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

[DarkKnight]

Berube said Acciari is the toughest player he’s ever had. 590 has a Blues reporter on right now saying “you can’t understate” what an add he will be, he’s been “very good” here.

This aint the ROR of two years ago. I think you guys overpaid from a desperate GM trying to save his job...

I personally think this was a Shanahan trade. He loves ROR.

Knies hasn't even played a game yet.

I imagine Knies has been playing games since he was 5 years old.

You mean he hasn't played in the NHL yet and that's fine but it's not like it's too early to make some educated guesses as to the type of player he might be.

Main board is a couple of doors down.

Wrong thread. This isn't the main board.

ROR will need speed and a puck carrier to play with him. I think Jankrok and Engvall make a ton of sense.

This could work well with the way those 2 seem to need to be in their spot to score and ROR is still creating at a high level.
That line would also be amazing at puck retrieval.

This is exactly the type of shit I was hoping for.

ROR for 75% off. Sign me up

How much extra did we overpay do you think? Like butter costing 8.49 kind of of overpay? I mean stuff just costs more now.

As leafs fans we were on the receiving side of acciari and as a leafs fan, welcome to the team Mr acciari. Please make yourself at home

He's going to become a fan favourite very quickly

Might have to order a white O’Reilly Jersey. 90?

I think so too. The NHL needs a "food bank" only for heavily discounted TDL difference makers.

Think you quoted the wrong post.

 

[PromisedLand]

I think this bodes very well for a re-sign.....

I remember his three blocked shot shift on that 5 v 3. I didn’t know that was him.

Dubas. Good Work.

Maybe. I didn't want to engage with that guy though.

 

[kb]

He looks like the stoner kid who goes in to a pub and gets refused service. LOLOL

LOL.....fair enough

 

[Stephen]

Not liking that quote from Dubas.
I would expect him to have more confidence in their drafting ability.

I don’t like that he used a glib Family Guy reference a la the message boards from the Kessel days. Haha

 

[WillyC]

Imagine how steep the run becomes if ROR ended up in Tampa or Boston?

We’re getting beast mode ROR for this year’s playoffs… then he re-signs to defend the Cup.

Trading stamps

 

[Eye Test]

Kampf is for sure over rated, he’s good defensively, I like him on the PK, but he’s a pretty one dimensional player, he’s isn’t some great get in the three hole, he’s serviceable. 4th line center playing 8 minutes, love him.

For all D zone draws…Throw out whoever is rested between ORielly/JT with kampf and holmberg flanking.

A shut down line of kampf holmberg and whoever would be incredible. Don’t care if they don’t score just get possession and kill time for the big boys.

ZAR should be off the team now as the 13th F hopefully…

 

[Mess]

The we have to win a round narrative is particularly sad, win a round big whup.

Well you have to win round #1 in order to attempt to win more.

The goal is not simply to win 1 but rather win the Cup.

If the Leafs only won a single round I think many would be disappointed by the outcome. IMO

 

[Macallan18]

Yep, I mean......Colorado should never have bothered playing or adding at the deadline last year.since TB had won the previous 2 cups, so that means TB goes on forever winning.

That's how things work, right?


Sadly, the post quality in here at times is far less than our team's quality.

Just a bit.
