Trades and UFA’s - Trade Deadline Edition

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Tired: Trade Marner for a legit #1 RD
Inspired: Marner becomes the #1RD

 

[TheShape]

Lebrun is a Habs shill, he will always do his utmost best to help MTL in any way he can. Savard isn't going to fetch that sort of return.

 

[LeafSteel]

Agreed. Rielly has been here for a decade and the best partner you could give him was TJ Brodie on his off side for a few years? And his other best partners being Hainsey, Luke Schenn and friggin Lyubushkin? That is absolutely pathetic. Also shows how ass the Leafs are at drafting / developing D.

Quoted for truth.

Ridiculous that year in, year out, we still don’t have a true RHD to work with Rielly.

Instead you put LHD to play on their offside and this is deemed a suitable top pairing defensive pair?

Rubbish

this guy became the best d man in the first round with schenn by his side. LUKE Zf***ING SCHENN.

Imagine what he could do with a legit top 4 stay at home d lol.

 

[Americanadian]

I forgot Pacioretty was still in the league. He would be a very interesting add up front and would most likely be relatively cheap.

 

[horner]

Dumba didn't look to bad

Nick Bjustad

[stickty111]

Horray for guys who do nothing but hit.

 

[leafsfan5]

please do not do this

 

[OVO16]

Bro NOOOOo anyone but Lyubushkin man cmonnnn

 

[stickty111]

please do not do this

I never wanted to see this abomination in a Leafs jersey again.

 

[OVO16]

Horray for guys who do nothing but hit.

His physicality is so overrated. Outside of a few open ice hits, this dude is soft and does not get nasty at all.

I dont understand this

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Adam Henrique better be coming with Lyubushkin.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Please God noooooooooooooooo

I dunno why people are so up in arms about Lyubushkin. He's a big physical defenseman that skates well. He's more effective than Giordano and Lagesson in the same role. He'll likely be dirt cheap to acquire and give the Leafs a RHD they can play for ~17 minutes.

This is peak Treliving. There are much better pending UFA options but doesn't seem they are feasible without giving up a first.

Because fans probably want someone like Makar. Or Fox. Or at the worst case Hedman.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Finally, the last piece of the puzzle. We get Lyubushkin, again.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Conor Timmins for Loob @50%

 

[DarkKnight]

Dumba looked good tonight to be fair.

Hard pass on Boosh coming back, he's redundant with Benoit in the lineup.

I wanted someone more meaner than Lyubhskin. His puck handling skills were also horrific.

He;s better than Giordano for sure but not Lagesson. He's lucky he's right handed

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Yes, fans want good players that make their team better. Not ex-players that won’t move the needle a millimeter.

You better hope as a fan your GM can do better than Lyb.

 

[SprDaVE]

The Leafs would probably love Henrique at 50% with Lyubushkin. But seems very unlikely based on the return they want for Henrique.

 

[Legion34]

I thought lub had like 3 years left. If it is us and he’s cheap I wouldn’t be thrilled but whatever.

Brodie McCabe
Rielly Lub
Benny. Lilly??
