BREAKING: Leafs make HUGE Trade… Leafs Acquire Ilya Lyubushkin from Ducks | Maple Leafs News

We have some breaking news to discuss today as the Toronto map Leafs have made a trade acquiring ilushin from the Anaheim Ducks and this trade is an interesting one it may not be the name that a lot of Leafs fans wanted to hear coming to Toronto but there is some

Positives and some interesting cap maneuvering done by multiple teams in this trade so we’re going to break all that down to much more in this episode of Leaf’s digest as they did just win a game four to2 as well but before we get into it a quick reminder that this video

Is actually sponsored by rentals.ca and if you’re unfamiliar with rentals.ca the AR Canada’s largest apartment hunting Network and the leas fans have wanted moves for a while Darius we battled through injuries throughout the whole year and they finally made a move fans were calling for Brad for living and make some

They just made a a pretty big I mean depending how you categorize this move is is up to you but you know it’s a Toronto Maple Leafs move so let’s just categorize it as big and it literally just happened 5 minutes ago and stuff is still developing about this we’ll have

Another video about it tomorrow discussing some more in-depth details this is more so a reaction so this is from Elliot uh Freedman here again more so reaction so the bushkin will go to Toronto with 75% retained the Ducks get a third hurricanes get a sixth so I

There’s a lot going on here but with I’m just going to get your opinion on it uh Darius it’s very interesting you can see from Darren drer Carolina would receive a draft pick for the retention here in 25% again not done and details are still being finalized but at this point it

Seems pretty much done as Elliot Freeman said he is going to Toronto so Darius what are your thoughts on this what are your thoughts on what we given up but you can kind of outline the trade a bit more simply for for the fans here if you

Want but uh because there’s a lot of stuff going on but from what we’re hearing from OT Elliot fredman and we kind of had a feeling this was going to be coming after the game darus we were texting about it off camera after the Leaf’s big win against the Cody’s that

Stuff was brewing he was pulled from the starting lineup and the Leaf’s got it done very quickly maybe because Mark gardano is was down yeah I think it has to do with well there’s two things at play Tan’s gone right he went to Dallas so he’s out of the picture so we were

Saying yesterday that Brad living has to Pivot very quickly and now jodano has a head injury now they don’t know the extent of it but if you ask me a head injury does not sound good so he might be a long term and the leaf we we’ve

Been talking about it they need a guy who sh shoots right and leushin does that now in terms of on Ice product the leaf fans you know we are uh familiar with this player he came to the Leafs at the deadline two years ago played the playoffs against Tampa Bay in that first

Series that the leaf played against Tampa Bay and in his previous stint with the Maple Leafs he played 31 games he had six points and he was a plus four so not too bad that was two years ago this year we’ll get into his stats as well uh

Not the greatest season with Anaheim Ducks but the Anaheim Ducks are not a great team he has four points four assists in 55 games but again he’s not a guy who’s going to put up a lot of points for you uh I wouldn’t look for that but he’s a right shot defenseman

Which they need could be a defense partner for Morgan riy moving forward here again cuz uh I think they were paired two years ago on the same pairing in the playoffs so that’s a good thing as well if it works out this time around and then in terms of the money this is

Great for the Leafs I’m not a huge fan of giving up the third round pick again this is just a reaction I might feel differently when I wake up in the morning but the third round pick going out is not great I would lik to see a

Lower round pick go out for a player like this because they could use a third rounder to get maybe a better uh defenseman and in saying that they can make other moves now because of the fact that there was 50% retained and then there’s another 25% retained from uh

Carolina he’s making less than league minimum right now they can go out and make another move for sure they can possibly make another two moves right so um this is a good trade we’ve been joking about it they just need a guy who shoots right-handed this is a guy who

Shoots right-handed uh and he’s a physical presence which they will need in the playoffs we’ll just have to see where he slots in no more six left shot defenseman like we saw the other night but I mean that’s the big thing here is we’ve been clambering for it they got a

