it all depends if Timmins turns it around and becomes a top 4 guy. We are tanking. What's the issue if use a roster spot on him versus Dyson Mayo (who has regressed back to an AHL player who just happens to have a one way deal).
Do I think the concussion and knee issues are a big concern long-term (ie. even if he was lights out the rest of the season I'm not signing him to an 8 year deal if I'm Toronto)? You have to. I do think the comparisons to Gormely are legitimate no matter how excited some of us are/were as to Timmins potential when he was drafted.
At the end of the day I come back to this. When we picked up Valimaki on waivers it likely meant that someone else could get pushed out. Timmins is that guy. This is a risk BA made and he should be judged accordingly with how it turns out. I think that's fair.
Not excited by the return. Guy is barely an AHLer.
As other said, we likely were losing Timmins anyway and his injury history means he cant be depended on. Hope he does ok in Toronto. Not too well. TML fans will gloat enough if he simply plays.
Sure wish we had landed Barron instead (wishful thinking maybe but Colorado traded him to Montreal).

He's a big 6'9" C. Big players like that you would hate to play against. Especially in a checking role and especially if they can become an effective PK. 1 for 1 as prospects we lost this trade. If this guy can develop enough that he becomes a 4th line role player with the main squad then at least we got something. It all depends on development and that clock starts now.

I dig it. Losing Timmins is a big serving of nothingburger, if we waived him and got nothing I wouldn't care. Good luck to the player, wish him the best, but the impact of this deal is nothing for nothing.

Couldn’t we have given them the Nick Ritchie picks back with Timmins and got Robertson instead of Douglas?

wasn’t gonna be a fan but Utalked me into it
Kolychon-however you spell it is more exciting to me than Timmins ever was, but never have had super high expectations from either

Seems like a bit much to hope for. Maybe if we added Timmins and the Ritchie picks. Though that ship has now sailed.

I was a fan of Kolyachonok in the OHL and was pumped when we acquired him. Timmins was a nice long shot bonus with the first. And unexpected freebie

Leafs fan coming in peace. Last year, I was one of the first on the Douglas bandwagon. He is huge, put up .5 PPG even strength in bottom six minutes on the Marlies. He was working on his skating, which needs further work for him to take the next step. He showed passion, could fight. What’s not to like.
Many, myself included were hoping he could be a future 4C.
But this year…. The skating regressed, the fire wasn’t there and one secondary assist.
Maybe a change of scenery will light the fire again, I don’t know.

Kind of funny how some still view Timmins as a prospect when he is the same age as Clayton Keller.
