Wish him the best. Was a good soldier. Happy for a 4th.

 

[garce]

Good deal for Blues. Thought Leafs might get a third.

 

[iBlaze81]

wish we gave Sosh more of a chance.. good luck to him.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Mixed feelings as I think he could of easily been a contributor to the fourth line going forwards, but happy to see him go somewhere he can slot in nicely and well a roll of the dice is always welcome

 

[carko32]

Got something for Sosh. Wish him luck, always liked him and hoped that he can stay in lineup.

 

[LeafsMonster]

I really liked him. But we didn't have space for him. Wish him the best.

 

[Spirit of 67]

I didn't think there was much interest out there.

That helps us. The contract spot is probably better than having him around.

 

[BertCorbeau]

That's a really good return IMO.

Helps Leivo's trade value too.

 

[7even]

Bummer man but I get it. Loved watching Sosh scream around the zone like a drunk Russian wrecking ball. One of the highest entertainmen/60 stats on the team.

 

[NoTouchIcing]

Can't complain given the current state of the roster. Would have been nice e to see him get more of a look this year, but a fourth round pick for a guy who has played three games is ok

 

[Keato]

Unfortunate that we had to lose a good player, but at least having too many wingers is a decent problem to have.

 

[Jozay]

All the best, Sosh.

 

[Mkdaman1818]

Roster crunch solved

 

[nsleaf]

OK, HF boards folks, this a good or bad thing?

 

[FlareKnight]

Best of luck to him. There just wasn't that much room on the roster.

Getting a pick is nice and starts the process of clearing a bit of room.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

How did we do this trade if Soshnikov is hurt? /s

Unfortunate for Soshnikov, but we’re just too stacked on the wing for him to play anywhere.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Hope he does well.

Bit more flexibility with the contracts now.

 

[WilliamInLondon]

would have preferred dealing Leivo over Soshnikov as I believe Soshnikov can play a more versatile bottom-six role than Leivo. In any event, at least they got something for him - if he stays healthy, he'll be a solid NHL player.

 

[supermann_98]

I feel good for the guy. He's a young guy with a family to take care of so he needed some clarity on his hockey future

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Hope he becomes a legit NHLer.

 

[Tall Morty]

I always appreciated Sosh, but something had to happen.

And technically free 4th, so can't complain.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Wish him the best.

His first NHL goal will always be remembered:

 

[Randy Randerson]

well, I guess we bought a 4th rounder for money?

wasn't excited about his ceiling, but was never worried about him in the lineup either. Good for STL, hope he gets to play a bigger role there

A little light but we needed to clear room.
