Confirmed with Link: Leafs Acquire a 5th pick and retain Lehner’s salary

[Polaris1010]

10 picks in this years draft. And we draft well.

I think the point is the win the Stanley Cup.

I never seen so much talent on any Leafs team in my decades of watching them.

I never seen a management group so inept and out of touch.

Hopefully Shanahan and Dubas will be liquidated soon.

At this point, the entire league probably expects it.

We can only hope.

It's actually $190,000 in cold hard cash and a former 3rd round pick.

Considering the things most teams waste money on, a few thousand dollars and a bust of a contract for a pick is more than okay by me

The 6th and 7th rounds is where you want to load up your picks. We're in good hands guys.

The current roster has two former 7th round picks.

 

[The Iceman]

A 5th round pick RARELY finds an NHL player! RARELY!

But a extra 5th + a pick may allow the team to move up a few spots. Or attach to a player and the pick.

It is currency.

 

[FraumBallard]

So, you wanted every issue addressed today? Seems realistic.

How about just one?
Too much to ask?
Clearly the answer is yes.

This is a systemic issue. If you can't see that a band aid won't fix the Titanic, I don't know what to say to you.

Some folks just want to complain about everything today.

I like those odds!!

No kidding.
It's a Dubas system thing.
He's an idiot.
The standings don't lie.
Big changes are needed.
Starting with Wonder Boy.
If you can't see that.
Yada Yada Yada.
Please.
Pay attention.
The construction of this Team is bad
That is all on Dubas.
You just called it the Titanic.
Nuff said.

You could have at least made it seem like you knew they got a 5th round pick

 

[barilko05]

Leafs should have kept Lehner and sent Andersen packing to Vegas.

Shouldn't we have gotten something from Chicago as well? I mean, this looks like we picked up Lehner at 50 per cent off, got nothing from the Hawks, and then dealt him to Vegas for their 5th? Something's missing here...

 

[BayStBullies]

Some folks just want to complain about everything today.

It happens every year. They spend the year theory crafting braindead one-sided trades. They then get angry that the GM didn't pull them off.

"Herp, derp, I'm a better GM".

 

[ToneDog]

The current roster has two former 7th round picks.

With the $40M quartet taking up the cap we are going to need a few more Engvall's and AJs. Problem is the odds of drafting one or two beyond the 4th round are very low (Dubas can do the math for you).

Oh it's fine.

So do you actually have a legitimate disagreement with this trade, or seemingly just complaining for the sake of complaining?

I do pay attention. And unlike you, I am here for the highs and the lows.

So it's my fault for not firing Dubas for you?

Keep up please. Or is someone on your lawn?

I knew.

Not complaining about the trade at all. Where do you get that from?

 

[LeafSadist]

Robin Lehner and Martin Skoula will be forever remembered for their tenure here.

Sure, thenodds are absolutely lower than early round picks. But that doeant mean these moves still arent worth doing.

Team i cheer for got a draft pick without giving up anything of value. That's just fine by me

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Weird. Was just looking at Cap Friendly and trying to figure out why we were listed as having retained salary on Lehner. Guess I missed a trade! LOL

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

They weren't half the players Olaf Kolzig was.

Sure it can't hurt. Neither could signing Bogozian for nothing as depth but they passed and pretty much have resigned themselves to not making it past round #1.

If we get in, and get Tampa, I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as that, but against Boston, I probably agree
