Confirmed Trade: [TOR/STL/MIN] O'Reilly, Acciari, Pillar to TOR; Abramov, Gaudette, ‘23 1st, ‘23 3rd, ‘24 2nd to STL; ‘25 4th to MIN

[Kobe Armstrong]

That's a great move for both teams

 

[GirardSpinorama]

His slow skating didn't stop him from ending Boston's top line in the cup finals

(though Kucherov is an all time playoff performer so I expect him to still do well lol)

There comes to a point where a slow skater getting even slower becomes hugely detrimental to his game.

 

[The don godfather]

Seems like a solid move to make sure the Leafs can match up down the middle with anyone else in the east. It also keeps O'Reilly out of Boston's hands where there was some talk he could be headed. Acciari is the sort of worker bee who is a PITA and has value going into the playoffs for sure. Not a fan of the Leafs at all, but they really did well for this and I expect they will still make a move to help their defense.

Bruins dont need o'Reilly we sure could use chychrun though. The ultimate prize. McAvoy and chychrun for the next decade. Wowsers.

 

[Jargon]

God, this is nuts! O’Reilly may end this season with 23 or 24 points now!!

 

[Dirty Dog]

A first, second, third, and fourth for a rental? That’s essentially a whole draft class of useful picks

Bruh... that was 4 years ago.

 

[centipede2233]

Tampa had Point for every game except 7

He was playing injured and rendered useless

 

[Space umpire]

I mean, that is literally nothing to be honest if we win a round. Most importantly, kept Knies and all our good prospects and roster players. Still have cap room to add if we want as well

If we win A ROUND!

I guess it’s good to have goals.

 

[centipede2233]

Point didn’t miss any games until game 7 tho…
Leafs would have lost in 7 either way…

True, still point was playing badly injured that he was useless

 

[X66]

Im actually shocked people are saying this is an overpayment.

No roster player

No knies, Niemla, Sandin or Robertson.

Picks lost yes, but Dubas can recoup those in other ways.

This is a huge home run on paper

It ain't like Boston and Tampa have gotten much faster.

 

[Pebble live]

Good on the leafs finally anteing up. Every year it’s some kind of head fake. They still need a physical defenseman I think. I bet they make that happen too.

So ...
Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Kerfoot-Tavares-Marner
Jarnkrok-O'Reilly-Acciari
Engvall-Kampf-ZAR

?

Kerf is not going to get 2nd line minutes. Jarnkrok will.

Shhhhh don’t bring logic into this! Haha love the moron haters on HF

can’t wait to hear about how terrible ROR is now.

 

[KrugAvoy]

So Patrick Kane is done.

He's going to wake up tomorrow and be livid. Probably chuck his Apple Jacks across the kitchen. No NYR and No TOR

 

[PuckG]

Seems like a great deal for the Leafs. All in now.

 

[PuckFather]

So ...
Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Kerfoot-Tavares-Marner
Jarnkrok-O'Reilly-Acciari
Engvall-Kampf-ZAR

?

only if they can bring in a better winger to replace Kerfoot...

 

[VanillaCoke]

Getting ROR and acciari knowing its probably Tampa in the first round is a superb add

 

[Theodore450]

It be smart to flip Kerfoot for an actual good player now

 

[leafsfan5]

He was playing injured and rendered useless

He was injured in game 7, he was 100% healthy before that

 

[JoeSakic13]

It was a serious question. I’m not too impressed by it or their netminders ability to choke for decades, so I ask

This is rich coming from a St. Louis fan. Take your draft picks and go.

 

[The don godfather]

Still not enough for Toronto to stop leaf crusher nick paul. Hes a factor.

 

[habamillions]

Steep price but i get what toronto is thinking. Good deal for both teams.

 

[La Bamba]

Leafs still have the assets to acquire 1 more significant piece. It's gonna take a lot to get past Tampa and then Boston. Dubas likely to keep adding because his job depends on it

 

[clydesdale line]

He's going to wake up tomorrow and be livid. Probably chuck his Apple Jacks across the kitchen. No NYR and No TOR

Watch him get traded to Boston now and you change your tune.

 

[TopG]

Amazing trade for Toronto
