Soucy to the Rangers for a 3rd. Not going to take the time to quote myself saying that type of piece wasn't going to cost us a premium piece. Good deal for New York.

 

[Smif]

Really quit on our end so far. While other teams making moves. Not alot of time left.

Nothing has moved the needle much imo. It's quite clear we're going to acquire someone so I'm not worried at all.

 

[Advanced stats]

The Ferraro option is super intriguing, but prices probably just went up on him if Walman is gone

SJS has added a few guys on D in the last few days so definitely still possible.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

I'm pretty sure Ferraro is a LHD and plays exclusively on the left. Not sure if experimenting him on the Right is the way to go but idk

 

[Rare Jewel]

Reilly at this point is hindrance to this teams success

In this system, perhaps, but maybe they should pair with the right-handed defensive man they brought in rather than Myers or OEL on his offside

Ferraro is McCabe 2.0, would grab him in a heartbeat

Ya, I would've loved that one, personally. Not so much for a playoff run but my more for the long run.

But he wasn't very good last season either, I'm not a fan of his so I personally feel like he's better served in the press box

I hope they’ve moved on from Schenn and Laughton.

I’d like a minor deal like NY did to get soucey. Can improve the team and not trade any significant pieces.

 

[Commander Clueless]

I like the idea of Ferraro-McCabe, as an upgraded Benoit.

What do you expect? A defensive stalwart? That's not Rielly's game. His game is high risk/high reward; you minimize the risk by playing him with a sound defensive partner.

For 5 years since Hainsey anyway, we've been talking about getting that type of player, and he's here now, and the caveman behind the bench doesn't pair them.

It's not surprising, though, given he basically walked Dunn out of STL.

 

[LaPlante94]

4th round pick for Sturm for Florida. Why couldn't we be all over this unless he had a NMC and we were on it.

But he's so so bad defensively

 

[stats1]

Why not go get Geekie and Carlo? Tre must have a massive hard on for Laughton/Schenn if we’re watching everyone else get plucked up

Quit?

Didn't even start.



Hero always comes in at the last second.

Where’s the reward?

 

[Torontonian]

Yikes, Yzerman looking like a fool, paid a 2nd to unload Walman and less then a year later, gets traded for a 1st round pick?

Also, Toronto seems interested in ceterman/d-man only according to Insider Trading. Guess they know who they want.

Tanev, McCabe and OEL have all been pretty solid this year.

Rielly is basically only above replacement value on the PP and because he isn't penalized regularly... Below replacement elsewhere.

The biggest problem is Benoit by a wide margin... Like in every regard.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Where’s the reward?

A guy who can give 60ish points as defenseman as he's done. 58 just two years ago...

 

[ER89]

he tried earlier in the season..... rielly was dogshit .....stilll.

[Malachi Crunch]

Strong feeling that we’re going for one of Kunin or Ferraro. I wonder if we go for both Schenn and Ferraro? Im down with that.

 

[Cleetus]

Rantanen willing to sign an 8 year deal in Florida lol

 

[Fogelhund]

he tried earlier in the season..... rielly was dogshit .....stilll.

..and yet, they had 58.3% of the shots, and 52.9% Corsi together... They were actually pretty decent. But I'd say the focus should still be on finding a partner for Mo, as the rest of the four are quite decent together.

McCabe Tanev
Rielly XXX
OEL Timmins.

For how long?

And again, you've got to accept that there's risk and that there's going to be the odd defensive issue. Hard, I know, because Leaf fans love to have a guy (usually a Dman) to be the whipping boy.