Left-handed or a right-handed sorry shot defenseman and you look at J Fresh’s chart very bad all R aside from teammates which I don’t even know what that means but the big thing here is that we got someone and again it’s hard to obviously the advanced analytics

Aren’t great on him but it’s hard to kind of categorize this when they’re playing for the Anaheim Ducks who are terrible the good thing is there’s some familiarity here and you mentioned it with the retained this means at least to me that I mean they’re doing this on

Purpose they’re going to make another move and again we’ll probably have a video covering that tomorrow especially once we get some more information but again looking at his stats Four Points 55 games there’s some familiarity there with the Toronto Maple and I mean they

Tend to maybe not I me not with Brad TR living necessarily but with the team in general the front office and some of the you know the coach Sheldon Keef knows how to use him and he’s coming off of an okay season with the Sabers where he put

Up 14 points at 68 games he’s 29 years old he’s not the most exciting player yes giving up a third and a sixth I believe the sixth is going from the Leafs as well maybe I’m not 100% sure we don’t know the yeah we don’t know the

Full details yet I think it could be from the Ducks I’m not sure because there there’s salary all over the place okay yeah so either way we still are kind of developing here but at the very least let’s just say it’s a third and maybe a sixth for laush it’s probably

Just a third um they still have their first round pick maybe they go all in and trade that for I mean I keep bring up Noah Hanan who knows if they’re actually going to get a deal done with him probably not because the Flames do

Not want to deal with the map Leafs it seems but Darius I don’t mind this the money stuff makes it interesting they needed a defenseman J orano went down we have all these guys who are you know LR in and out of the lineup with injuries obviously the whole kingberg situation

Like you saw in the rentals ad there on the graphic he he didn’t work out obviously that’s way far gone now I’m just excited that the Toronto Maple’s made a move like we’ll probably have a more uh maybe a different feeling about this trade tomorrow but I think from a

Objective standpoint it makes hockey sense for this team because they needed a right-handed shot defenseman very very badly even though Lush there could be worse there well maybe depending on how you view him well it depends how you look at it yeah exactly but uh there

Could be better too and and better could be on the horizon because of this trade right like if they win the Stanley Cup none of us are talking about this nobody cares right uh the third round pick does hurt and it’s going to hurt tomorrow I

Know people are going to be like that was a little bit too much to give up but again the retain salary almost makes it worth it because now you can go out and get another guy right uh and hopefully it’s another right shot guy Adam larsson’s been thrown out there there’s

There’s a a bunch of names that’s been thrown out I don’t know if Seattle wants to move on for him but even um borgan from the Seattle Kraken as well that could be another guy that you look at they need I think one more right shot defenseman if they could get like three

Right shot defensemen three left shot defenseman figure figure out the pairings in there I think they’ll be golden leushin like I said uh they went to a game seven against Tampa and they lost by one goal with this guy in the lineup playing with Morgan Riley so I I

Think the the fun thing to do right now is to dump on him and obviously his Advanced stats look terrible but again he’s a defensive defenseman on an Anaheim Ducks team that is terrible you have to look at it objectively right so we’ll see what he does with the Leafs he

Wasn’t too bad with the Leafs the first time around for what he is so uh we’ll just have to see what he does I think Brad TR living is just playing with what he can at this time can’t make big moves they want to hang on to the first unless

It’s something worthwhile and I don’t know if that’s come up yet so it’s going to be interesting to uh keep an eye on but this for me is exciting because okay they made a move they’re making a move in the right direction and they can make

More yes they can make more moves so it’s exciting in that way one quick thing before we wrap up the video DARS who do you or where do you think he he slides in obviously mentioned a little bit maybe with Morgan riy and who do you

Think if anyone has to go down out of the the defensive line maybe they won’t have to do anything with that depending on injuries and jedan all that but do you have any quick thoughts on that before we wrap up we’ll probably have more on that tomorrow we just want to

Throw that in there for the people uh it could change a lot in the next couple days jaran’s out now so that’s like we don’t know how long that’s going to be we don’t know if they’re going to trade for another defenseman in my eyes McCabe and benois can’t really be split up

