Rumor: Chris Johnston: Some believe Toronto is the front runner for Ben Chiarot.

[thusk]

I like Lily, but I think this ship has sailed. How many years and he still makes bonehead decisions, and gets routinely caught. Top 4 against St Louey tonight may be a show me game. If he struggles again........they most likely will package him for a top 4 upgrade

Liljegren his biggest concern is his positionning and its something you can learn. He need to know how to react, where he need to go or where he need to be on the ice, who he need to protect. King of thong he can lewrn with experience

 

[Jerkbait]

I never said he wouldn't fetch a 1st, I believe he will and I have thought for a while that Toronto would be the one to pay it.

I said he wasn't worth it.

Worth it is in the eye of the beholder. A playoff round win for the leafs and he is worth it ....

 

[sittler rules!!!]

A rookie makes rookie mistakes half way into his first season. Clearly that means he can never improve. Trade him now.

He has been there now how many years. Very little progression

 

[sittler rules!!!]

This is his first full season with the leafs so, no years?

150 games in the AHL and 50 games in the NHL.

 

[13pacheco31]

150 games in the AHL and 50 games in the NHL.

So zero years

 

[sittler rules!!!]

150 AHL games and 50 NHL games. And yes he is only 23. He may well pan out. But window is now.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Please proceed, Toronto.

 

[Leaf Fans]

So zero years

Not yet. He is a rookie.

 

[13pacheco31]

Please proceed, Toronto.

It's not even a rumor, it's just completely conjecture at best

In his last 47 games he's scoring at a 47 point pace without powerplay time and leads Leafs dmen in xgf% at 5 on 5. He's closer to being top pairing than trade bait.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Now, according to Elliot, St Louis is the front runner for Ben and the Leafs are interested in Lyubushkin

Might be related?

TOR turning to Lyubishkin because they missed on Chiarot whos going to STL?

I suppose that is one possibility.

Leafs looking for a defenseman has been rumored for weeks already. One game won't have too much of an affect.

 

[cyris]

Not for this pylon lol

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Not for this pylon lol

Different pylon apparently but a cheaper pylon

 

[cyris]

Yep. But I’m good with the price for that pylon. I would have paid that just to dump Richie

 

[Leaf Fans]

...They need to pick up help on the back end and need to keep their opponents from getting him first.

Hey, the Leafs did follow your advice!

 

[Runner77]

I don’t believe that’s what Friedman said. When asked about Chiarot suitors, he mentioned St-Louis amongst other teams that have an interest but didn’t say they were the leading contenders.

The issue is how he plays in his own zone. When you are that much of a defensive liability, you don't belong in the NHL.

you should just stop pretending you know anything about Liljegren now

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hopefully this Lyubushkin trade takes them out of Chiarot, but I don't think it does because they didn't give anything unless you consider a 2025 2nd a quality asset

 

[Holymakinaw]

Any 2nd round pick is a quality asset. LOL.
