Confirmed with Link: [TOR/OTT] Zaitsev, Brown, Carcone for Ceci, Harpur, Luchuk, 2020 CBJ 3rd Round Pick

[Cor]

Also, just to mention, Bobby Mac's tweet actually said "at least 6" pieces, not definitively 6.

I could see our 2nd in '21 being involved. You would prefer that to Bracco, but maybe another prospect as well.

If we're giving them Brown & a 2nd on top of Zaitsev, I'm looking for a pretty significant add from their side.
I don't expect this will be the case though, that we'd be adding a 2nd round pick.

 

[BM14]

Maybe we get the deed to the LeBreton development back in this trade.

LMAO, my bad. Just thought it was a detail nobody had mentioned

 

[Maple Leaf]

Unloaded these bloated contracts
Good job Dubas

 

[Maple Leaf]

LOL ... RuPaul?

PAUL THE NEGOTIATOR

 

[Maple Leaf]

bye Brownie.

He was a real gud pro

 

[Rare Jewel]

Why does everyone keep predicting Paul? He seems like a pretty nothing prospect. I mean, as an AHLer whatever, I'm just thinking there must be a reason why so many people are throwing his name in. I see nothing special about him to be standing out...

Not sure, but they've got quite a few center prospects. Chlapik could be available though.

1 minor league guy from Ottawa to balance out contracts and each team probably swaps picks

That would be my bet

Zaitsev Brown 7th
For
Ceci contract dump 6th

LOL ... RuPaul?

Lol, that was beautiful

His possession numbers and all that are pretty good which Dubas likes and he'll be a league minimum contract most likely. He'll most likely just take Browns spot on the 4th line

Very good AHL production. He'd be a good Marlies player at the worst. He's got some size at 6'4" and fills a bit of a LW/C need with Mueller and Greening leaving the Marlies.

More or less a contract dump but I'd say he could be someone that gets a call-up if you run into injuries.

 

[Sypher04]

If Pageau was cheaper I'd kinda want him involved, so we could move out Kadri. I think Pageau has more offensive potential, not necessarily a lot, but he plays a solid two-way game.

 

[ULF_55]

LMAO. I did not see this reply coming, that's for sure.

Don't ask me ... these things just infiltrate the mind.

 

[Einzakin]

Im gonna laugh if they give us something for Brown. He might be the most overrated player on the Leafs. Fairly useless, decent 4th liner, maybe.

If we get a pick we're golden.

 

[SnizzMitch]

If Bobby Mac says that Zaitsev, Ceci and Brown are the primary sources, we should not be too worried about the rest IMO..

 

[bonjovi0308]

Is it possible Zat+Brown+Sparks for Ceci, a goalie(Condon/Nielssen) and a 4th rd pick?

Paul's play picked up towards the end of the season when he got into some Senator games. Could be a late bloomer.

 

[Sypher04]

Truth be told, with a change in role, I think Zaitsev and Brown can both be good players for Ottawa.
Obviously, reserving final judgement until I see the other pieces involved, but I feel like this is a trade that could work out really well for both sides.
Which is unfortunate, because I would love to further Ottawa's misery lol

 

[Heisen]

lol had to include Brown and take back a crappy player. dubas is full of soyyyyy

No doubt DJ Smith is in Dorion's ear on this deal-- they know what they're getting and see themselves coming out on top

You're really mad about adding a 4th liner who makes 2.1 mil a season who hasn't brought any offence to a trade that'll get rid of 2 contracts we want to get rid of anyways? You Dubas haters really that easily triggered eh

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I wonder if Chris Tierney is in this, if he is it could mean the end of Kadri, I also wonder about Demelo

I think Tierney is a name we’d already hear about in this mix... seems like all the major names have been announced, i assume the rest are picks and mediocre prospects
