The Maple Leafs acquired defenceman Ilya Lyubushkin and the rights to unsigned draft choice Kirill Slepets in a three-team trade with the Ducks and Hurricanes late Thursday night. Mark Masters joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss the trade and share where he thinks Lyubushkin fits in Toronto’s lineup.

"Leaf legend"? Hilaious. Woll won. You beat the Coyotes. Canadian Kool-AId is toxic. F the Leafs Nation member.
Would rather have Dumba
If Canucks‘ GM Allvin isn’t nervous about his own team’s blueline following a 5-1 loss to the LA Kings and multiple recent losses during which the Canucks have allowed at least three goals, he should be. Whether he will make another move before the trade deadline still remains TBD. Hopefully Lyubushkin will work out for the Leafs as much as at best I can only express cautious optimism. In part that is due to his existing contract set to expire in June, and no guarantee he’ll be back after that contract with the Leafs.
low low risk, hopefully high reward!!
hes terrible, analytically one of the worst dmen in the league. And dont even bring up the "he plays for the ducks" arguement. Gudas has excellent underlying numbers, henrique does too
Very important feels a need
Like I said before brad is incapable of making a trade for a big player who will actually impact the team and make them better,he only makes deals for fringe players
most people don't see the talent in you, but I do!
Why are leaf gms always trading picks? All successful playoff teams have great farm systems. Leafs never do hence they aways play with trades and the cap… will never work
I like how he played when he was here….hard on the body
A rough and tough right hand shot stay at home defenseman who is good on the penalty kill is just what the Leafs need more of. Dubas should have never gotten rid of this Russian.
