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

[LeafSteel]

Why 2020

....... because hindsight is 20/20, and it isn’t always Fehr........

 

[Warden of the North]

I dont really think the point of this was to clear up more contract spaces as much as it was to give Fehr a chance to play again.

If it was to clear up a contract spot, some of you are going to need to prepare yourselves for a god awful cap dump player/contract coming back with the player/contract we actually want.

 

[Fogelhund]

And we turned Gunnarson into, get this... Roman Polak!

Then Leafs took one of the 2nd rounders, when Polak was traded to the Sharks, and ended up with Andersen. They have another second round pick in 2018 for him.

Think we went back to the well one time too many.

After watching Hyman go head first into the boards the other night may have changed some minds about keeping Leivo around for depth purposes

Depth is always good bit if some magic happened and somebody offered a 1st for Leivo he's gone!

I'd fly to Canada and drive him to his new home, we do seem to value him though even if he is stapled to the press box because I'm sure there's at least a Sosh type deal out there for him

 

[tokyoite]

Good for him.
He doesn't have to bad-mouth Babcock again.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Nice. Free cap space (he was a 2 mill cap dump addition last year, and was buried in the AHL), contract spot and a pick is a pick.

He should be in the NHL right now. Was doing very well in the AHL. I was going to say he could have been a depth guy for the Leafs, but I'd take the pick. We have a bunch of guys we could have as depth guys.

Wonder if we could do the same thing with Marincin?

 

[NoTouchIcing]

Why 2020

Because of hindsight

 

[PromisedLand]

JVR-Matthews-Hyman
Pacioretty-Nylander-Brown
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Komarov-Moore-Kapanen

Leafs got plenty of centers; who cares about center depth



P.S. just kidding

 

[ToMaLe]

7th round pick, cap space and extra contract space

Nothing to dislike here

I agree, nothing but goodness!

 

[Longtimeleaffan85]

Seems fehr!

 

[beleaf101]

Seems like a Fehr deal

 

[glue]

I forgot about Fehr, so to get any sort of pick plus free up a contract spot is pretty sick

 

[blue leaves]

That San Diego Gulls team doesn't look very good

 

[cupcrazyman]

It might seem insignificant but our GM is a genius
-Lou loans Fehr to another team freeing up a roster spot on the Leafs & Marlies
-Finds a team to trade for him & receives a 7th in return that can be used or traded for something else
-Removes his cap hit from the books
-Freed up $2M in actual salary that can be used this year or next on another player

Lou is one of the best

 

[MR4]

1.075M less cap hit next year for less bonus overages carried

 

[Gabriel426]

Good deal. An Ahler for a 7th round pick

 

[OVO16]

And we turned Gunnarson into, get this... Roman Polak!

Gunnarson has done Jack ShIt in St.Louis

 

[Ratboy]

Blockbuster.

Free contract
Clears up cap
Gives him a chance to play
Draft pick

Win-win-win-win.

 

[Al14]

Gunnarson has done Jack **** in St.Louis

So, many on here would prefer him on our D than Polak!

 

[cupcrazyman]

Blockbuster.

Just freeing up cash to help pay Matthews next contract

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

1.075M less cap hit next year for less bonus overages carried

Because the Leafs had LTIRed Lupul and Horton before the rosters were established in October. the 207/18 PF have to be carried over to next year.
Leafs have a decision next year October if they want to put the 2018/19 PF to paid in 2018/19, Horton's salary has to put on the opening day roster. As result the Leafs might only have 10m in UFA next season.

 

[BigBlu]

Lol I swear Fehr was better than Moore.

Moore than Fehr.
