Great cheap signing for elliott (?one way I assume) and solid deal for the leafs. Grabner is definitely gonna put up some solid numbers Chuck (aside from +/- )

I think the isle killed that deal.

[Handsome&FairMike]

Iles improved depth - leafs have a bunch of prospects ahead of those sent... maybe you get a 6th/7th dman or a 4th line forward out of it.
I think iles did well getting that back... but Grabner is easily the best piece and the contract space is not insignificant.

[The BBKL Insider]

wth, nick still believes in Finn? that guy is garbage

[anton]

i have serious doubts finn is ever an NHLer.

posted this a few days ago after the prospect tournament. he's just not good.

and considering he's probably the most "attractive" piece going to the isles, the leafs did just fine.

agreed

good deal for the leafs.

[kimmer]

Beck is the most attractive piece

[Florida Chris]

Another nice deal for Toronto. Not sure if any of those prospects become regulars. Grabner is a regular. I bet they resign him to a decent 3-4 yr deal, and he becomes a decent 3rd liner who can move up or down if needed. or they may trade him, later for 1 single prospect who does have a good chance of playing in the NHL.

I guess leafs MGMT agrees that Finn is a waste of space, but is Carter as well? and tom? and Gibson?

I see zero upside for the leafs... long term best case is Grabner scores a bunch and we flip him for a 2nd rounder?

Pure hockey deal
Cap space for contract space
Competition is gonna be tough for a bad team

isn't a hockey deal one that is more player for player rather than one side dumping cap and the other dumping contracts?

Bernier with Islanders - 750k

So Isles dumped Grabner's salary to replace him with the must cheaper Bernier, nice.

Elliott is 2-way btw

i mean it's pretty obvious what the upside is...the upside is you now have room to sign your PTO's glencross, setoguchi, boyes, fraser and flip them for picks.

the potential value we get for those guys - actual NHL players - at the deadline far outweighs mediocre prospects.

[kimmer]

Lol I gave u bernier

[The BBKL Insider]

anton is like the only guy who gets it

[kimmer]

Then whys he out of a job in bbkl???!

[Matthew]

Anton will prob go due his rounds in adhl or pbhl and prove he's still got it and hasn't become too out of date for the modern bbkl, and if he does well, will likely get a call from one of the bbkl franchises looking for that experienced hand in a year or two.

Arizona carrying 3 nhl goalies at the moment?

[Matthew]

peanut butter hockey league

That's what always comes to my mind. Only reason I remembered the shortened name is cuz I thought of peanu butter. It's a league for men with small nuts.
