Confirmed with Link: [TOR/VAN] Josh Leivo for Michael Carcone

[Smif]

I'm calling Edmonton.

 

[1specter]

Good luck to Josh, didn't get a proper chance here but I think he will be a solid player for another team.

R.I.P. Leivo-Gauthier-Ennis, one of the best 4th lines we've had in recent years.

 

[Mkdaman1818]

We have a winner! Vancouver!!!

 

[MapleLeafs9]

What a professional Leivo was through all the healthy scratches/being buried so far down in the depth chart after we all once thought pretty highly of him. Best of luck to him.

Leivo for Puljujarvi

It will be a shame if he ends up in Oilers and succeeds

My guess is Pens

 

[X66]

Leivo was one of our better possession players as well, sad to see him go.

 

[SprDaVE]

Explain to me why we need 8 D men again? One of which has already cleared waivers before?

#Depth

I think it's less about who's better, it's about giving Leivo his shot somewhere else since he's been a good trooper and sitting him in the press box again would be awful.

The value back could be a lot more beneficial than waiving/clearing a body like Marincin, even if it's just a mid round pick.

[2022 Stanley Cup]

Vancouver

 

[Mkdaman1818]

Nah, theyd want Marincin too

Nah bro, 1 for 1

 

[nobody]

Leivo for McDavid

We can't take on McDavid's salary. Need to add in Marincin and Holl for cap purposes.

 

[lovemyleafs]

We get Michael Carcone

 

[deletethis]

This confirms that Nylander will be taking Leivo's place on the 4th line.

 

[Not My Tempo]

I guess in the long term Leivo might not be able to keep a spot in the lineup, not being a center and with players like Grundstrom and Engvall knocking on the door, but seriously... Justin Holl over Josh Leivo?

Leivo has spent the majority of the last couple years in the press box. It’s not fair to him to stick him there again

 

[Tak7]

Josh has been the consummate pro the last few years here - even when things weren't going his way, you never heard a peep from him, and when he got his chances, he tried to make the most of them.

Sad to see him go, but extremely pleased for him on a personal level - let's hope this gives him his deserved shot of being an NHL regular

 

[1specter]

I'd just like to say that Dreger has broke this and also the Nylander signing. I know he isn't as on top of things as he once was, but everyone expects perfection from these guys and takes it personally when they aren't.

So for him (and Friedman), I'd like to relay to everyone to suck it.

Again, nobody has questioned Dreger's ability to break news. That's what he is actually good at it. The poor speculation and rumour mongering are what people have an issue with.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Watch him go to the Pens, play in a line with Crosby and score 30 goals.

Not me. If he's gone I hope it's to the West, don't want to see him cycling with us hemmed in our zone in the playoffs.

 

[Goonface2k14]

 

[ottomaddox]

Carcone?

 

[DarkKnight]

So Dreger is an insider again, hard to keep up?

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

I'm assuming this guy is just an AHL player? Makes no sense otherwise

 

[DavePoulin4PM]

Isn’t he the only Leafs to drop the gloves this year?

Yep. Now the Leafs have no one with a fight this season. It’s almost impossible to construct a roster this soft. Dubas is achieving the impossible.

 

[SprDaVE]

Another player for the Marlies I guess.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Leafs just getting rid of anyone with a bit of size, God help us in the playoffs.

 

[fahad203]

Another small forward. Yeape, a Babcock player alright
