TRADE: We’ve acquired defenceman Emil Andrae, goaltender Samuel Ersson and a third-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for goaltender Joseph Woll and defenceman Simon Benoit
interesting.
there was talk about shipping Woll to the Flyers earlier.
too bad they could not pry Tippett from them.Fine trade, Woll didnt have much value at all, most goalies dont and with Hildeby/Akhtyamov coming…whatever.
Benoit alost zero value.Getting a 3rd for Woll would have been fine, Emil Andrae useful moreso than Benoit. the other goalie who cares just a toss in
Leafs also 5mil cap space
Both Ersson and Andrae are RFAs.
Both also Swedes. Sundin may be the genius behind this one.
Here comes Stenberg.
Chayka has already lost his first trade.
Retarded to trade Woll for a goalie who has never posted a SV% above .900 in the NHL.
Benoit was starting to suck defensively, probably playing too many minutes but he had almost twice as many hits as the next guy on the blueline. And in return, they got a 5’9″ LHD.
Absolutely retarded trade but perfectly in line with Chayka’s inability to make a good trade as per his history in Phoenix.
The Flyers absolutely robbed him blind.

the #1 pick doesnt have to make them an immediate contender, I know you like straw man arguments.
Most #1 picks come to a team thats pretty weak that doesnt have many other good players, and they are expected to be the star immediately. thats not the case here.they dont have thier own 1st in 2027 but they do have a 1st (thanks Mitch).
The Matthews wants to leave stuff has gone cold. It was fluff to begin with. Doing a full rebuild and yes, he would likely want to leave. makes sense. But thats not what is going to happen.
deal with it, or cry moreOh, yes it does. Matthews only has 2 years left. He’s not fucking around anymore. Another year of missed playoffs or 1st round exit and it’s lights out for Matthews.
They have what will be an extremely late 1st round pick that will most likely never replace Marner much less do so in less than 2 years which is what Matthews would give a shit about.
It’s not fluff, it’s reality. A soon to be UFA, wasting his best years on a floundering team is a truth pill you homers don’t want to swallow. The options are to become a contender overnight (extremely unlikely) or grossly overpay Matthews to stay on a shit team and hope he doesn’t care about ever winning a Cup.
they dont have thier own 1st in 2027 but they do have a 1st (thanks Mitch).
That 2027 pick to Philly is top 10 protected according to the NHL.
the 2027 avs pick is also top 10 protected.
going to be interesting to see how this all plays out
