They also had Philippe Paradis at one time as well but traded him in the Versteeg deal.Interesting (to me at least), Toronto has 3 1st Round picks from that draft, Kadri, Holland, & Ashton.

What's so special about Paradis?They also had Philippe Paradis at one time as well but traded him in the Versteeg deal.
He was only relevant in the post because he was a first round draft choice.
Glad to see the trade is benefiting both teams.How about ex Leaf goalie Ben Scrivens, shuts out the Sharks and makes an incredible 59 saves in doing so.

This was my post in November ... Oilers should have had the Leafs on speed dial last summer maybe could have salvaged this season ..Ben Scrivens posts his 3rd should out of the season last night ... He is number 1 in LA for awhile till Quick gets back from injury ... Do you think a team in Alberta could have used this Alberta kid this year ? LA`s pick up of this guy shows why they are where they are and why the Oilers are where they are .
I believe the discussion was not about how good Scrivens is, but that somehow LA picking up Scrivens is an indicator of why they have had playoff success. Does Edmonton`s pick up of the guy show why they are where they are?This was my post in November ...

Wow I got ripped for applauding Scrivens achievements ..
No your post had to do with how come Leaf fans praise their players once they leave ?I believe the discussion was not about how good Scrivens is, but that somehow LA picking up Scrivens is an indicator of why they have had playoff success. Does Edmonton's pick up of the guy show why they are where they are?
Why is it that this type of comment is only made once a player is playing for a team other than the Leafs? Were you complimenting the Leafs last year for having him on their roster?
should have thrown in orr as well.Oilers acquire Fraser from Maple Leafs
Going to miss him. He was a warrior last year, and a huge impact in the playoffs. Was not the same after the injury though. Wish him the best in Edmonton.
They need the toughness, so imagine Dallas Eakins will give him lots of ice time. Not much relief off the cap, but every little bit helps. Especially with word of Bolland possibly being back before the Olympics now.
Going to the Leafs are a pair of forward prospects, Cameron Abney and the rights to Teemu Hartikainen.

see post#1148. we might support different teams, but think along the same lines!Agreed. With the addition of Gleason who is playing solid, Fraser was just going to sit anyway. This way he will see ice time in another conference while Toronto relieves a little more cap space before Bolland comes back, and someone is back to the Marlies. I'd like to see Edmonton give the Bruins a handful on Sat. After the pounding Montreal gave, most expect Boston to take it out on the Oilers.
Its a shame, because I really like watching Orr fight. But again have to agree with you, especially because Orr has such a high salary. I've wondered if he was hurt because he is not hitting, his passing has been terrible, and he seems slower then normal. I don't want to see Toronto part with all their toughness, and would like to see Frazer McLaren stay.
A promising replacement for Orr might be Troy Bodie. He seems to have much better skills, and drive each night. I'm hoping when Bolland returns, Bodie is one who remains with the Leafs.
They could have place Fraser on waivers (which they would have to do to make cap space when Bolland comes back) and got nothing for him.They didn't get much in return for Fraser now did they?
