Confirmed with Link: Lyubushkin traded to Leafs

[DarkKnight]

Even playing with Rielly he’ll only be getting about 16 min a night. Not top 4 shutdown minute muncher minutes, but it’ll keep players in their proper positions and he’s physical. (93 hits in 31 games with us last time) i assume another move is coming.

Yes recall we swapped him out with Reilly in the playoffs a couple shifts here and there, it will be fine that way, Keefe loves that stuff anyways.

 

[sxvnert]

This level of retention = another trade is coming.

 

[LeafEgo]

With the snot up front, emergence of the Benoit/Mccabe pair, this is the heaviest team we've ever seen here. Let's see if it makes a difference, because we still have world class skill to burn.

Maybe pair up Lags with Boosh and create two Benny McCabe lines. That could be fun.

 

[All Mod Cons]

As soon as I see Steeves as a piece my eyes roll. Wonder if Jeremy Bracco is still around lol. Cannon fodder pieces.

Abruzzese as well. Apparently he once knew a player that plays for the Flames. They'll definitely want him.

 

[DarkKnight]

Kirill Slepets nation, this is our time!!!!

 

[HomelessPepper]

Ugh, horrible... Boosh SUCKED last time around in the playoffs and we just pissed away a 3rd for him...

 

[Stephen]

Lagesson won't dress in the playoffs though.

You never know with injuries, knock on wood.

True and he looks serviceable. I get what you're saying as well.

 

[PromisedLand]

This is what they call truculence, right?

It didn't go well in the playoffs last time... it wasn't terrible in regular season.

Every D pair those playoffs were negative when it came to GF and GA. Campbell was also garbage and is pretty much what made us decide not to bring him back. Muzzin and Brodie were on for 9 GA and 8 GF and a 47.1 CF%. Boosh and Rielly 2 GF and 4 GA and 45.8 CF % and Holl and Gio 1 GF and 3 GA and 44.7 CF%. Idk why we trying to paint this as Boosh and Rielly were terrible together when none of our D pairs were really good. Goaltending probably didn't help.

 

[sxvnert]

Rielly Lyubushkin
Brodie Lily
Benoit McCabe
Lagesson/Gio

Would still like another 4/5/6 RHD just in case Lily goes down again or Lyubushkin doesn't fit with Rielly anymore.

 

[Stephen]

Was hoping we'd go after him. He's not "the" answer but he'll be a solid bottom pairing RHD or possibly Rielly's partner.

I think the "answer" would look a little something like

Rielly-RHD of the Month (Lyubushkin)
The Answer-Liljegren
Benoit-McCabe

 

[HomelessPepper]

Would have rather taken a chance on Rifai.

 

[DarkKnight]

Ugh, horrible... Boosh SUCKED last time around in the playoffs and we just pissed away a 3rd for him...

He didn't though.

My Dude,

Are you predicting another trade tomorrow?

Let us in.

This.

 

[All Mod Cons]

What happened to him?

He started posting under other user names.

 

[PromisedLand]

Perhaps a minor factor, but there is familiarity here with the team and coach, so he should settle in quick and Keefe knows what he has.


Lagesson won't dress in the playoffs though.

Samsonov having someone to speak in Russian with would help too

 

[Rare Jewel]

At least with Slepets, there's a chance of having something beyond the end of this season.

 

[PromisedLand]

Don't forget Matt Hunwick, Stephane Robidas, Tim Gleason and Jake Gardiner

I am amazed people forgot Dion Phaneuf

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Chances Liljegren+ is moved for a legit top pairing D?

 

[ULF_55]

i'd prefer not to do anything if it doesn't move the needle

If the gas tank is empty I'll put I regular even though I prefer premium if nothing else is available.

 

[Kurtz]

Shouldn’t the question be, why isn’t morgan propping those players up if he’s supposed to be a #1 dman?

How's he not propping them up? He played with Schenn for a month and tripled his salary. Did similar for Lybushkin.

So why did we get this guys rights?

Russian quota? We havent brought a russian over in a while now after Zaitsev, Ozighonov, Mikehyev, Barabnov.

This dudes though probably is not good enough for a top 6 role on the marlies
