Rumor: TOR to trade Zaitsev + Brown to OTT for Ceci (three more pieces involved. Zaitsev officially waives)

I bet the Leafs get a 2nd from the Sens but they throw a late round pick into the mix too... Sens add a C level prospect

I would be pretty happy if that's the case. Really hoping there's some tangible asset and I'd say a top 60 pick is pretty good. They have 6x2nd round picks in the next 2 drafts... so maybe.

Nick Paul would be a pretty good AHLer to add if we're talking C level prospect.

Kinda sucks to lose Brown, frequently played over his head but he was a local kid, late round guy who overcame a lot to get here, and just easy to root for. ****in Sens too. Hate to see it.

As stated in the thread, I liked Brown Cow for the reasons you've mentioned.
He got to live his dream playing for his childhood hometown team and had a motor that didn't quit.







And now he has to play for Ottawa.

Life is cruel.

6 pieces in a trade. I am a little worried Dubas over extended.

It’s late, but I believe we’ll have 12.1M in cap space, with Marner, and Ceci to sign. With Horton on LTIR, we can technically spend, 17.4M.

So assuming we're able to walk from ceci and sign marner at 10, its 7-8 left for D depending on the roster size we go with

No, they're actually words.

He was easy to root for but for the love of goodness he couldn’t handle the puck last year.

At minimum they need 2 D a C and a back up goalie.

If we give a good prospect or picks in the trade I swear I’m gonna throw up...

I don’t see how that helps

then there is not much i can do to help you young grasshopper.

Leafs will recoup a 1st rounder for sure.

Seems unlikely considering we're giving up a solid asset in Brown. The only "prospect" I can see added is Timashov or Borgman. I don't see how the Leafs give up a top 90 pick on top of Brown.

it must be Leafs brass making this deal public....to put pressure on Ottawa to follow thru?
