This is basically a copy and paste from what I said about the Savard trade with some exceptions.
San Jose Sharks:
Traded away a player that should have no trade value and who you might as well place on waivers.
Got a 4th round pick for retaining 1.375 million in salary when the Leafs got only a 5th round pick for retaining 1.1 million on Lehner.
However, Detroit got a 4th pick for retaining just 1.062 million.
A win for San Jose but not as big as the win by Detroit from the Savard trade.
Columbus Blue Jackets:
Got a 1st round pick for the upcoming draft with no lottery protections attached + a 4th round pick for ...
A bottom six forward who is a pending UFA, who has regressed significantly from last year and who is on the wrong side of 30.
And, according to Aaron Portzline of the Athletic, good chance Foligno re-signs with the Jackets in the offseason.
Much bigger win for Columbus.
Toronto Maple Leafs:
Traded away a 1st round pick with no lottery protections + two 4ths for ...
A player that should have no trade value and who you might as well place on waivers ...
And ...
A bottom six forward who is a pending UFA, who has regressed significantly from last year, who is on the wrong side of 30 and who might re-sign with the team that traded him away.
All because Toronto can just barely stay under cap without circumventing it.
Big loss for Toronto.
In Jarmo we trust!
I voted for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
