Hall just burning every bridge that is.

 

[Preston]

Vrana puts up some serious points playing third line minutes.

 

[zeke]

Kind of like casting Bill Paxton or Bill Pullman

I will not tolerate this Bill Paxton slander.

 

[Preston]

Yeah Leafs had to get Foligno if that's the case. No one else really interested me out there and they needed a winger.

 

[Killer93]

Man Hall really fucked over the Sabres. They could have had a first plus a prospect for Hall but he limited them to Boston

 

[zeke]

Suomela seems to actually be a center so that's a good swap.

Can i still shit on Bill Pullman?

a full MNC is a weird thing to hand out on a year deal

The follow-up tweet has a little more context:



Did it “get to that point” after other desirable locations (like the Leafs) indicated they weren’t interested? Or was it “Boston or bust” right from the start?

Anyway, it is what it is at this point. Fuck Hall. Hopefully he gets held off the scoresheet in a first round sweep of the Bruins, and the Bergeron/Marchand era happens to finally collapse into flaming ruins at the exact moment they pick up Hall.

And then hopefully, even as much as I hate the move, Nick Foligno becomes one of the all-time deadline pick-ups by making a tangible contribution to the Leafs finally ending their Cup drought.

Well looks like the leafs don't have to worry about capspace anymore and can freely move guys on and off the roster now.

A lot of rest incoming for Spezza, Thornton & Simmonds, and opportunities for the young guys to get playing time.

Probably the same thing on the back-end too. I’d think they’ll want Sandin, Lilly and probably Hutton to all get into some games down the stretch.

This summer’s $700K signing by the Leafs?

 

[Killer93]

BTW, Caps got destroyed in that Wings trade. Vrana > Mantha

Yeah, I'm not convinced at all that Vrana isn't better than Mantha straight up, or that his next contract won't be cheaper than Mantha's extension, while being better than Mantha.

Throw in the picks and this is a wipe out.

Caps are great at this sort of thing.

not sure if serious
but if serious

BAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

yeah...the Sabres had leverage as well.
