Leaf Rumours

[Matrim]

Gleason isn't far removed from being a very solid top 4 dman. He had a concussion early in the season and has taken some time to come back. It's not like Liles is playing nor will be given the chance. As long as the prospect isn't anyone like HL said then I'm fine with this.

 

[Metalleaf]

Well he's better than Fraser and gives us a vet stay at home guy, replaces Ranger in our 6.

 

[JackBurton]

So Leafs take a crappier d-man with a worse contract AND give a prospect?

Like the McCabe trade.

CAR and TOR trying to get Tim Gleason trade call with league done in next 20 minutes

Pretty much done sounds like.

Pending call. Gleason to Toronto for Liles and Robertson (d-man).

 

[Metalleaf]

Like I said no one important.

 

[Killer93]

Liles and Robertson for Gleason

 

[JackBurton]

Good. I've barely heard of him.

 

[hockeylover]

Worth a shot I guess. We'll see.

 

[hockeylover]

+ a 6th round pick apparently going to Carolina.

 

[JackBurton]

How many years does Gleason have on his deal?

 

[hockeylover]

Two more years...

 

[Matrim]

How many years does Gleason have on his deal?

Same as Liles, another 2 after this season.

 

[JackBurton]

Ugh. I was hoping 1.

 

[Habsy]

Gleason brings more jam than Liles but I don't see why this trade is needed for the Leafs.

 

[JackBurton]

I was hoping if Liles moved, it was for some cap relief.

 

[trujaysfan]

It's not Toronto without having 1 overpaid immobile 6th defencemen

 

[hockeylover]

Must suck missing the Winter Classic by a day.

 

[Feyd]

Must suck missing the Winter Classic by a day.

Better than the other way around I would reckon. Imagine being traded the day before you were slated to play in it?

 

[Deckie007]

Meh.
