That Allard trade will be interesting. I have a feeling that return may end up shocking considering the market this year.

Brampton fills their open OA spot with Lefebvre. This really makes me think BRAM is considering not buying this deadline
EDIT:
And then 30 minutes later they spend 3 cards on call-ups, which very rarely is done on teams who are looking to add big as cards get used up fast when doing that

Technically they haven’t spent any cards. First, they are all rookies so they have to play (I think) 8 games before their card is assigned. Second, we don’t even know if any of them will play in Brampton this year at all.
Absolutely shocked they added Lefebvre. I wonder if he is only a stop gap solution.
My thoughts exactly. Stop gap until the deadline for basically nothing and if the fit is right and he basically forces them to keep him then that’s good too. Basically a test drive for a month

Wonder what changed because PBO put him on waivers 2 weeks ago and nobody claimed him. Brampton could've had him for free at that point. I'd guess at that point they were planning on spending more to get someone better. But things have changed since then?

There’s definitely better OA options than Lefebvre available, but they’d be more expensive since it essentially cost Brampton ZERO to bring him in.

Ottawa paid an 8th round pick for Lawrence last season as a stop gap solution to bridge to the deadline. I can see this being the same situation.
EDIT: I am sort of surprised they didn’t acquire a cheap OA role player earlier to be honest.

Was busy at work, didn't know anything was happening until I looked at the games line up.
J Harding has played in 8 games including tonight. Stephan and MacAuley are both '05 FA signings. Shows how thin the D corp is with the injuries as both played tonight, a fair bit. Both with cages, guess not signed to A card?
I think or perhaps hope Lefebvre is a stop gap solution, but I have no idea when some of the injured return. The price wasn't much so it doesn't hurt to add an a 3rd OA now to help fill out the depth. Causes me concern that either one or both Kamaris or MacDonnel might not be returning too soon. In fact the recent string of signings seem to suggest the same for some of the injured D.
Good to get the win and 2 points, too bad they couldn't seal the deal in regulation and avoid ceding a pint to Niagara.
