Confirmed with Link: Kessel for Spaling, Harrington, Kapanen, 1st, 3rd (Leafs Retain 1.25M or $8.75m) )

[Kbs]

I'll wait to see how it plays out but no Pouliot or Maata = Bad Trade.

Especially if we ate salary. ****.

 

[Turk Broda]

Terrible return. Disappointing. Oh well, we have cap space I guess.

 

[Schenn]

No maata or Pouliot?

 

[LeafsMonster]

No maata or pouliot? Seriously?

 

[Paradoc]

That's it?

 

[Kamal007]

Yes!

 

[Raging Bull]

What a garbage deal if that's it.

 

[Stephen]

And the return?

With Malkin, Crosby and Kessel they will not lack goals next season.

Crosby, Malkin and Kessel, the 2006 draft dream...

 

[Brewsky]

Wow, I hate this ****ing trade.

 

[HoweHullOrr]

I like Kapanen but Harrington? Not Pouliot? That's weak.

Still some speculation that Toronto has retained some salary as well.

 

[Woodman19]

Guess it shows the value he holds eh?

As a @RealKyper reported, Kessel to PIT for Kapanen, Harrington and a pick

 

[yubbers]

You gotta be kidding me

Haha

 

[LeafsMonster]

Ew ew ew. Wtf

 

[Swervin81]

That pick better be a 1st.

 

[TheOtherSide]

That is brutal...if it isn't a 1st

 

[Rare Jewel]

Wow.

We got our pants pulled down.

 

[Rob Brown]

Ahh, not overly enthused with this return, but if we're retaining and they aren't adding dumps then I guess it's okay.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Awful return

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

I was hoping for Pouliot in return

Oh well

Let the rebuild begin!

 

[Trapper]

No Poulet

No Pouliot? What's the deal?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Kapanen, Harrington, 1st AN we retained? That's a bad deal.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Sooooooo bad

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

terrible trade. oh well. hello cap space.

 

[Rufio65*]

Harrington is NOT an NHL caliber defenseman. This is an absolutely terrible trade for this team.
