He's still your third highest paid defenseman I wonder if he regrets not waiving his no trade clause last summer; he could be playing for Vegas right now. Oh well, I guess L.A. is better than Ottawa.

Strange how things have totally 180'ed.

And if he was playing for Vegas, do you still think they'd be where they are with Methot out and Phaneuf in? lol He's sucks the life out of any team he plays for.

Possibly, but judging from the stats, Methot hasn't made much a contribution to Vegas's success this year. It doesn't look like it would take much to be an improvement over Methot this year. I guess we will see how L.A. does with him. They are currently one spot out of the playoffs. https://www.nhl.com/player/marc-methot-8470760

He was traded to the Stars before the Knights ever played a game for a goalie prospect and 2nd round pick in 2020.

leaf4 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Scary few minutes there thinking Gardiner had been traded.... He's been solid the last few months, wasn't sure if they'd upped his trade value and shipped him out or what.. One thing is for sure, based on the amount of online flipping out over where he was after taking the first shift of the second then going back into the dressing room, he's better than what he gets credit for and a lot of people would've missed him haha
mikeh Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 I think one player that was missed when he was out was Zaitsev, for a guy that is not so big he sure is physical in front of the net and works really hard. another player I like is Polak, very physical in front of the net just what the Leafs need.

Good job JB on upping your banter, you have learned well!!! LOL Phanuf screwed Ottawa by not waiving it last year and Methot being the casualty. Now he is gone and Ottawa basically got nothing again except for saving 4.5 mil over 4 years. Dorion, which ironically has the same letters to spell Dion, is messing this team up and needs to go! Vegas is a one off, they better enjoy it while they can.

DRIFTER_016 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Posted February 15, 2018 Soshnikov traded to the Blues for a 4th rounder in 2019. He wasn't playing and asked for a trade. Hope he gets more ice time now. https://www.tsn.ca/leafs-trade-soshnikov-to-blues-for-4th-round-pick-1.1000692
Raf Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 was kinda hoping sosh would replace komarov next year as the 4th line agitator if the can't/won't resign leo but i guess not in lou we trust.

grimsbylander Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 Ok Matt, you gotta laugh, Phaneuf plays his first game with LA, scores a goal and they LOSE!! Ottawa plays tonight, Gaborik gets a goal and an assist and they WIN!! Moral of the story is...Phaneuf is bad luck lmao

DRIFTER_016 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 Leafs traded Fehr to the Sharks for a 7th round pick in 2020. Hope 2020 is a good draft year. Leafs have 8 picks now. https://www.tsn.ca/leafs-trade-fehr-to-sharks-for-7th-round-pick-1.1005502
leaf4 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Kinda hilarious the reaction to this trade vs the soshnikov one. Everyone on Twitter was like "oh great a 7th rounder for Fehr! You never know what a 7th rounder can bring!!!" Meanwhile after they traded sosh, "are you ****ing kidding me a 4th rounder for soshnikov OMG!!" Fehr scored 3 goals en route to a cup with the penguins, is a veteran player who can be an everyday NHL player.d Soshnikov on the other hand, had upside but was hurt and scored a grand total of 14 points in 70 games... I'd say they did great getting a 4th rounder for him lol

jimmer Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Drafts are always a crap shoot anyways. You get good prospects if you have the right scouts. This is what Fehr needs at his stage of the game, it was the best thing the Leafs could do for the guy.
Headhunter Posted February 21, 2018 Report Posted February 21, 2018 Took the family to Ottawa for Family day weekend. My first visit to Ottawa, we wanted to see the museums. My son was wearing his Maple Leaf coat as we walked the market. Some dude comes up to him and starts giving him a hard time about wearing a Leaf coat. My son is 15, dude didn't see me standing behind him. (I'm 6,3) Dude had obviously been over served so that in my mind is what brought out his pseudo aggression. He was chirping at my son until I walked into the discussion and asked him if he could help to get those 1500 seats over to Toronto as we could use the extra seats the Sens weren't using. He bowed his head and left in shame. My work was done! HH
