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
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
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#1 pick doesn’t make the Leafs a contender again nor does it provide the Leafs with a legit cornerstone piece either especially if they waste it on McKenna who only gives the Leafs more of the same style of play that has lost them so many playoff series.
Also, means no 1st in 2027, no 1st in 2028 and one bad move away from Matthews leaving town.
Leafs are worse off as a contender and need to start a full rebuild all because they ran Marner out of town.
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 moreLike most retard Leafs fans, which is why they’re all spewing out of their ass today.
I didnt need to, I wrote my post about mitch shitting the bed in an elimination game a couple hours before the game started, its the most predictable outcome
I didnt watch the game, but this seems sooo Marner
elimination game Mitch!Vegas stats with Mitch Marner on the ice while facing elimination in Game 6 (at 5 on 5):
Offensive zone faceoff %: 80% (!!)
Shots for: 0
Shots against: 8Expected goals: 13.47% (!!)
Goal differential: -2
For hockey casuals, a translation:
Vegas started in the offensive zone 80 PERCENT of the time Marner was on the ice. That’s called “sheltered deployment.”
Despite that, his team literally registered 0 shots on goal in his 14:37 on the ice at even strength.
Numbers this bad are HARD to achieve.
Guess how many other Vegas players weren’t on the ice for a single Vegas shot on goal in Game 6?
That’s right! Zero.
Were any other Vegas players on the ice for all 3 Carolina goals against?
Nope! Just Marner.
where’s the wambulance at!!!?????
so far proven not a winner
The end result with the Leafs getting the #1 pick after not getting Full value for Mitch is as good an outcome as I could have hoped for.
they got Roy which they flipped for 2027 1st and 2026 5th.Mckenna/Stenberg a 1st and 5th out of a wasted season
Mitch went to a better team, had more success but the same results.
MM had 1 assist and was -5 in the last 3 games, pretty on brand for Mitch.this one might sting the most for him. oh well.
on to the DraftBest player available does include more than points, which is why pretty much everyone has Mckenna/Stenberg as very very close.
projecting how well a player will do in the NHL relies heavily one how they score in junior leagues.
If the Leafs want one of the D, they should look at trading for another pick in the top 3-10, not trading down. Also, I very much doubt there is a Schaefer, Makar or Hughes in this draft. they could also be Gudbranson, Larsson, Ryan Murray, Griffin Reinhart, Juolevi
Also the Leafs doing well in the reg season exit in the 1st round included Mitch Marner for 9 consecutive seasons. the second he leaves hes on a team in the finals, its takes more than 1 player. The GM has to build the team.
