Makes sense. Glad we picked Gregor over him. I've loved Laffery for quite some time, he just didn't fit in in Toronto. Wish him the best, should be decent under Tocchet.
Why? How is he any better now or have more upside than Studnicka- whom they had to put on waivers? I know the 5th isnt much...but this is just another body they didnt need. Studnicka and Aman have both looked good in preseason, I dont see how the addition of Lafferty is going to help the Nucks at all. Its one thing if they have a bunch of injuries....but outside of Mikheyev unknown status... theyre fine. They already sent down Dries...how is Lafferty any better? Canucks management of assets continues to be horrible.
It's a good trade for the acquiring team as he's a fairly paid player who is physical, good in the dot and can play all three forward positions. But Vancouver seems a truly odd location
Feel like Toronto can easily replace him with a league minimum guy. They got value back as well. W for Toronto
He was good in the dot and physical. The Leafs will not replace him with the same quality. In the end it isn't a big deal as he played in the bottom of the lineup, but it was a loss simply as the gm f***Ed up the cap.
Not really sure why there are so many vancouver votes. They just paid a 5th for a cap dump that was going on waivers lol. At best this is fair value for them

Pumped for Minten season
Now hold on, Gregor hasn't been signed yet. This was to clear up space just because they absolutely needed to
