Why would Leafs give away a first round pick?
I would not do that if I was Leafs GM.

toronto tax is real

So they’re throwing away draft picks like throwing away hockey pucks. Great 🙄🤦‍♀️

nope , but theyre expected to pay more by certain GMs, i.e zadorov

Dont think those pieces are enough for PHI. PHI doesn;t really want another UFA dman, and while Brodie has value with retention, PHI already has 3 UFA dmen they want to deal and just 2 retention spots. Robertson has produced so far, but has a horrible history and even with his 6 pts in 11 games, has just 13 pts in 42 games so far in his injury riddled career, and PHI is very deep with wing prospects and youngsters

I dont know if you get Laughton for that deal.

I know that some see Risto as a cap dump, but PHI retaining for 4 yrs?

Leafs decline Philly we want no part of that risto contract Laughton is nice but not with bringing in risto too

leafs are interested in risto, hes also been good in philly, really good defensively

I’ll believe it when I see it they also said leafs were interested in Barrie, im sure they’re checking up on every defender available

To be fair, hes been solid. He went from being a puck rushing number 1 in Buffalo, to a stay at home/crease clearer on the second pair and hes been alright. He is very physical and hits everything within reach, but hes probably more of a 4mil defender than 5mil.

Lol Toronto wasn't expected to play more for Zadorov. That was the deal for him. The rumors are that Vancouver actually maybe paid a bit more because of the division, but it's hard to tell. That must have been balanced with the no retention.

All that is fine. Good luck with any team that forechecks in the playoffs and that 2nd pair. Toronto tried that with McCabe-Brodie.
