Confirmed with Link: Leafs acquire Jake McCabe (@50%), Sam Lafferty, cond. 2024 and 2025 5th round picks for Joey Anderson, Pavel Gogolev, 2025 1st (top 10 prot), 2026 2nd

[nuck]

Guess I can pull out my old McCabe jersey again!

He can't have his Chicago #6 because its retired but Bryan was #24 I believe. It would be funny if he selected that one.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Why is it that anybody thinks Knies is a top 6 forward, a few make it but its very few

The NHL is such a different game than what they play at college. Yeah he's got decent size, but all of a sudden he's playing guys like Marchand or Kucherov, Landeskog, Hedman and on and on, those guys are all animals. If he wants to succeed he has to eat those guys up and so far guys that actually play in the NHL haven't been able to.

You never know ….

Tearing at my heartstrings ….

Makes me edgy for a comeback lololololllll

We are finally learning that we need these tools to compliment our elite ..
Here’s the other thing that goes unnoticed

Believe believe me when I say that our elite are smiling ear to ear and are sooooo relieved and grateful for this , X factor , they will have a bit more room and skate a tiny bit taller ..
Also the other team will finally know we are competing and are serious

apropo of nothing, I am listening to an non-fiction audio book right now called Quantum, where Schrödinger plays a major role as Heisenberg's foil.

I know the cat will come into it sooner or later!!!​

Well... going for it now. Let's f***ing go.

Good trade. Get a extra year with Lafferty and 2 with Mccabe.

Probably more trades coming but the depth is crazy now.

East is going to be crazy.

I think only possible trade now if we need to get rid of salary if Murray to come back next week.

I have to say, I'm finding Dubas more attractive than Nylander today.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Nose for the net , Fast , tough …

Classic attack the person when you don't have an argument.

Your post wasn't worth responding to.

Brilliant.


All I need now from Dubas is:

 

[AvroArrow]

The Jeannot trade was bizarre, does the Tampa management staff really believe his addition will exponentially change the effectiveness of their middle 6 and in turn the fourth line which was/is the best in hockey?

Nashville GM has some serious dirt on BB, doesn't make any sense.

 

[colchar]

I approve of anyone who punches Corey Perry in the head.

Clearly it was since you did (sans substance).

No, it really wasn't. It was sitting next to you on the short bus as you ate glue.

 

[willmma]

I saw the 2 and got excites.
No 4, let down

 

[mix1home]

Keefe has to be smiling from ear to ear now.

Lafferty, McCabe, ROR, Acciari ... much tougher to play against

I think our pk was ranked 10th and was not as dangerous. I guess it addresses both concerns. We shall be much better than 10th now and maybe score some odd goals on pk. We are addressing need and try to win special teams battles on po, which is very important.

 

[hamzarocks]

Dubas just got a contract extension from me

Doubted him but he's made some great trades this deadline

That 2026 2nd is worth less than 2023 5th to me

The 1st is closer to a 3rd for us

The time to go in has been decided. The boys need to not f*** this up. This team is deep up, down, left and right

 

[LeafChief]

Just wanted to make sure @Mess sees this since he flooded the trade thread with clips of Jeannot this morning but has since disappeared.

So we are no longer the least feared team in the league?

The walrus was Paul.

 

[mix1home]

Where do Leafs fans see McCabe playing for Toronto? 2nd pair likely?

Yes. Probably partner for Hall who also eats tough minutes.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

No, it really wasn't. It was sitting next to you on the short bus as you ate glue.

fight nicely guys!

 

[Da Mash]

Solid moves by Dubas …hated seeing 1st rd picks go but I rather see those assets go then our top prospects.

Dubas has a eye for talent in later rounds and our window is still open.

If someone mentioned a month ago that we would acquire these nhl ready players for a few firsts ,some 2nds and a bunch of Ahler’s and a throw in picks that have little chance to make the NHL ….they would call you a dreamer.

Yet we still have fans that will complain. Like the TO media…you will never make these fans happy

 

[Tak7]

Added a couple dime a dozen low impact players that may or may not be marginally better than the guys they're replacing. Seems like more of a move to set us up next year when we let some of our UFA's walk. For this year though cant say this move makes me feel any better about our cup odds.

Kampf ~ ROR
Acciari ~ Joey Anderson
McCabe ~ Timmins or Holl
Lafferty ~ ZAR

Bunting Matthews Marner
Tavares ROR Nylander
Jarn Acciari Lafferty
Engvall Kerfoot Kampf


Rielly McCabe
Gio Lilly
Sandin Brodie

Edit: That 3rd line is giving me a bulge! That’s going to be a nasty, uncomfortable line for the opposition to play against. LMFAO.

I think it will be

Rielly McCabe
Gio Brodie
Sandin Lilly.

Rielly McCabe
Gio Brodie probably 22 mins each, maybe more giving Sandin and Lilly easier minutes.

If things go well in first round I think Lilly's time will go up and up
