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

[BTP]

Do we still go after a top 6 winger and just be a complete juggernaught offensively?

 

[thusk]

The good thing its leafs get at the same time a great shot to maybe resign oreilly this summer...

 

[AvroArrow]

Praying that this isn’t a foligno type situarion

ROR just came back from injury, hopefully he can give that 3rd line some spark

The injury is the biggest concern, I'd give him all the maintenance he needs. We need him for the playoffs, not so much for the regular season.

 

[OVO16]

Swing a trade for Barbashev too lmao

 

[Buds17]

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

Wouldn't mind (whatever variation of) that as I'd like to see ROR in the top six.

 

[Judas Tavares]

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

Matthew Knies

 

[Menzinger]

Dubas, well known for his love of big boys

 

[dubplatepressure]

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.

I actually don’t doubt it now. We have replacements for Kerfoot going the other way in the lineup.

 

[Fogelhund]

It’s the type of trade we needed to do. Wouldn’t shock me to see Kane added too. We didn’t give up any prospects of note… I’m ok with that.

Now we sit back and see whether it works.

 

[ER89]

ROR at a qaurter of the cap hit tells me dubas is going be adding more.

I wanted meier but im fine with ROR. So long as dubas hasn't f***ed it with examining his health records like he did with foliage.

acciari is a beast too. Huge fan of his to strengthen the third line.

 

[AvroArrow]

Now Kane.

Do we even have enough assets left ? We need another D-man as well.

 

[DraftEligibleOHL]

I like it. Just the type of player(s) we need. They will compliment what we already have. ROR has a cup which will be good in the room. We're all in. Exciting times.

 

[LaPlante94]

How does the cap work here since we traded 2 AHL guys and brought in 3.1 mil? Does this mean Kerfoot trade already worked out or something? Any cap experts?

 

[Schennanigans]

Absolutely the move we needed to make. Glad this is it and not Kane. And the cap hit is a big bonus. If he can stay healthy it’s going to be hard for Tampa to match up against JT-Mathew’s-O'Reilly.

 

[Burnie97]

Not bad not bad! Maybe we can get O'Reilly on a Gio/Spezza type deal for the next couple years too. I kind of balked when I first saw this price but if we can hang onto O'Reilly for a few runs this will be WELL worth it. RIP the 2023 draft though hahaha! Good job Dubas

Going for it for real this time though. Better trade than the foligno bullshit... and yes I fell for that one.

So I hope this is the real deal this time. I think it could be. Plugged two holes.

Still may be trades now for Kerfoot... Engvall for picks... maybe not... just thing d depth now.


Man leafs really are good at hiding their info on trades now.

Kane real pissed now lol

 

[Griffin76]

The good thing is that he won't be needed to be a top 6 C. Just be defensively responsible and provide some scoring depth. Acciari should be a pretty good get as well. I like this trade.

 

[OVO16]

Holmberg was nice at first but wasn;t anything special as time went on. Was a good stop gap. We needed playoff grit and experience. Hoping Kerfoot is gone and replaced with Knies

Bunting - Mathews - Nylander
Knies - Tavares - Marner
Engvall - Orielly - Jarnkrok
ZAR - Kampf - Acciari

Now we talking

Dubas is going all in

This is going to be fun to watch

 

[Mad hatter]

It’s a good trade, O’Reilly is a playoff player. This isn’t like the Foligno at all IMHO. The team is close so who cares about picks now, do what it takes to win

 

[fahad203]

I would rather go for a another D.

 

[The Podium]

I hope Holmberg sticks around, I like what he brings and have a good feeling about his rise to the occasion potential

 

[Pi]

I really think the double retention means that Kerfoot is as good as gone. We're going to get another big piece.

 

[TMLAM34]

ROR and Acciari… Great additions!

 

[Americanadian]

I hate this trade. So much draft capital for rentals.

 

[meefer]

Bunting Matthews Nylander
Jarnkrok/??? Tavares Marner
Knies ROR Jarnkrok
Holmberg Kamph Acciari

We might be seeing the end of the Kerfoot/Engvall era.
