That's a rather nice package for the 12th forward on the flyers.

53pts and 27yrs old, is what made me do it....

Based on what exactly? Leino is 6th on the team in TOI/G, 36 seconds behind Hartnell for 5th, and the 5th most productive player on the Flyers (53 points). By no definition is that a 12th forward...Love him or hate him, Ville Leino is a key fixture on the Flyers top 6.

Chris did very well in this deal, he traded middling picks in a weak draft for a proven asset.

You would have been foolish to turn it down, IMO. The market for 2011 picks isn't great enough to justify passing on a proven top 6 forward like Ville Leino.

I thought it was a good deal, I did also early 2nd back too...Good all around deal

[KapG]

Thinking on it a bit and I've decided it's probably a win win trade for both sides.

Good job peeps

Leino is also a UFA and won't be on Philly next year..

He could sign with the Islanders and line up beside Tavares.

[Robin Hood]

anyone who thinks chris lost is insane lol. I have my reasons for making the deal but he did very well.
