Confirmed with Link: [ARI/TOR] Conor Timmins to Toronto for Curtis Douglas

[Larcos_Unal]

DUBAS DOES NOT GIVE A SINGLE SOLITARY f***​

 

[On-the-Fly]

Timmins is 6'2 .. not exactly small

Yeah. Saw that. Progress?

 

[SprDaVE]

You called Timmins earlier today - nice

Call me Dave Dreger.

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

NAK was a depth forward. Not sure what thats got anything to do with this.

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.

Sometimes you get it right, sometimes you don't. Timmins isn't a small guy, he's a 6'2" good skating RHD. If you weren't aware, the Leafs could use some defensive depth and this is a good bet.

I think always comparing every trade to the Marchment one is not really fair.

 

[Judas Tavares]

If the Leafs signed Manute Bol at 7'6" but then it turned out he played for the Soo, would his height cancel out he was from the Soo or would the Soo cancel out his height?

 

[Larcos_Unal]

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

I don't feel bad about this trade then. I don't care if he's 7'5 if he plays like a p***y

 

[CelticDruid]

Who?

 

[HockeyVirus]

NAK was a depth forward. Not sure what thats got anything to do with this.

Because we just traded a depth forward who brings size and physicality and if they suck, at least they would actually bring value.

To make this trade worse, Arizona wanted to waive him but we didn't have a contract spot so had to make a trade to get him. FML

[Punch Drunk Loov]

The Mac Hollowell dream may have just ended

 

[Niagara Bill]

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

Agree with point except word good. He has no future with Arizona...just sayin.

 

[RD616]

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

Curious to know who are the other 9.

 

[cannucky]

Stereotypical Dubass back fill deal , this team is in for some long nights over the next 6 weeks or so with Justin Holl as our No 1 Dman .

Yeah that's probably where my criticism is.

Size means nothing if you can't play very well, and Douglas has shown that.
Arizona only wanted to waive him because he wasn't getting minutes on the team, and wanted to send him down to get more mins in the AHL. It wasn't performance.
If we are getting angry even over a trade like this, than this fanbase has issues

 

[KPower]

welcome back to the soo kid.

Cool an opening tanking team wanted to waive a dman who wasn't good enough to play for them, has crazy injury history and is a complete unknown.

Dubas says "that's exactly what my contending team needs!"

 

[supermann_98]

injury problems but before that I was a big fan of Timmins while on the Avs. Admittedly I dont watch coyotes games so haven’t kept up with how he’s been playing there

Good trade by Dubas

You realize you are in the process of having a meltdown over us trading an even bigger unknown for Timmins right?

 

[Knies iT]

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

"High reward"

A 24 year old AAAA player that's potentially one hit away from retirement?

 

[MagicalRazor]

Watched timmins play for the hounds for a few years ( I’m a season ticket holder ) he’s actually a stud.

If he can stay healthy he’s easily a top 4

 

[Dayjobdave]

I think Connor Timmins might be useful. I'm not at all happy that we gave up Curtis Douglas

 

[The Podium]

Anyone who uses Douglas and physical in their angry rant clearly doesn’t watch Douglas and are making things up based on his height….

As for the “they were going to waive him but we have not contract spots thanks to Dumbass” well Douglas is literally the 2nd worst player signed to an NHL contract.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Dubas needs to be investigated for nepotism lmao

"Toronto has acquired X, former player/staff member of the Soo Greyhounds"

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Worth a gamble. Didn't see much of a future for Douglas with the Leafs.

 

[Super Mega]

I love it honestly, my only question is waivers once everyone is healthy
