Interesting. Hopefully this gets the ball rolling.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

How exciting.

Isn't Ersson like really bad?

 

[Leo2Cutter]

Damn ducks should have been in on this

 

[wonton15]

Why did Toronto do this? Genuine question

 

[FinlandPanther]

This looks really bad from Toronto’s side. Ersson is garbage and Woll has been pretty damn solid.

 

[Forge]

Not the goalie I expected Toronto to move, TBH

 

[Warden of the North]

Philly fans please give me some info on players we've acquired

Woll - good tandem goalie, health concerns means he'll never be a full time starter

Benoit - tough bottom pair D. Little offense. I like him. I'll miss him.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yay a non-AHL trade

Why did Toronto do this? Genuine question

They had to trade one of their goalies. Is this the ideal trade though? That I'm not sure of lol.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Uh. Why did the Leafs do this?

 

[JKG33]

What a f***ing shitty trade for the Leafs holy f***. Fire Chayka

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The 3rd they got could probably move for another goalie.

Emil Andrae is a small, puck moving dman.

Kind of odd move, but gotta see what else happens over the summer

 

[Qubax]

Perhaps this is more about gathering assets/draft capital

 

[Warden of the North]

This looks really bad from Toronto’s side. Ersson is garbage and Woll has been pretty damn solid.

Goalie value is pretty shit on the trade market.

Emil Andrae is an analytic darling. Very good low risk D pickup IMO. He is stellar

 

[McJedi]

That deck shuffling deal would not have been my first guest for the first trade of next season.

 

[bov]

That does not seem like a great move for Toronto, although Andrae isn't bad.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I mean yes, but Woll is way better than Ersson.

 

[MiscBrah]

I get Toronto moving off Woll. He's on a cheap contract and has some value. I don't get the return. It will also be interesting to see what this means for Vladar's extension.

 

[Kurtz]

Why did Toronto do this? Genuine question

Hildelby is out of options so the Leafs had to move one of him, Woll or Stolarz.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Isn't Ersson like really bad?

Yes. I'm not sure what the motivation is for Toronto to do this. Is Emil Andrae better than his stat line shows? Because if he isn't, this is basically Woll for a 3rd, with the rest of the deal consisting of spare parts for both sides.

A Vladar - Woll goalie pair for Philly is going to be very good as long as Vladar doesn't prove to be a one year wonder.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Andrae a nice pickup here and someone I wanted Leafs to acquire for cheap. Worth a chance, potential is there.

We had too many goalies. Question is what are we doing with Ersson, Hildeby backup? Stolarz moving out too?
