Confirmed with Link: Lyubushkin traded to Leafs

[MarMarSab3]

Look at the market man, you wanna pay a first for another soft Charmaine defenseman lol?

Buy low, see if we have some magic. Keep our first and top prospects. This is a win for us.

Thats not low

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

So where does he play?

3rd pair with Liljergen maybe?

 

[francis246]

I liked Boosh but that's an awful deal. No way your trading a 3rd and 6th to upgrade your bottom pair

How? 75% of his contract was retained. We have room to grab another dman or a depth forward should the opportunity arrive

 

[DarkKnight]

Quite a logical take here but I still expect a river of crying, a 3rd and a 6th really isn't much to give up at all.

Boosh nation reunite!!

The haters are the same people telling us Holl's metrics were good and Detroit is trying to dump him as we speak. Who cares lol.

 

[LivingRentFree]

Thats not low

A 3rd is definitely low. The odds of a 3rd rounder making the NHL is under 10% no?

 

[Leafidelity]

Whats the cap hit at 75% retained?

690k

 

[LeafGrief]

Love how much grit we have on the blue line now. Boosh ain’t spectacular, but he can play NHL minutes and this was a cheap depth move. Whichever of Benoit, McCabe, or Boosh thumps Bennett or Marchand through a pane of glass gets a spot on Legends Row.

 

[1specter]

In an 11 year career, Morgan Rielly's best D partners are TJ Brodie playing his off side, Ron Hainsey, Luke Schenn for 30 games and Ilya f***ing Lyubushkin. What a joke

 

[Americanadian]

Worst trade of the Treliving era.

 

[francis246]

Quite a logical take here but I still expect a river of crying, a 3rd and a 6th really isn't much to give up at all.

A 6th is a complete shot in the dark. We don’t even know what year that 6th is in yet. Could be 2 years from now lol.

Are we even sure he's better than Benoit or Lagesson?

Pretty hard not to like this. They had no choice but to bring someone in. He’s an easy add. It won’t prevent them from doing something else. They need a guy to play Saturday

 

[TMLeafer]

Lol did not expect this. I liked Boosh but ok I guess.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Waste of assets and all of our time. Whatever. Hope he’s at least passable.

 

[leafsfan5]

very excited to see this defensive core attempt to move the puck

 

[Duffman955]

Weirdly enough, he's not the physical.

He's also terrible with the puck. Ok as a #7 Dman

It's basically just a housekeeping move. Zadorov price for a Zadorov ish level player coming in very cheap.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't get why people are hating on this.

Boosh was good the last time he was here.

I will say this can't be it because Gio, Lilly and Timmins are all out and Gio didn't look good coming off the ice so we need more.

But this is a start.

 

[LeafGrief]

Boosh nation reunite!!

The haters are the same people telling us Holl's metrics were good and Detroit is trying to dump him as we speak. Who cares lol.

In all fairness, I have a lot of posts about Holl’s metrics, and I love Boosh. Maybe I’m just bad at evaluating defensemen, but Boosh hit good, me happy!

 

[stats1]

f*** this shit

What are you expecting? Treliving very rarely trades FRP’s at the deadline and there’s zero chance he’s trading Cowan or Minten

 

[francis246]

Are we even sure he's better than Benoit or Lagesson?

I rather have a guy who can legit play on the right side, than continue to watch Morgan and Brodie play together.

Morgan - Boosh
McCabe - Benoit
Brodie - Liljegren

Or swap Liljegren and Boosh if you want. But the days of dressing 6 lefties is over. It’s been a nightmare

 

[Buds17]

Did not necessarily have a Lyubushkin return on the ol' Bingo card. I'm guessing he's happy to be back though? (his only playoff experience to date has been as a member of the Leafs)

Still, tough to give up a couple of picks here (the double retention). Welcome once again, Ilya Lyubushkin!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

So where does he play?

3rd pair with Liljergen maybe

Why pair our 2 RHD together? He probably ends up with Rielly again.

Rielly Lyubushkin
Brodie Liljegren
Benoit McCabe

This is the grittiest D corp we've had now, that's for sure. There will be board sounds lol.
