Confirmed Trade: [TOR/CAR] Marleau, 2020 1st Rounder (Top 10 Prot.) & 2020 7th Rounder to CAR for 2020 6th Rounder.

[Pyrophorus]

Right. Leafs fans were so sure they were going to move Marleau and get picks and prospects back

A pick did come back

 

[Kamiccolo]

Leafs may be a bottom feeder with that defense. Ottawa pick 2.0

Never change HFboards

 

[Beauner]

Dumb move by Carolina.

They got a 1st lmao how is that dumb

 

[CycloneSweep]

Eating crow. Didn't think a 1 year dump would get a 1st. Good for Carolina.

It does when your cap situation is that awful

 

[MAHJ71]

They snagged a conditional first. That ain’t easy...

That will almost certainly be a late 1st...

Considering the situation the TML were in, they got off easy.

 

[culturaldingo]

Wow... Ottawa couldn't do this?

HAHA.

Ottawa spending money to gain an asset? LOL, no.

 

[Johnny4778]

So basically canes just made a cash transaction for a 1st rounder next year and upgrade from 6th to 7th

 

[drw02]

Damnit wish Yzerman would have taken one year of Marleau for a 1st

 

[Super Cake]

Son of a gun, why couldn't Ottawa do this?

I believe Marleau was owed a bonus.

So Melnyk.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Wow... Ottawa couldn't do this?

What did you expect from Melnyk paying 6m?

 

[Foppberg]

A pick did come back

..For a 6th

[Soundwave]

Rough dealing that pick because it limits what the Leafs can do at the trade deadline when most other playoff teams will be loading up.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Lol, but but but, it's going to be easy for Toronto to get out of cap hell.

Well it was easy since a big part of it has been done 2 weeks after the end of the season.

 

[7even]

Well done Lou

 

[Communal Blood]

What's the condition on the first round pick?

 

[MardyBum]

Wow, a first. Assuming lottery protected is the condition?

 

[CycloneSweep]

A pick did come back

You have up far more than you returned.

 

[7even]

Leafs may be a bottom feeder with that defense. Ottawa pick 2.0

Low effort

 

[Cor]

I assume it's just lottery protection. If TOR makes the playoffs, CAR gets the first or something, and if not it's a 2nd or something like that.


Considering people thought it would cost us Liljegren, Sandin, Kapanen or Johnsson, this is pretty swell.

 

[Elias GOATtersson]

Wow! I really wanted the Canucks to make this deal. Good stuff Canes.

 

[CloutierForVezina]

Jealous. Would have loved to pick up Marleau's cap hit for a 1st.

 

[pigpen65]

Oooof. 1st rounder to get out of a 3 year ufa contract. Good job

 

[BB88]

I thought Marleau had value?

 

[Deadpool8812]

Good move by CAR to get a first
