Confirmed with Link: [TOR/CBJ/SJS] TOR acquire Nick Foligno [75% Retained] & Stefan Noesen for 2021 1st, 2021 & 2022 4ths

[Jimmy Firecracker]

And Foligno likely goes back to Columbus in the off-season. What a f***ing heist for them.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Love it. The playoffs are a different game. We needed a player like this so bad

this allows Hyman to drive that third line which Keefe values so highly

Galchenyuk Matthews Marner
Foligno Tavares Nylander
Mikyahev Kerfoot Hyman
Thornton Spezza Simmonds

is how I see it right now

 

[TMLAM34]

Foligno is a warrior, this fan base is pure cancer lol. I'm pumped for this move

Totally agree. Guys like Foligno and Nash are the type of warriors you want on your team come playoff time. And for those who are complaining they’re free agents, who’s to say we don’t re-sign them? This helps us have a head start on negotiations for a deal to be made once the expansion draft is complete.

SCOUTING REPORT

Displays outstanding work ethic and grit. Has all-around ability and a willingness to learn and improve. Pays the price to put up offensive numbers. Can play anywhere needed, and any role. Is a natural leader, too. Lacks a little consistency from game to game, including in the physical department. Is not as gifted as his father Mike in terms of scoring goals in the NHL, nor is he as big (and imposing) as his brother Marcus.

Long Range Potential : Excellent, versatile scoring forward.

[Mickey Marner]

That's been the known price for the past week.

He has a ridiculously low oiSH at 5v5 the past 2 years. I assume he's going to be played on either Matthews/Marner or Tavares/Nylander's LW and hope to provide a Hyman-like presence.

This deal is essentially cup or bust on a grading perspective.

Exactly, he's a tertiary forward used to get the puck to the guys who do damage. Columbus just doesn't have guys who do damage outside of their blueline.

 

[WatchOut]

Higher price than what I thought, but happy we didn't give up any of our young guys. Do you guys thing we will make another trade or are we done ?

 

[Buds17]

The Toronto Maple Jackets are looking good! Hoping to see the return of the Foligno Leap come playoff time! Tough to give up a 1st for a possible rental. Better that than any of the top prospects though IMO.

 

[al secord]

Imagine caring about a 1st in this season ..

"Draft, Shmaft"

 

[Mats13]

lol

Man can never trust autocorrect

 

[Mickey Marner]

Not a 3rd liner, another Hyman type.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Initial reaction is that palmeri & Zajac for the same deal is much much much better than this... yuck

Ya would have rather had Palmieri at that price as he is a far far more productive player and very consistent

 

[Advanced stats]

75% retained tells me dubas' isn't done.

 

[Dreakmur]

Not the beat player available, but probably the best fit to help the Leafs in their areas of weakness.

Price was high, but we’re in our window right now. If we’re not going to try to win now, when?

 

[Randy Randerson]

Oof. Was hoping that the link to foligno and/or the rumours of a 1st were off base.

A late 1st isn't a huge deal, except for how Dubas has been doing with 30 to 75 range picks

 

[MrGroove]

Mentioned this a while back. Wendel Clark, one of the best, months ago mentioned we needed Foligno!

 

[Warden of the North]

Higher price than what I thought, but happy we didn't give up any of our young guys. Do you guys thing we will make another trade or are we done ?

I'd be pretty surprised if another D isn't acquired.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

I would have preferred Dubas not do anything than overpay for Foligno. What a f*** up

Hahaaaa

 

[Schenn]

I'm expecting significant retention to make another deal as well.

 

[Menzinger]

Pricey but I'm excited. Adds another Hyman type to the top 9. Of he rumored guys he was probably #2 on my shopping list behind Hall especially since Granlund looks like he's staying in Nash

This draft is hard to get a read on. And I suspect the front office is willing to gamble they can use their 2nd to find a guy who slips through the cracks.

Going deep in the playoffs will matter more to this club than any late 1st will this draft. Just have to wait and see if they manage to do that.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Gally and Foligno >>Johnson and Kapanen

 

[SubyDubyTML]

Steeper price than I would've liked, but im pumped!

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Not a 3rd liner, another Hyman type.

I think the issue is it is a short term rental of a low producing complimentary player for a pretty steep price in what was supposed to be a buyers market.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Please just don’t put Foligno in the top 6. I value his defence, but Tavares and Nylander need offensive help this year. They have some of the best defensive numbers in the league already.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs have Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Rielly etc. to figure out the PP.

If 50 million dollars worth of players can't figure out the PP, then they have bigger issues to deal with.

The whole point of the deadline is to upgrade areas of weakness, and that's really the only one. If they were prepared to trade a first, it may as well have gotten a useful return

 

[Rob Brown]

I'm expecting significant retention to make another deal as well.

75% was retained
