A free pick
Well it looks like it cost them $190k.
But yea free in terms of team assets.
A free pick
Work on improving their own team instead of helping others.
Option 1what were they supposed to do instead?
A 2nd round pick+ is a nothing return?I like Lehner, but th is trade feels like Chicago saying "screw you" to him and sending him somewhere he won't get to play, despite the nothing return. Have to think several teams would've beaten this offer. Keeping him wouldve beaten this offer. 3 teams in 3 years have walked away from him despite him playing extremely well. Either he's intolerable to deal with, or his agent is. That's my impression anyway, fwiw.
what if there wasn't a good deal to be made? Sometimes it's okay to not lose a trade just so you can say you did something. the Leafs making this move had nothing to do with them not making other moves, it was just something they felt was worth pursuing. and it was, since it was basically a free pickOption 1
Sell if you don’t believe it’s your year, that way you can get more picks if you love picks so much
Option 2
Add real pieces to shake up the team if you still believe this is your year
Stand pad is literally the worst

This is a unexpectedly weak take from someone who's been on this site for so long.Why did the Leafs waste their time with this?
Tell that to Doug Armstrong last year.......Option 1

I'm sure you know that each franchise has a whole group of staff in management, so they can delegate simple stuff like this to specific people, while still keeping the ability to negotiate other trades.
Anyone looking for a GM? lmaoOption 1

They retained salary on Lehner 44%Lol at the ppl complaining why the leafs got a 5th. Leafs legit got an extra pick for absolutely nothing.... Now we got 10picks...

What's that have to do with his point that standing pat is the absolute worst thing?St Louis did not lose to a zamboni driver right before TDL
What that kind of embarrassment happen during an already underwhelming seasonWhat's that have to do with his point that standing pat is the absolute worst thing?
Fleury has been one of the worst starters in the leagueis MAF hurt? Weird deal
lol wow 2 shots. so just because hes a no body it's impossible to stop a couple shots? everybody ignoring the fact that Carolina played a near perfect 3rd period.Instead
He saved two shots from a Mathews
But why would the leafs care of the deal doesn't happen because they ran out of time? This is a no-lose situation. (Other than MLSE's balance sheet)We hear every single year about teams working on deals but they run out of time. These people aren't as smart or daft as people like to think.
Well...they pay $190.000 for it apparently.A free pick
Why wouldnt he get to play? Fleury has a .906 sv%I like Lehner, but th is trade feels like Chicago saying "screw you" to him and sending him somewhere he won't get to play, despite the nothing return.

Will be fun if the 5th round player actually becomes good. Then they could say he was worth 190k.
