What's his fancy graphs with the blues and the reds look like.

Don’t love ROR as the target, but maybe I’m wrong. Love Acciari though, dating back to his days in Boston

 

[Jannik Hansen]

What are the Leafs lines looking at now?

 

[Stephen]

ROR had 12 points in 12 playoff games last year, if we're getting that we are sooooo set

I think it just means you have a guy who knows what he's doing to throw out there to absorb ice time when playing Tampa and or Boston.

Acciari was such a pain in the butt.

 

[OVO16]

What a deal. Love it. Big swing. Have to assume we extend Orielly becuase we gave up a lot of picks.

I want one more forward addition to remove Kerfoot from the lineup

 

[Buds17]

Yes and no

He's the type to take a discount but do not like the mileage.

Not a fan of this trade?

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

ROR is a big upgrade for 3C but man he's having a terrible season, just bleeding goals against. Hopefully it's all bad goaltending but 4GA/60 5v5 is brutal.

 

[Alerion]

I like it, appreciate that nothing was lost from the roster to make this deal. Let's hope the players show up in the post-season and don't let another winnable series slip away.

Curious to see how the lines shake out.

 

[Stephen]

Getting ahead of things a little, but I wonder if ROR takes a Spezza/Giordano extension?

but on the 3rd line it would be different

 

[TheRumble]

Don't love it but I don't hate it.

Matthews-Tavares-ROR-Kampf down the middle is a great center combo.

if we get kane, we may be dipping into the prospect pool if we aim to double retain there too, fit them all under muzzin contract

If we can get Kane and can keep Knies and Minten, I would approve.

 

[SprDaVE]

Looks like Acciari has been playing C as well. 3rd most faceoffs on the Blues this year.

ROR 54%, Acciari 53.5%, both guys played PK too.

Center depth is always huge.

Holmberg losing his spot might hurt a bit, but he's played a lot of LW in the SHL so maybe... just maybe... something else is in the works.

 

[The Iceman]

Wonder if ROR is our 2nd line centre with JT to the wing???

 

[Burnie97]

Wow nice. Still have knies and nielma

Yup. Happy about that.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th thats a fair bit.

But that really improves the forward depth.

Tough but maybe leafs get a pick or two back in other trades. Plus kept the top prospects.

Let's go!!!!!

Matthews
Tavares
O'Rielly
Kampf

God damn that's noice.

Hard to beat that.

 

[BallardEra]

Acciari is solid too.. Dude can win some draws and can play a feisty game.

 

[notbias]

Not even sure what the lines are going to be, maybe something like this?

Bunting - Matthews - Nylander
Kerfoot - Tavares - Marner
Knies - O'Reilly - Jarnkrok
Engvall - Kampf - Acciari

This team just got insanely deep. Every line is able to score and is good defensively.

A steep price, but am definitely very excited.

 

[LeafSteel]

Naysayers are where ??

 

[Burnie97]

Could see more in the works and holmberg on the wing. Kid has game and jam.

 

[Pinto]

Common trades!!

 

[Kurtz]

Really needs to be emphasized that we added a 4th for double retention even though we had the cap space to get the deal done without it.

That can only mean that we have another addition in mind...(oh hi, Kane!).

 

[TorMapleJays]

Now Kane.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We got Josh Pillar too let’s gooooooooooooo!!!!
