Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone
Welcome to the treliving era…bad trades
The Ducks and a few other teams that have better waivers position were interested in Lafferty.
Tampa please let Jones clear
Enter Noah Gregor
Basically a poor mans Domi at this point.
Cap dump?
Kind of feels like that old adage: … You have to give something to get something. He’s like a decent knockoff Swiss Army Knife! Vancouver will be able to wiggle him into their lineup; good trade.
Yes, Vancouver could have picked up SL on waivers, but they didn’t because the Canucks management are a bunch of clowns who have no clue about building a great team. This is why Canuck fans will suffer through yet another lack luster season.
Serious question, why does everyone think Martin Jones gets claimed? He's been 0.900 or below the past 5 seasons. He hasn't been good in a long time.
Oh sweet, Vanilla Ice guest hosting this video
I love how this trade was made to free up cap space yet Vancouver keeps making moves that put them more and more over the cap 😂 wtf are they doing?
I know some may not like hearing this but the Leafs are headed downhill. I’m sorry but this lineup is nothing to get excited about. In fact the new GM is just like the old GM. We’ll keep the top four overrated overhyped talent and just replace the surrounding cast around them with other crappy minor league players. It unreal that the Sens and Habs are catching up to the Leafs after drafting properly and making the right organization moves. All while the leafs are heading downhill. But wait the leafs have another saviour Fraser Minten who did okay in preseason where hockey and nothing matters. Look at the defence and what have the leafs drafted that makes you excited about the future. Oh darn the topic was about the Sam Lafferty trade sorry for going off topic here. I personally think the leafs lost their toughest player on the team. During the playoffs who was the only leaf player with a set of balls that was gonna to knock the F out of Gudas after he was taking cheapshots against his teammates. Your reward for that is getting traded to the Canucks.
He was never going to hit waivers, Mirtle reported multiple teams were in on him and Canucks had the best offer. But he was still getting moved before having to place him on waivers.
Now domi can switch to 28 like papi
going to call it now leafs don't get out the first round this year. Did nothing to address the goaltending or the defence added a bunch of forwards, now trading guys with experience to play rookies who will gas out after the all star break, clearly a recipe for a early summer. Mark my words.
It’s a mistake putting Martin Jones on waivers in my opinion!
Canadian thanksgiving is not thanksgiving and im tired of pretending it is
happy (real) thanksgiving!
Nice haircut Steve lookin good
Would vancouver have given up the 5th for Lafferty to save their place in the waiver order for a bigger fish that they're eyeing that might get waived
if the league gets that 3.5-4.5 million increase next year i imagine the 1.15 million just sweetens the pot they can use to bolster negotiations with their current stars on top of a good chunk of that cap increase
How much you want to bet the Canucks give Lafferty around $5 M AAV for his next contract?😂
They just can't help themselves.
Happy thanksgiving Steve to you and your family from ours in Medicine Hat Alberta! (Just down the road from Kurtis the basement guy) lol I think Gregor makes the team. 👍😎
a 5th round pick…thats like number 160 in the draft….wtf?? dont know if i like this …
treliving better know what he is doing
Canucks have lots of bottom 6 guys who didn't show improvement from last year. They did this for his right shot and sandpaper. Leafs capitalized on a desperate team.
The saying is actually "a jack of all trades, a master of none, still better than a master of one."
I readed a trade rumor that leafs send Timothy Lijegren and Calle Järnkrok and 1st round pick in 2024 and 3rd round pick in 2024 and 5th round pick in 2024 that leafs just got from Canucks and prospect player nick Robinson or Ty Volt to the sharks for Mario Ferraro at 1.75m for 2 years and the sharks eat 500k of the contract and Logan Courture 35% cap hit for leafs would getting Logan at 2.8m for 4 years and sharks eat 5.2m or other team maybe in the trade, the team that maybe in the trade could be the Blue Jackets might take some of Logan Courture cap hit and TJ Borde to Blue Jackets for Andrew Peeke and ?. If true or not we will see?
Not me crying a little on the inside hearing Steve go, “Capitals. Wow they were really bad last year.”
Wouldn't it be cool if Max Demi skated onto the ice this Wednesday wearing the number 28 on his back now that it's available.
Hey look, it‘s Forrest Gump!😮 Why did they leaf the hockey part out of the movie? 😢
Enjoy your turkey with reddish… Lime Drew likes it 😂
