Confirmed with Link: Leafs trade Fehr to the Sharks for a 7th round pick in 2020

[Menzinger]

Never was a fan of Fehr, but always happy to see a guy get another chance.

Main thing is - Leafs are clearing out contract slots.....

 

[Trapper]

I'm a fan of these moves. Clearing the roster clutter and stocking up on some picks. Even if they're late rounders, they're still assets.

I'm all for asset management.
Glad to see these things getting done at least.

 

[Mugzy97]

Now let’s move Marincin for a late pick and I’d consider our trash as cleaned up.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

now the real question is he gonna be professional about this or air a bunch of random stuff about not being treated fehrly

 

[BlueBaron]

Leafs now at 48/50 contracts, with the Fehr and Soshnikov deals.

Does give the team a bit more flexibility heading into the deadline

I'm wondering if there are any college guys we are looking at.

 

[Cor]

Least commented Leafs trade ever?

Maybe the Martin Skoula to NJD deal beats it lol

 

[Kiwi]

Now let’s move Marincin for a late pick and I’d consider our trash as cleaned up.

He's helpful for the Marlies in there Calder run though so they might want to hold onto him

 

[Dog]

Nice, totally forgot about Fehr! 7th is better than nothing.

 

[rdogg]

Hopefully that 7th turns into Henrik Zetterberg 2.0

No Fehr of that.

 

[CalEh]

Great trade. Fair value.

Good luck Eric. You'll be missed. I have your jersey and will continue to wear it.

 

[Razz]

Crazy to think we could sell off Martin and Marincin and still have no major impact to team depth.

 

[Buds17]

Two players traded for picks now, guess we're sellers?

Can't complain about any return, especially in this case since he was placed on waivers by us previously. Experienced depth option.

 

[saltming]

Was that before or after Lou was laughing his ass off because he got an asset and didn't have to take back a contract for a guy not even playing in the organisation?

Lou never ever laughs!!!!
Good job though. Now a 1st for Leivo and I'm happy haha

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Hopefully that 7th turns into Henrik Zetterberg 2.0

If we got someone half as good as Johansson with a 7th that would be amazing.

But let's trade our 2nd for Boyle again!!

 

[ULF_55]

Why 2020

Gives them 2 years to trade it back in another deal.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Decent return given the circumstances.

To be honest though, I think Fehr was our most effective centre on the 4th line earlier this season.

His level of play on the ice had nothing to do with what happened to him.

 

[Macallan18]

Inb4 Blues 4th 2019 and Sharks 7th 2020 for Glendening

Yes and next year when we need to dump Glendenning maybe we can get a seventh for him....
Lol no thanks. Getting Fehr was questionable. Dumping his contract and getting a seventh? Wow, win win.
But please, if we pick up a fourth line centre, let’s upgrade, not go sideways and get a bad contract.
Now Lou has to work his magic and make Martin and his really stupid contract disappear.

 

[Fogelhund]

Part of me wishes that this deal didn't get done until deadline day, but it was the only deal of the day, and they'd be stuck analyzing this for hours.

 

[Kiwi]

Lou never ever laughs!!!!
Good job though. Now a 1st for Leivo and I'm happy haha

After watching Hyman go head first into the boards the other night may have changed some minds about keeping Leivo around for depth purposes

 

[2 Slick]

This is a trade I don't think you'll see one single person complain about.

 

[OVO16]

Lol I swear Fehr was better than Moore.

 

[Al14]

Why 2020

Exactly! Why not a 7th for the upcoming draft? In reality, WHO CARES?

 

[cupcrazyman]

We were paying that bum $2M this season with a $603K cap hit.

 

[Al14]

Since the NHL went to 7 rounds a little over a decade ago, our 7th round picks included: Anton Stralman, Carl Gunnarson, Andreas Johnsson.

As long as we keep drafting Swedes with that pick, it's definitely not a waste of time.

And we turned Gunnarson into, get this... Roman Polak!
