nothing deal. an exchange of minor leaguers in hopes they become major leaguers in a new organization.
I’d rather have Plekanec, Jacob Oloffson, Valiev and Shinkaruk than what the Leafs got from that, i.e nothing...
Definitely, but in the end we got a solid prospect and two depth pieces from that deal, so it’s pretty solid for us IMODon't want to derail the thread was just asking. And the Leafs cleared some contracts with that deal, those pieces didn't have a future here.
Exactly my thought.I dunno if Rychel will amount to anything but I do know that Shinkaruk won't.
No he can’t.I remember when Shinkaruk was highly touted. Could still carve out an NHL career as a bottom 6 energy guy.
He seemed alright in his limited time but could never force his way onto the top 6 and didn't play a bottom 6 style. And kept getting passed by other prospects.
He could do well in Montreal. They need offense.
Probably a nothing trade for both teams though.
Weren't you guys big on him last year?
That sucks, I really enjoyed seeing him in JR. But I guess it goes to show that junior success doesn't necessarily translate to the next step.No he can’t.
He’s top six or bust...and he busted. Who knows maybe there’s a slim slim slim possibility with lots of minutes and PP time he can resurrect his career in Montreal but he’s pretty much done in the NHL.
Weren't habs fans really high on Rychel? I thought he played a bunch of games last year and looked good.
Either way what a meh trade. Plekanics did nothing and the two big pieces Montreal got are both already gone from the org.
Leaf fans can fill me in why they traded him to montreal
A 2nd rounder?Weren't habs fans really high on Rychel? I thought he played a bunch of games last year and looked good.

7th first rounder from the 2013 draft to be acquired by the Flames.
Too many guys in front of him.
Wasn't realistically going to crack the lineup, so cleared out contract slots while bringing in what we hoped would be a solid 4C vet presence.
