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

[Magic Man]

Smart to capitalize on this situation. I'll take it.

 

[Azail]

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.

Or maybe Bogosian wanted to go to one of the best teams in the NHL?

 

[The Man with a Plan]

I like those odds!!

Quit being a tr***
There are many late round picks and even undrafted (gasp) players who have went on to very successful careers. Some have even been among the leagues elite over time.

You and the others complaining should also realize that when you add draft picks together you can move upwards.


People who have an issue with this deal are the type of people who find money on the street and then get mad because its foreign and needs to be exchanged.

 

[Kurtz]

It's not a big deal or anything, but...Lehner is pretty much as good as Freddie, and he cost Vegas less than Campbell cost us.

But nice to get a 5th, hope we can do big things with it.

 

[baton elevated]

Yes, I already said the cash that was involved. It has zero impact on us as fans, so from our perspective, it was free.

Calling Dzierkals a "former 3rd round pick" is a weird way to describe somebody with absolutely zero value.

Complaining about this move is ridiculous.

Well when you consider it cost us Timoshov as well which we developed for 3 plus years it is ridicules. That fifth will be extremely lucky yo produce another Timo.

 

[stickty111]

Nice creative move.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Well when you consider it cost us Timoshov as well

It didn't cost us Timashov.

 

[baton elevated]

It didn't cost us Timashov.

Not directly, no but with everything that evolved it did. We should have got a 5th for him alone and then another 5th for Dz and taking Lehner retained.

I'm not complaining. Just pointing out the fact that your definition of "free" is just inaccurate.

 

[Dekes For Days]

No, Timashov being waived was completely separate.

 

[Dekes For Days]

No. From a fan perspective, the only perspective that matters as a fan, the pick was free. It was 100% accurate.

 

[Menzinger]

Keep comments releated to this specific trade or take it to another thread.

 

[baton elevated]

I think you are missing the point i'm try to make. whatever it's insignificant either way.

 

[Stephen]

We are discussing organizational transactions and the use of outside of the box thinking to generate assets out of cash and cap, so it's not "free."

 

[Gallagbi]

I don't think anyone understands the point you're making. Timo isn't related to this at all.

 

[Gallagbi]

Nice to know you have MLSE's bottom line at heart. Glad someone is looking out for it.

Feels like we make this type of move every few years, so not sure how outside the box it is

Lehner is a UFA after this season and Campbell is signed for another 2 seasons after this.

..... you are not comparing apples to apples here.

 

[saffronleaf]

Should've kept Lehner and sent Freddie the other way

VGK isn't tanking though

 

[Stephen]

Don't think we've ever retained on a three way before, certainly not after the team entered its contender phase.

 

[Gallagbi]

True, I am thinking of some others we basically bought for picks

 

[FraumBallard]

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?

Don't know what you mean.
I have watched this Team for over 50 years.
And yeah.
If you were on my lawn.
I would tell you to get off.

 

[tmlms13]

So 2,4,4,5,5,6,6,6,7,7,7

?

Lots of ammo to use to jump into 3rd round or earlier in 2nd.

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

RIP
