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

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Sheesh you better win now

 

[Just Linda]

I'm not a fan of Abromov, essentially a first, a second, a third and a redundant prospect? So cheap.

 

[Breakers]

Your first 3 picks in a draft screams desperation.

Like he knows this is the end of it doesn’t work.

 

[BayStBullies]

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

Probably not as quick as you all turned on him when you read "Leafs".

 

[Muffin]

Seems strange to target ROR when they already have Matthews and Tavares?

 

[Empoleon8771]

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.

I agree but a slight change: the picks are meaningless to Toronto as long as they win.

This really seems like a deal where the value paid doesn't matter, all that matters is whether they win.

Foligno part two.

 

[bigdog16]

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.

Leafs have window, you have to make moves and take swings like this while the windows open.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

Best center in Wild history immediately

 

[TF1970]

What is Toronto’s projected lineup now up front?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

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

It's not spontaneous. It's 19 point in 40 games and a -24 in the making.

 

[Amadeus]

This makes Toronto very deep and don't be surprised if they don't acquire a top 4 D-man.

 

[MoreMogilny]

You guys are going to love Acciari.

Leafs have had trouble nailing down their bottom 6 so this trade should definitely help with that. The revolving door featuring Simmonds, Steeves, McMann, etc can end now.

 

[BleedBlue14]

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

Not sure where you’ve been. He’s been an old man skating with a cane not worth hardly a 2nd to quite a few people.

This is a great trade for both sides. ROR and Acciari are built for playoff hockey. That’s a 3 line nightmare for opponents. Gonna really open up the skill guys for TOR

 

[Aashir]

Foligno part two.

Please no

 

[Gainesvillain]

Dubas pushing on a string with this move.

 

[AllDay28]

In before people overrate second round picks. Only thing of value is a late first. Cool beans.

 

[MK9]

Let the sad boy be happy!!!

Do first round exits make people happy? Is...that a thing?

 

[centipede2233]

Absolutely horrible deal for Toronto. Armstrong fleeced Toronto here hardcore. If and when Toronto loses yet again in rd 1, this trade has sealed dubas’s fate.

 

[Lolonegoal]

Ok, I'm no Toronto fan, but I've been saying this for years. I think when they do finally get past the first round their going to the finals. The cards are lined up this year. They'd have to beat Tampa and Boston finally. And I think if the goaltending is at least decent they could pull it off.

Of course they'd lose in the finals in game 7, but it would be a huge step in the right direction.

 

[rumrokh]

Foligno part two.

Vietnam was USA's Foligno.

 

[bov]

Anyone calling this an overpayment for the Leafs is a sorry, twisted individual. They don't lose from their current roster and are in win-now mode, adding two quality players. Typical HFBoards insanity.

Great trade for Toronto, let's see if Tampa responds.

 

[Dead Coyote]

I like Gaudette probably more than ROR at this point.

So much for not trading 1sts for rentals. Leafs are probably gonna regret this.

 

[TimeZone]

Foligno v2.

A sluggish, old f*** on his last legs.

Rejoice Leaf fans, we will surely beat Tampa now!

f*** off.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Probably not as quick as you all turned on him when you read "Leafs".

Many posters have been saying it before this trade....
