So no defense…
Huge move. Instantly a better team, salary retention leaves room to move some players in and out. Absolutely stellar down the middle now.
Stanley Cup contenders
Please lucky to get passed TB
What do you think of the trade? Let us know below!
Aging 3rd line center or 1st line center in his prime having a career year? No way this trade is bigger than the horvat trade. Lol. Except that it's Toronto. But screw Toronto.
leafs bring in another washed up 'saviour'…1st round exit again
