TSN: Brown to EDM for 4th rounder in 2014

[I Believe]

gonna miss Brown

guy was a beauty

Yep, brought 110% every shift.

Can't argue with the return though, it was a good trade for both teams I think.

Burke brought all the Americans in and now Nonis is shipping them all out.

next on deck: Liles

Wanna bet. Nonis won't deal Kadri this we know. As for Bozak, Steckel and probably the most expensive shutdown C in the NHL, if someone makes him an offer, he's as good as gone.

Colborne is looking closer to being NHL ready than ever, but I guess we should bury him in the minors as we did for Kadri.

I wouldn't take that bet.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I want the leafs to stay far away from Hiller. Perry obviously would be a target if he's available, but would rather wait for UFA, because a trade for him would be too expensive.

If Perry wants to be a Leaf, this will be a boom trade for he Leafs, Kadri feeding Perry is enticing.

 

[Bomber0104]

So ****ing glad this bum is off the team. Took awhile but we're finally free of his nightly 5 minutes of idiotic play.

Isn't this about Brown thread, not some insecure guy's obsessions? Gets old MODS.

 

[leafspring*]

so you are telling if we get offered something decent... we are going to replace one of bozak or grabo for colborne?? even tho we are thick in a playoff race

He thinks trading them others is a possibility. It is possible nonis would move one of the 2 for a big scoring winger. Both are more valuable than Colborne though. I would trade Grabo over Bozak without thinking to much over which one to move.Bozak is a value that is rare because of his face-off winning ability.

 

[Fearless Leaf*]

Cool guy, but completely redundant on this team.

Fantastic return for him. Great trade Nonis! #Nony2013

Agreed, He is a good character guy who can bring energy and grit but he is easily redundant.

This is a good trade by Nonis.

I wouldn't bother with him, this is the same guy that's saying Gardiner sucks because he's in the AHL.

 

[Neas Olc]

No team needs three goons at the same time, move makes sense.

Steckel can win face-offs to.

My only problem with targeting Perry via trade is the price. I would assume something of significant value would have to be going back. Kadri and Perry would be amazing though. LONDON DUO

next on deck: Liles

Yeah i think so too. He will get you more than a third though,and is a player for player trade or in a package deal with us getting 1 player,and a pick back concept.

If it happens, this will be Nonis' biggest mistake.

 

[leafspring*]

Steckel can win face-offs to.

Go check this years stats. http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats....atus=A&team=TOR&viewName=faceOffPercentageAll

 

[The Blue Devil]

Go check this years stats.

Go check every other year. Hard to get into a groove when you're not playing.

In fairness part of that is uneven playing, the guy is a faceoff beast historically.

 

[ErnieLeafs]

To even think you have a conversation about Perry without Kadri being involved is naive. The Ducks would want him, without question. Either he or Rielly, neither of which any of us wants to see moved.

Either way, why not take the wild speculation to the trade proposals/speculation thread, where it belongs?

 

[smitty10]

If it happens, this will be Nonis' biggest mistake.

We've done fine without him in the lineup this year and have Gardiner who will jump into that spot when he's gone. Rielly should be ready next year too, so Liles really doesn't have a long term spot on this roster.

 

[The Hutch]

RIP Four Horsemen!

Sucks to see a good guy go, but that's the life of depth players. Hopefully I'll get to see him hand out some justice here on the wet coast.

I would imagine Brown was the easiest one to move. Orr's a million dollar enforcer, and McLaren is a recent acquisition who's been working hard and getting the results that a player like him is expected to.

I hope this means we get to see Mike Brown in The Expendables 3!

So ****ing glad this bum is off the team. Took awhile but we're finally free of his nightly 5 minutes of idiotic play.

Its high time Greg Scott got a look imo.

 

[Jerkini]

What's up with 2014 draft picks? Does Nonis know something we don't?

 

[leafspring*]

I know but he is not that valuable. He gives good defensive minutes to i know that. Still though Greg Scott would be a improvement over him.

A lot .

 

[Commander Clueless]

having both Orr and Maclaren is redundant
i would rather have one of them and brown

I see what you did there.


Anyway, I'm a bit sorry to see Brown go. Couldn't ask for much more in a 4th liner other than maybe size.

Personally I would rather have moved Komisarek for the roster spot but that's a tough trade to make so I understand it. McLaren and Orr have been performing better and have more size this year so it makes sense.

Good luck in Edmonton Brownie.
