Quoting: RipNasty
That is absolutely the smallest issue here lol. It's a ridiculous trade for TO. 2 1sts for a bunch of stuff no one needs or wants.
Leafs needs: third line centre, NHL capable right D, and since Samsonov's meltdown the past few weeks, a dependable starter. If the Leafs dont upgrade their goaltending, they should be ready to write off another year's playoffs in the Auston-Mitch-Willie era. Samsonov is looking like Jack Campbell 2.0 - capable of playing himself right off the roster, and injury prone even when he is playing OK. Woll is better but very injury prone. Allen is an upgrade over Jones.
A starting goalie at an average salary, good for two playoff runs, is worth a late round first, a fringe NHL player, and a middling prospect. Same for a right D under contract for two seasons. A third line centre on an expiring contract is worth slightly less than the others, but for the sake of taking Samsonov's contract, you probably need to give up a middle six forward like Domi, who might also be flipped at the deadline by Montreal.
