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

[Arthur Morgan]

late 1st in a weak draft year. couple 4ths are like rolling the dice. Im fine with it.
Wonder what else Dubas has lined up

 

[FelixPotvin29]

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

I may be in the minority on this but I can’t see Gally as a good decision for the top line come playoffs

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Imagine caring about a 1st in this season ..

I don't think that most people mind giving up a 1st, we mind giving it up for a guy that won't make much of a difference in terms of improving something which the team already has. Had this been for a #4 dman that could add some offense then great.

 

[Bluelines]

I don’t like this at all. Where does he fit?

Anywhere you need him, he's a 2nd/3rd line tweener, plays a hard game, would instantly improve the 2nd line, plays a nasty game that would allow Tavares and Nylander to play their skill game. He was paying 18 min ATOI a night in CLB, probably too much for a guy with his limited scoring skillset, he would be better down around 16 min a night.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

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

Or that Andy is coming back.

Can the leafs fit Foligno in without Andy on the LTIR? That is the question

[Warden of the North]

Noeson is AHL bound I would think?

 

[desperateblue]

Lol at some of you whining over the pick
Terrible draft year with scouts going off of luck and guess work and you guys are acting like this is the Phil trade all over.
I think this means kerfoot is going for a dman otherwise there’s gonna be some unhappy veterans real soon

 

[stewpac]

This deal will only be worth the price is if he jumps after scoring his first goal

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Barf at that price. Good player and style for us but at what cost?

I think people are really overrating the difference between a first and second round pick, especially in this year's draft.

 

[Mickey Marner]

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.

I agree, the price is more than I'd like. But this draft is universally panned and this is arguably the best team we've had in decades. Also, the player drafted with the first likely wouldn't be here for 3-4 years, if ever.

 

[IrishInOntario]

How the hell did we trade our 1st round pick and a pair of 4th round picks for Wayne Simmonds 2.0, who plays 18 minutes+ minutes per night and is a complete black hole offensively....

Just terrible.

 

[123offtheglass]

One for the plug (Noesen) and one Foligno

Leafs are battle ready

 

[OVO16]

The amount of people in here thirsting over picks. I'm gonna come back to this thread when the Leafs make a deep playoff run

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'm happier trading the first than any of our better prospects (Sandin, Liljegren, Robertson, and Amirov) .. Plus other promising guys

 

[On-the-Fly]

For a minute nevermind cost, cap and all that.

This guy bullied the Leafs for years.

Happy he is on our side for when the game changes.

 

[Mad hatter]

We really don't need more offence, need to be harder to play against and Foligno checks that box. Haven’t watched many Columbus games this year but I don’t think he’s s bad offensively as some tweets are suggesting either. This was a good trade and definitely makes us better playoff team. The 31 overall pick is not really that bad of a price imho.

 

[Bluelines]

Giving up the 1st is too steep. Okay with the player but the price paid seems high relative to other deals we've seen go through, and how suppressed the market should be.

Weak draft, probably a low low 1st rounder, not a big price TBH. Plus we kept Sandin, Lily, Robertson and that Russian we drafted last year.

 

[stickty111]

Don't like it especially the price, but hey we got tougher. This better work out or the big gritty fans will have a lot of explaining to do.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Our top physicals are toughhh
Simmonds
Muzzin
Bogosian
Hyman
Foligno

 

[Warden of the North]

Barf at that price. Good player and style for us but at what cost?

Considering scouting is almost impossible to do this year, that 1st is as big a guess as any in history

People aren't whining over the pick. We're batching about taking a washed up old man back, when a guy like Iafallo could probably have been had for that 1st round pick.

Crazy how ppl value pick 25-31 but are willing to move Lily/Sandin and Amirov. Love what he can bring to this team