They’ve been fantastic yeah Ben exactly uh I would not split those two up I could see him slotting in with Riley because him and Riley uh sorry Riley and uh Brody have not been working together I don’t know what anybody’s saying I don’t know what uh ke is thinking as well they’re not

Working so I could see him sliding in with Riley and then Brody going with lillig grin once he once he comes back uh I think that’s ideal for the time being but I think they’re going to make another move here I I tend to agree and

We will have you covered for all of that coming up in uh all the videos coming up because there’s going to be a lot of them and I suspect more trades are on the horizon that will wrap up the video If you enjoyed it make sure to hit the

  1. I personally don't how many points he gets. I care about his plus/minus. We need a guy that stops the opposition from getting scoring chances.

  2. Toronto had Lyubushkin before and I didnt know why they didnt keep him. different GM now so in some ways I guess it makes a bit of sense to bring him back. he is decent, gives us depth and we didnt give up any current roster players.

  3. he was the ONLY D man who cleared the net (until we got schenn) and was a grenade waiting to explode when he went for a hit. BUT… puck movement, nope.

  4. We could use another RHD and a big winger to replace Robertson. I like him but he’s too small and we need more grinders. Larrson is good but 4 million is a little too much. Maybe with retention or if we move someone else.

  5. Idk why i’m seeing so much hate on this rn imo great move wish they kept him when they originally had him. Still need to add more with out a doubt but boosh back is great for physicality.

  6. They need to keep McCabe Benoit together
    Get rid of brodie and put lybushkin with liljgren
    Get Larsson , carrier or savard for reilly

  7. I knew they weren't going to overpay for Tanev and instead would get defensive minded but less expensive D like they've done in previous years. They could have used Luke Schenn this year and also Jake Muzzin and they'd have a pretty good physical D with skill players mixed in

  8. The guy you didn't want becomes the guy you pin your hopes on ….. and Leaf's Nation can't figure out why they can't win…. Seriously?

  9. Really? This is a HUGE trade? If this is a huge trade then you have no clue what a huge trade is ,,, a #5 D in a good D core but with the leafs he will be playing # 2 ,,, I hope they have something else coming on that D core , it’s just not good enough!I see early exit AGAIN

  10. From a rumor that Atlantic division team linked to Mario Ferraro and sharks only retained 50% on Ferraro and 2 time cup champ RD Jan Rutta and F Luke Kunin and from rumor that Atlantic division team pushing hard to get a deal done and other team maybe involved to retained cap hit on Jan Rutta or Luke Kunin. Which team is a question mark could be leafs or Panthers or lightning or Red wings from the rumor and sharks are not open shopping Mario Ferraro from insider but could listen to offers for him and from rumor that Sharks still listening and in rumor that Atlantic division team may have made offer and has got the sharks interest and in rumor that 1st and 3th and other parts in play.

  11. Toronto has some of the best forwards on the planet. We don't need any more Rielly's, Barrie's, Kaberle's. We need guys to keep the front of the net clear, get the puck out, and lay the body.

  12. "Huge" cats? Why I autta!!!! ")
    I dig you kids and the channel but I suspect your girlfriends have been seriously disappointed!! LOL|! Kidding! I kid the cats!!!

    Now Matthews was HUGE that was legitimately YUGE! Lyubushkin…"huge" meh…I just can't get there blokes.

    Seriously though I do firmly believe another move, one which may even be considered '"solid" is coming!! Lyubushkin is a stop gap pick up, you can't have Marner on D kids! What we need to take away from this quick deal and especially how it's structured, we're seeing how a competent NHL GM operates compared to that…other guy. ..yuk.

    Having said that, i don't think it's fair to judge Lyubushkin based on his stats with a pretty sad team. And look what the other guy, "Cap'n Crapin Stinky Fish" AKA Dubas paid for him.
    Also, look at Benoit's stats from the same team compared to his Leafs stats.
