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

[Hockey Crazy]

Marincin has no value and would not get us a return.
Brown plays the PK
Ennis likely to stay on the PP
Gautier plays a position that we need in case of injury

Leivo was the guy who would be replaced on the right side on the PP and did not PK. Also could get a return for him.

 

[Schenn]

Are you his new hype man (woman)?

Nah, just sick of reading people constantly rip on every insider not named Mckenzie. They relay info they are given that often goes nowhere or throw tidbits of false info out for teams as favours to get info later on. What they report to the fans is only part of their job and the fans take serious offense when they miss in something.

Carcone having a pretty good AHL season so far. We just acquired future Leivo for present Leivo

 

[Cor]

Carcone is 22 years old. Has had a very good start to his AHL season.

Would of rathered just waive Holl TBH

Same here.

 

[DarkKnight]

Michael Carcone, so we traded him for nothing.

I wasn't expecting anything and I am still disappointed

 

[ottomaddox]

Kyper deserves some credit no?

We just have so many wingers, and you need that defensive depth in the playoffs.

Don't love the return, but get it.

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

Carcone guy is having a good year in the AHL

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

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

Boston and Tampa are both smaller teams than us...

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.

Maybe it really is about Leivo getting a shot somewhere else.

Michael Carcone, so we traded him for nothing.

Marlies need help this season, Carcone would fit nicely there.

 

[Tak7]

Maybe we can finally stop hearing about how Leivo is basically Rick Nash in his prime, he just needs a chance.

He got his chance this year, and did really well with it, and it earned him a trade and, hopefully, an extended look in the NHL.

So, yes, I think he proved many people who said he just needs a chance, were right.

 

[Mkdaman1818]

Btw, does anybody else love the fact that the deals don’t leak at ALL to any insider? The insiders find out about it like 30 seconds before the leafs announce it. Love it.

Leivo is a good player, and better than a bunch of our forwards.

Not happy

 

[Judas Tavares]

Damn we just traded Cam Neely for a stick boy.

 

[Burnie97]

I thought he was all class about what happened. It would of been difficult last year. I know they make a lot of money, even just to sit, but the guy just wanted his chance.

Hopefully he'll get a better opportunity now.

See you in about a month Leivo.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Josh noooooooo!

 

[Buds17]

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

Suppose it's the difference between getting a return versus the potential of losing a player to waivers for nothing. Of course, we've also now taken a player out of the lineup with the trade. Not a big deal either way, even if it wasn't the path I thought they'd choose.

 

[BTP]

Leivo fits well in the Van line up. He will play. good luck tohim

 

[Tak7]

Wasn't Dreger the guy who said about 10-15 minutes before 5PM that the feeling in the organization that a Nylander contract wasn't happening? Then he "broke" it at about the same time everyone else did. Maybe it wasn't him, not 100% sure but speaking for myself, no I don't expect perfection, in fact I don't expect anything at all. But I would also add that I'm not impressed in general with these "insiders. They're entertainers, nothing more than that.

Except for when they break news.

 

[DarkKnight]

Marlies need help this season, Carcone would fit nicely there.

Leivo is an NHL player.
