for trash. A player who is 1 injury from retiring and is likely on waivers in a month

Holy shit you guys overrate Douglas he isn’t an nhl player now and he probably won’t be

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nice deal, Timmins is injury prone but might fill that RHD need if healthy.

Douglas had a nice year last season but has 1 assist this year and hasn't looked good. At best he would have been a 4th line centre. Timmins has potential to have more of an impact.

I don´t believe this will be the only trade to bolster our D core.
That´s what i´m telling myself.

 

[Buds17]

Should be a good trade...at least until we might also have to risk losing him to waivers. Quite the timing on this move!

You called Timmins earlier today - nice

 

[stickty111]

Good trade. Douglas has been terrible this year and even been healthy scratched. Timmins is low risk high reward. I'm happy

 

[Pebble live]

So last time we moved a big forward who "couldn't skate" it ended up being Mason Marchment.

I remember reading all the comments on here about how Marchment wasn't going to take the next step....lol and now we're trying to play Malgin in a bottom 6 role.

Douglas has struggled this season in the A. But we have no patience for these big guys who bring an element the leafs sorely need.

Dubas is a f***ing moron.

 

[On-the-Fly]

Size for a Greyhound. The Dubas special.

Lets hope he wins this one.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Douglas has not been good on the Marlies. He's like another Freddie the Goat - big but not physical or mean.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Douglas was too big and physical we can't have that. Why not trade any of the vanilla
Smurfs we have? Always the same with this gm..
Douglas could have made a fine 4C eventually

 

[Jozay]

Not mad at it.

Timmins is 6'2 .. not exactly small

It won't be. This is just depth

There are 20 former Soo Greyhounds in the NHL, Dubas has acquired 11 of them.
