And gritty, hits!

We know a few who won't like that.

Leafs nation baby

We know a few who won't like that.

Our GM has figured it out, him and Acciari, great adds!

 

[Fonzieleaf]

What an incredible deal by the leafs. Exactly what we needed and we got 2 draft picks to go with it.

It is absolutely confirmed that Dubas is going for it this year.

 

[TMLAM34]

what type of player is McCabe? Does anyone know if he is physical or PKs?

Defensive defenceman, plays physical, blocks a lot of shots and plays on the penalty kill. Basically exactly what we needed.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Why do I have to work !!!! Ahhhhh

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

+/- is a terrible stat, but how the hell was McCabe +7 on a Chicago team where almost every other player was mid minus 20.

Insane.

He was ruining their tank

 

[Rob Brown]

Let's f***ing go!

 

[BayStBullies]

Extend Dubas already

 

[Gary Nylund]

Before we acquired O'Reilly I was feeling down on McCabe. I didn't realize O'Rielly, McCabe, Accari AND Lafferty were possible. Lets go boys.

Why?

 

[Fonzieleaf]

what type of player is McCabe? Does anyone know if he is physical or PKs?

Both

 

[Orfieus]

Defensive defenceman, plays physical, blocks a lot of shots and plays on the penalty kill. Basically exactly what we needed.

That is so perfect. Hopefully he will be a upgrade on Muzzin (if Muzzin was healthy and playing)

edit: asked this on a different site and this posted this

 

[Warden of the North]

McCabe at 50% is great work. Hard nosed 2nd pair dman for 2.5 years at 2 million

 

[leafsfan5]

Leafs have added:

One of the best 2-way centers in the game
2 great bottom 6 forwards
a defensive top 4 defenseman

What a TDL

 

[DarkKnight]

We’re over the cap, does this mean Engvall is gone?

 

[SprDaVE]

 

[Duffman955]

Hell yes boys let's f***ing gooo

 

[BTP]

Just so you know, even if we lose in round 1, Dubas is going nowhere. The man knows how to trade.

 

[keonsbitterness]

TOR, BOS and TB all in.

Three teams enter, only one team leaves. Gonna be a bloodbath.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Why do we still have an untraded 2024 1st? It’s been an hour since the last major trade, wtf are you waiting for Dubas?

 

[Kurtz]

Excellent!

 

[Leafed]

Forwards in flux with one having to leave for cap reasons but defence:

Rielly - Liljegren (sheltered offensively)

2 matchups:
McCabe - Brodie
Gio - Holl

 

[Kg810]

what type of player is McCabe? Does anyone know if he is physical or PKs?

Physical and can do PK. He's Top 20-25 in Hits and Blocks this year among d-men and has managed a +7 rating with a dumpster fire team.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I really liked McCabe and wanted him a few years ago. Still solid?
