[Woodrow]

St. Louis trying to get all the draft picks.

 

[JKG33]

Well if anyone can whip these f***ing losers into shape it's ROR

 

[Canucks LB]

ROR is absolutely the RIGHT Target for the Leafs, I love it.
Now I wonder if they gave up a 1st to do it, Most likely

 

[unicornpig]

Never let them know your next move

except everyone knew that was a stupid comment case he was gonna fork up a 1st.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Toronto trades for a marquee player, and HF boards haven't crashed yet. They must all be asleep.

 

[rumrokh]

You guys are going to love Acciari.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Anyone give me some background on Abramov and Gaudette?

2 guys who who won’t factor on a competitive roster. Abramov looked like he might have some promise but really hasn’t developed much. Gaudette sucks.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Leafs got robbed

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

First and two seconds lol. At least when Tampa went all in they got players with term.

 

[Kelly]

Knies is staying put so I'm happy. Wanted ROR and was okay with giving up a first.

What was Accaris value? The 2nd? 3rd?

Abramov and Gaudette are basically contract spots going the other way .. Abramov may turn into a 3rd or 4th liner but I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[DJB]

I’m before crash

 

[A1LeafNation]

Noice

 

[Leafidelity]

Kept Knies. Love it.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Man those are two really good players going to Toronto. Good return Doug

 

[BKarchitect]

Lol Abramov and Gaudette are nothing burgers and frankly so are a late 2nd and 3rd.

This is an awesome trade for the Leafs. It’s all about the playoffs and I’ll go to battle with ROR on my team any day.

It’s basically a 3rd for Acciari and a 1st and 2nd for ROR. All late round picks. You do this a million times out of a million as Toronto.

Huge upgrade for TML.

 

[Jargon]

Really happy about this trade because now it means the Leafs aren’t trying to get Meier and I don’t have to hear about Knies ever again.

 

[mab894]

As a Blues fan I'm pretty satisfied with the return. Good luck RoR (and Acciari) and thanks for the cup. I think its a pretty solid move for the Leafs as well

 

[HockeyVirus]

How about 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

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

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

These picks are meaningless to Tor, but meaningful to STL. ROR has faced the toughest competition on STL. Give him a lesser role in TOR and he'll likely thrive.

 

[BHD]

It's an overpayment by Toronto, but all they care about is whether they win. This deal is a success if they win because of it. If they can't go deep in the playoffs, it's going to look terrible.

That's how all of Dubas' moves will be viewed moving forward. He's had enough time to put his team together.

 

[BayStBullies]

ROR's value spontaneously tanks on hfboards, how unpredictable!

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

That seems very high.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Hide yo’ Tim Hortons

 

[leafsfan5]

I mean we need to win this year or we're done, might as well go for it

 

[Mattb124]

Excited to see how quickly Leafs fans turn on ROR after they realize he can't skate anymore.

Takes the face-off and immediately skates to the bench.
