2020-21 Maple Leafs Thread

Great acquisition with Nick Foligno. Exactly the type of player the Leafs need. Well done Dubas!
 
Dubas is making good on his promise to make this team harder to play against. Foligno brings grit and character that should help the playoff run. Beats getting another 5’ 9” in the Nick Petan mode that Dubas used to like to add. Would be nice to see more similar grit added to the defence though.

Word is they are trying to acquire Josh Manson from ANA. It will cost Sandin plus a 2nd I think.

We have a trade to announce:

The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired Nick Foligno & Stephan Nosen.
The Maple Leafs give up a 1st round pick and 2 4th round selections.
It appears that Columbus will retain 50% of Foligno's salary, San Jose will retain 50% of the remaining salary.
The Maple Leafs will be on the hook for 25% of Foligno's remaining salary.

Who's paying the other 25%?

Do you figure Noesen cracks the Leafs lineup?.......I'm thinking he's just spare parts.

No, I don't. I think Noesen's inclusion was to take some money off San Jose's books.
 
I'm ok with Foligno because he's something they don't have, but Rittich for a 3rd? Guys his caliber were going for a 7th or should be available on the waiver wire. They just threw away a relatively high pick for something they already have (Woll, Scott, Vehvilainen). Treliving is a horrible GM and took Dubas to the wood shed on this one.

I'm sure Dubas did look around and this is the best he could do...Rittich is a veteran goalie who is pretty good and giving up a 3rd is reasonable.

It's not likely Woll will be brought back, and VV hasn't played a game since they got him a month ago. Right now, next year looks like Soupy and Rittich, with Hutch, Scott, and maybe VV with the M's. And Scott has only played 2 pro games up to now, so sending him to the Growlers could be the plan.

At the bargain price of a first round draft pick you'll be able to enjoy him on our team for a full two months.

It's all predicated on how close they think they are at real shot.
Honestly, I have no clue given the lack of exposure to the top contenders in the league.
