Confirmed with Link: Connor Dewar to the Leafs for Dmitry Ovchinnikov and 2026 4th

[SprDaVE]

Pretty solid depth forward. I do hope this means Reaves is out of the lineup for awhile.

 

[Cleetus]

Nice work Brad, I liked his moves

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Feels like a steep price... IMO. TBD I guess.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

He has 10 goals this season.smart.pick up believe me

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'm ok with it since he's cost controlled .. could be a longer term depth player.

 

[Once]

This is all I wanted. Good mix besides a smaller size. Big guys have the team handcuffed and dubas spent the assets.

 

[57special]

Fast, and quick. Decent shot. Has a bit of skill. Smaller player, but will drop the gloves as a lightweight. Very responsible defensively. Mentally tough. Mediocre on FO's.

Good on PK, will create a few chances SH on breakaways.

Stats are low because of his heavy D zone, PK usage.

One of my favorite players. Sad, and a bit puzzled to see him go, as he is still a RFA, and likely won't be costly to re-sign. IMO, he's a better player than Duhaime, who got a 3rd. Might even beat him in a fight, even though he gives up 3-4 " and 25 lbs. to him.

 

[Warden of the North]

Seems fine.

Need to figure out how to move Kampf this summer.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

As long as he takes Reaves's spot, it's alright

How do 2 Bruins beat on Lily last night & Marchand cheap shots Knies and nothing really gets done????

Dewar

Plan the parade lmfao.

Wdym??
1RHD, 1LHD and 1C

Pizza man got the job done



as for this trade, I don't mind a 4th for a pker

 

[Ports]

Who ?

 

[Hellcat]

Lyubushkin
Edmundson
Dewar

Plan the parade lmfao.

It's not flashy but very sneaky improvements. PK and PP you live and die by in the playoffs, all of those guys are good PKer's, we already have an elite PP.

 

[I am Canadian]

Penalty killer. I don't trust Nylander in that spot in a 1-1 game etc.

 

[Torontonian]

Lyubushkin
Edmundson
Dewar

Plan the parade lmfao.

Doesn't matter who we get, if the big boys aren't the best players every series they wont win.

 

[Woodman19]

Not sexy but stylistically I like that we are continually adding size and/or grit. I doubt any of the moves change the trajectory on the team this year but these are the players that are a pain to play against in the playoffs.

SCOUTING REPORT

Improving his skating and play away from the puck have turned him from an overage draft project into a forward with an NHL future. His compete level and intangibles are off the charts, but his lack of size and creativity figure to make him a low-ceiling player. His work ethic and ability to play all three forward positions in the NHL bode well for the future.
Long Range Potential : Hard-working depth forward.

 

[The Podium]

This might be a long term bottom 6 solution.

Physical, good PKer, can skate, good defensively, can chip in occasionally

This is the type of bottom 6 adds I’ve been looking for

 

[Rare Jewel]

Feels like a steep price... IMO. TBD I guess.

I'm actually surprised it wasn't more.

 

[kevsh]

I honestly don't know him at all but from what I'm seeing he sounds like just what we need.
And for a 4th going back at least we retain rights on him after this season vs. a pure rental.

 

[Gary Nylund]

My choice would have been to sell, 2nd choice would have been to stand pat. But considering that that just wasn't going to happen, I like that at least we kept our 1st and our top prospects.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

You are going to like this player. No media personality whatsoever, but he brings it on the ice every night. Good skater, plays a simple but effective game, primarily defensive focused but can chip on here and there and his transition game may be a better fit with your squad. Warrior too despite the frame.

 

[I am Canadian]

He's also RFA, so if he plays well he could be a perm player going forward.
