Confirmed with Link: Leafs trade Fehr to the Sharks for a 7th round pick in 2020

[Lemontree]

Cleared another contract spot. See if the flexibility leads to another move.

 

[Raging Bull]

Should've been playing over Moore

He couldn't even keep up with Martin. He's a fine bottom line plug but not on a team as fast as this one. Imagine him trying to play with Kapanen.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

7th round pick, cap space and extra contract space

Nothing to dislike here

 

[Bullseye]

Wow a 7th for a player we had 0 interest in even seeing walking around the organization. Pick is unlikely nothing but to get anything in that situation is unreal. As others have said we are at 48 contracts now?

Well that's my thing - a 7th round pick is usually a waste of time. Why don't more teams package together a bunch of these 6th & 7th rounders for 4th and 5ths?

 

[Cor]

Fantastic.

Haha, someone JUST said in the Luke Glendening thread that LG is a problem because he’s like Fehr and Lou can’t get rid of Fehr’s contract

 

[pspot]

I didn't even think he was on the team anymore

“I’ll give you Fehr for literally anything except for future considerations”

 

[MattySnipes]

48/50 Contracts!

2 spots freed up with trading of Sosh & Fehr!

Love some flexibility during this week. Lets see what else might happen!

 

[JEI]

I'll take it.

 

[Liminality]

Not bad in the end for Corrado.

Have to think it does. He’s not a natural center, but has experience there, is big and a vet so it’s not like we couldn’t use him at all if Moore went down and didn’t wanna roll with kids there in the playoffs

Since the NHL went to 7 rounds a little over a decade ago, our 7th round picks included: Anton Stralman, Carl Gunnarson, Andreas Johnsson.

As long as we keep drafting Swedes with that pick, it's definitely not a waste of time.

 

[Morgs]

Fehr is bad, and has been for years. Why someone is wasting a perfectly good asset and a contract spot I have no idea.

Not sure why the Sharks love giving us picks though: 2nd last year, 2nd this year, 3rd this year, and 7th in 2020.

Lol. Agreed. Brown and Johnsson are good picks but we're at a point where quality over quantity is likely our focus.

He was never going to be part of the organization again after making comments a few months ago. Goat and Aaltonen both had the inside track of playing 4th line C before Fehr.

 

[Kiwi]

Good stuff

We traded a guy who's playing in the Anaheim farm system for something and gained cap space and a contract spot

I'd call that a win

 

[justafan22]

Enough room for a decent rental, or two if you're getting a 4C and bottom pairing dman for 6+ million

I said: in case they didn’t wanna roll with the kids, aka Aaltonen and Goat.

Inb4 Blues 4th 2019 and Sharks 7th 2020 for Glendening

 

[MJ65]

The bottom line we got rid of his contract and got a pick in return

 

[MJ65]

By the way SprDave is on a roll another breaking news - need more of these common trades

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wonder if this makes a trade for Luke Glendening or somebody else more likely.

Before today in order to bring in a guy like Glendening and stay under the 50 contract limit they would had had to send back a body, like a Moore or a Leivo, now that they are at 48 contracts that is not the case, now they could acquire a guy like Glendening without having to send back a contract.
