Uhhh I don’t think now is the time for that. Likely for flexibility at the trade deadline for roster players this year.
That's usually off-season though, this is more likely to be making room to add at the TDL

We can roll the dice on another 6’5+ Dman with this pick. One of ‘em has to pan out sooner or later right?
Seriously though, good on Lou for getting something for nothing. Can never have enough draft picks and kicks at the can, look at Conor Brown and Andreas Johnsson. Two recent examples of late rounders with talent and heart who improved after they got drafted and were late picks that normally don’t amount to anything more than AHLers or Eeropean club team players

Yep.
I was no fan of the Fehr acquisition last year but Lou is clearly making me eat some crow.

Leafs now at 48/50 contracts, with the Fehr and Soshnikov deals.
Does give the team a bit more flexibility heading into the deadline

Pretty cool how we've sold off two players and are the 6th place team in the NHL. Goes to show how much depth the organization has. The picks aren't anything spectacular, but this is damn good asset management.

Can't believe this is happening. Someone pinch me. 7th and a contract spot. Fehr was decent and a good pro. Thanks for your efforts and sacrifice (Finger). Good luck

There you go. Anyone that wanted the Leafs to sell a bit have gotten their wish 
.
But really, solid to get any return for a guy we aren't using. Plus hey another contract spot opened up. More options for the Leafs to work with.

Nice, Lou is coming to the party with a fist full of dollars.
I have a feeling something relatively big is coming, like hopefully Martin+Carrick+prospect for a big upgrade at the 4c or the 3rd defence pair
I’d personally prefer that than going big and dumping JVR or Bozak in a deal because as frustrating as those guys can be, losing them without an adequate replacement would leave a huge hole on the 3rd line
Sharks called and asked Lou why they should give anything for Fehr
Lou answered "Fehr is Fehr"

Personally I don't think they managed the Soshnikov situation very well at all - if he played in the lineup quite a bit more, there's a chance he could have translated his AHL form to the NHL, even further increasing his value and allowing you to get something more in return / package.
But overall, you are right - it's very unusual for this fanbase to have a team that has depth all over the place; players are ready to jump into the NHL in many positions.
Free up a contract spot, cap space for a player in the AHL and get a draft pick... yup good job Lou.

I'm a fan of these moves. Clearing the roster clutter and stocking up on some picks. Even if they're late rounders, they're still assets.
Was that before or after Lou was laughing his ass off because he got an asset and didn't have to take back a contract for a guy not even playing in the organisation?
