Hope they take the 3rd?

Ritchie and 2nd for that, eh?

I called it a long time ago this would happen. Ritchie and a pick for Dzingel...added Lyub is a bonus.

 

[Stephen]

Remember how I said I bet we get Ryan Dzingel after he scored the 2 goals against us a month ago?

Lyubushkin is also a big body defender. Not sure where he slots on the pecking order though.

Or a third if they choose the 23 pick.

 

[lovemyleafs]

I like it at first glance tbh.

 

[kerk]

dzingel is interesting. not sure what happened to him since he's left ottawa, though lmao

 

[Gabriel426]

I like the trade bc I always like Dzingel

 

[Cecithepylon]

This seems good actually

I put his name out there not long ago too.

A 2nd in ‘25 is LOL

Solid deal by Dubas here.

Hard to imagine they end up choosing that pick.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Wonder if this means the end for Dermott?

This deal is good just because it gets rid of Ritchie's contract for next year.

Lyabushin is pretty bad tho. I don't think he should be in our top 6. As injury depth he's fine I guess.

Still, getting rid of the Ritchie deal is the big win here. Good deal just for that alone.

 

[ShaneFalco]

What's not to like? I'm happy the moved quickly on a malcontent

 

[aingefan]

Nothing about any retention?
Got a plug and play d and a forward with sone good history.
That’s all good enough.
Gotta think a D is on their way out soon.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Coyotes very optimistic they'll have a team in 2025

 

[Leaf Fans]

Hard to imagine they end up choosing that pick.

I suppose it depends who is there.

 

[SprDaVE]

Added 2 solid depth pieces for 1. Dzingel will surprise people here on a great possession team, just needs to stay healthy.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Wonder if this means the end for Dermott?

Should be really it's time for both sides to move on

 

[BackPassChampions]

Ritchie was useeeeeeeeeeeeeless.

For now, I’m satisfied with this. Dubas recognized the weakest link, and is making moves to improve.

2 guys for 1, let’s see how it plays out.

 

[Guy Boucher]

As leader of the Lyubushkin train, I am very very pleased with this.
