Rumor: Josh Bailey to Leafs.

[Doublerum1975]

He only traded a 1st + 2nd + 3rd + prospects for ROR who just walked for nothing, he was pretty bad

This happens with all rentals don’t make it out like it only happens to dubas

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yea, what a joke. Bailey and Reaves will get you over the top. Shanahan is a pure joke at this point. Couldn't care less about the contract terms, this is not what the Leafs need. If Tre and Shanny think this is what they need, Leafs are in trouble.

 

[Rude Dog]

This has to be a day 10 signing, not day 1, once all other options have been exhausted.

 

[wonton15]

Treliving is going full sicko mode

 

[Martin Skoula]

Let’s go Treliving!! Show me a multi-year term with trade protection!

 

[Breakers]

very very weird start for toronto

they usually have more calculated moves

Bailey just sucks.

 

[RoadWarrior]

If this happens, it has to be on day 10 of Free agency not day 1. Brad has to exhaust all other options prior to settling on something like this. Ugh.

This reeks of desperation.

Josh Bailey offers safe minutes to both teams on the ice. So appealing.

Josh Bailey offers safe minutes to both teams on the ice. So appealing.

Leafs already signed one of those (Kampf) to 4 years and 10 million.

Shoot me.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

Leafs haters. All your ridicule towards us is valid today. Pour on!

STOP MAKING ME RESPECT YOU

 

[Orfieus]

THE Josh Bailey???????

The same Josh Bailey who had his worst ever season in the NHL last year???

Oh gosh, I sure am excited

 

[Vukotal Recall]

We can't even and we won't

 

[PromisedLand]

WTF? NO!

Treliving is drunk

 

[Vukotal Recall]

The only appropriate time to choose Bailey is over Jennifer

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

well unless I missed it this hasn't happened yet.

Marner
Nylander
Jarnkork
Bailey seems like a pretty strong right side to me if it happens.

not my first choice I'd prefer Miles Wood, Max Domi, Alex Killorn, Matt Duchene or Tyler Bertuzzi

but if you could bring in Bailry and one of those other guys it's a solid day

Shoot me.

Bailey is in decline. Kampf would outscore him.

Hell even Holmberg would outscore him.

 

[The Real JT]

Bailey-Tavares-Reaves

Solid 2nd line

I’ll assume your post wasn’t pure sarcasm so here goes.

Bailey won’t shoot unless there’s a gun to his head and Reaves can’t score. Ironically, Reaves might be the fasted skater on that line.

 

[IslesNorway]

Hope they give him multiple years

 

[RoadWarrior]

Hope they give him multiple years

I hope this was sarcastic.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Because on the first day of free agency your focus shouldn’t be on 34 year old healthy scratches. Bailey is what they call a “Day 2” guy because he’ll still be there tomorrow.

It takes zero effort to text the guy and be like sup g you tryna join the leafs or nah. Yeah? Ight I’m finna run you up a league minimum contract. Takes 30 seconds dude chill

Shoot me.

At least Kampf is an excellent penalty killer and an important guy for D zone draws. Bailey is nothing.

Is a cheap Bailey in the bottom 9 really that bad?

 

[Cogburn]

Is a cheap Bailey in the bottom 9 really that bad?

I don't know that he would be cheap.

I hope for Leafs fans that it's a single year, at a cheapish cap hit, but....well, the suspense is killing me.

 

[FrozenJagrt]

I desperately didn't want the Leafs to hire Treliving for stuff like this. I really hope this isn't true, but it sure seems like Treliving is an absolute dunce. I have no faith in his ability to construct and maintain a competitive roster.

On a multi year deal it is. He’s basically done.
