Confirmed Trade: [TOR/LAK] Kyle Clifford (@ 50%), Jack Campbell for Trevor Moore, 2020 and cond. 2021 3rd round picks

Agreed...we know about their 3rd period issues lately, but last night's was pathetic.

Not that this year is over, it's far from it, but I will say this, I don't think we will be sitting 2 points up on a playoff spot this time next year not with Andersen\Campbell instead of Andersen\Hutch

I have total faith in the new tandem

I think the best he can get is 1B, which is why Toronto acquired him to play with Andersen.

100%. Andersen is very streaky and really had nobody challenging him. His contract is coming up after next season too.

A former Leaf executive used to say: "The team that ends up with the best player always wins the trade".

So I'd like to ask you:

Who wins the trade? Who is the best player in the deal?

Then there's the Lindros trade....

Then there's the Lindros trade....

Lindors wasnt even the best player ...by a mile.

I really like Campbell! He's a warrior out there, I thought he played quite well in his first 2 games.

Didn't see much from Clifford, excited to get healthy so he's shifted down a slot on the 4th line.

100%. Quebec/Col won a few cups because of that trade...How many did Philly win?
Lindros was good, but that was one of the worst trades ever imo.

Great difference between a priori and a posteriori.

Dont think they ever thought Forsberg would be so dominant. Take him out and it's a different story

Thats just it... At the time Lindros was the best in the trade and that went horribly wrong. Hard to judge trades based on "the best player" theory. Who won the Erik Karlsson trade? Use the theory or wait 5 years to see who that pick is and how they develop. Do salaries/cap hit play a part? What about state of team, contender or rebuilding? I think evaluating a trade is more than who got today's better player.. But some in here clearly disagree.

Campbell looking great so far. I just worry a little bit how he'll handle being in the spotlight, from what I've heard and can tell it seems like he's hard on himself. But I think him and Clifford can be good guys to have in the room too.
