Confirmed with Link: Leafs have acquired Ryan O’Reilly, Noel Acciari & Josh Pillar in a three-team trade with STL and MIN

[All Mod Cons]

That's a lot of picks traded. Be interesting to see how ROR fits.

 

[BayStBullies]

Wow, something happened!!

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Exactly the same time that I was posting that Dubas is a bum in the other thread. I have the power!

 

[hamzarocks]

And all the top prospects sill in the system...



Could see ROR and Knies on the same line come the playoffs lol

We only have two legit good prospects



1 in knies and half in both Robertson and niemela

 

[Aashir]

2 goals and 3 points in 3 games since coming back. Seems to be doing ok.

He's also been over 60% on faceoffs in those 3 games.

That sounds good

He can really be an amazing fit on that 3rd line. Shame we dont have a winger to move jarnkrok down to play with him, that would make our third line elite. Either way, ROR playing 3C and Kampf playing 4C really should insulate our bottom six

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Wow, what are the chances I get involved in a debate on the Leafs forum (never do that) literally go out for a smoke (Leafs always score when I do that, it's weird) come back and 4 minutes later there is a massive trade?

And really not a bad hit.......some late picks (our first will be late)

But in hindsight this needs to be good.

 

[ktownhockey]

Diggin' it..... wooooo Acciari is no joke.

 

[Canucks LB]

Congratulations guys!
ROR is the RIGHT move, This is a playoff player, Big Strong, Can Dominate when Healthy.
Love the player, Not sure what you guys gave up yet tho

 

[DopeyFish]

patrick kane now looking for a 3rd suitor

 

[fahad203]

Did not give up any significant asset. We still holding on to our top prospects

Great stuff Kyle. Let's hope ROR can stay healthy

We still have assets to get a D

patrick kane now looking for a 3rd suitor

Imagine if we somehow nag Kane as well

 

[bax]

Very happy with this.

 

[Gurglesons]

Leafs forward depth just got nasty. Hope you guys can finally do it.

 

[Leaffan1991]

So what's playoff lineup prediction?

Bunting Matthews Nylander
Jarnkrok Tavares Marner
Knies ROR Kerfoot
Engvall Kampf Acciari

??

 

[Brobust]

Like this trade.

Hope they can keep O'Reilly. One of my favorite non-leafs.

We didn't want to move Minten or Knies. Mission accomplished.

I want to see Holmberg on O'Reilly's wing.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Ok. Fine.

Hope O’Reilly’s back is good.

 

[Dog]

I'm going to say thank you Dubas because O'Reilly is what we needed!

 

[DopeyFish]

Imagine if we somehow nag Kane as well

they could if they drop kerfoot and holl probably even with only 1 retention which is WILD

 

[A1LeafNation]

Let's go!!!!!

Matthews
Tavares
O'Rielly
Kampf

God damn that's noice.

 

[TorMapleJays]

@Dekes For Days I like this move. Can we still get Kane?

 

[Menzinger]

At this point he could probably end the season in Chicago

 

[BayStBullies]

A friend said "Amirov" and I was gutted. I'm glad they were wrong. A late first and bad prospects is more than reasonable.

 

[HolyCrap]

Speechless.

This needs to sink in…

Same. I needed a reason to drink and this is good enough for me. Lol.

 

[cyris]

Holy $***. Well so much for not trading our first for a rental. The price was huge but I love what we are getting back
