[KapG]

I should have just kept Ellis back in the day



Nice trade losers

[Sensfanjosh]

Nice deal guys

[kyuss]

didn't Steve draft Dergachyov himself?

[Handsome&FairMike]

Solid

Yes. Unfortunately i was intoxicated Saturday evening and traded him to Billy.

I think Zaitsev could be more valuable the Ellis, but that's probably the Leafs fan in me hoping that will be the case. Steve seems to be doing everything in his power to get players that are expansion draft exempt. I have just came to the conclusion that I will lose one good player and there's nothing I can do about it.

[kimmer]

Or u can do something
By trading with me

Not really. I will still lose a good player.

One of skinner, savard, bjudstad will probably be claimed. This deal does little to protect one of those guys.

[Bruyns]

You have made a lot of moves to acquire expansion exempt guys though.

[Handsome&FairMike]

... doubt you have those 3 players on your team come the end of the year haha.

And Zaitsev is certainly getting some hype. hopefully he pans out for the leafs fan in me.

Yes. Unfortunately i was intoxicated Saturday evening and traded him to Billy.

well it's not like he appears to be a key part of this deal.

I hope for Billy Grant becomes a player

I just want younger players.

Worst case Zaitsev explodes and is amazing.
Win I'm a leaf fan loss for Steve cuase Zaitsev is going to get paid big.
