ParticipantPoone Jenner incoming
Did he get his Swedish citizenship?

Participantits not always about the size, Jackson Blake and Stankoven are the same.
but swapping pylon Benoit for a puck mover makes sense. he is a 5/6, thats fine.and I like Simon Benoit but he is a net negative on the ice.
this should be a win for the rebuild crowd, get another pick in 2026
Again, bottom pair small D don’t usually work out as well as forwards because of the punishment D-men have to absorb and dish out in the playoffs. Being physically small in the NHL is far more of a negative than it ever is a positive.
A 3rd doesn’t move the needle for a rebuild. It’s a shot in the dark with Chayka’s shit draft record. They need to pile up 1st round picks for any kind of rebuild to occur.
They are also both RFAs so the “cap space” idea is out the window if these guys eat up most of the money that went out the door. And it’s doubtful they just let them walk either.

ParticipantHill still has 5 years left @6.25M cap hit.
what was the deal with Hill not playing?
Does he need to call Williams Mattar?He was hurt for half the year and sucked the other half. Torts probably got fired today because he refused to switch Hart for Hill in the Final but Hill’s numbers last year were bad.
It’s a huge contract that Vegas needs to dump so while the 1st wouldn’t be for a while, they could always try to move other pieces that are as valuable as a 1st without giving up a 1st.

ParticipantHutson is 5’9″ and he did well the this year’s playoff run with the Habs.
That only works in extremely rare circumstances. You can probably count on one hand how many 5’9″ D-men there are in the NHL and there is a very good reason for that. Hutson is only effective because he’s an offensive wizard. He makes a lot of defensive mistakes too but his offensive game usually makes up for it. But as a bottom pair D, being 5’9″ is a gift to the opposition when the games get tough.

ParticipantErsson is not in the plans im sure, AHL or not signed.
Stolarz/Hildeby/Akhtyamov are the Goalies.Woll at least had some trade value, so he goes.
Cap space means a lot when they can use to take a bad contract with a pickHildeby and Akhtyamov are completely unproven in the NHL over a full season. That’s the type of gamble that gifts the Bruins a top 5 pick with Stolarz as the only other option.
We will see if they take bad contracts for 1st round picks. If they acquire Adin Hill, they’d be killing two birds with one stone.

ParticipantBenny was clutch in the playoffs, cheap and physical
More upset about him than WollnutsThat was always the problem with Benoit. He hits and fights, which you love to see, but his ability to actually prevent goals was bad and he had no offensive ability whatsoever.
But replacing him with a soft 5’9″ LHD will make teams like the Panthers and Bruins laugh when they’re crushing him into the boards on playoff dump-ins.
Woll was the best goalie the Leafs had in their system. They’re not going to make the playoffs with shit goaltending.

ParticipantFine 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
Terrible trade. Woll is injury prone but when he’s healthy, he’s better than Ersson who lost his job to Vladar because he’s never been a good starter. Stolarz is always hurt too and should have been the one to go. He has far less potential than Woll.
Cap space means nothing with no quality players to sign. The few UFAs out there won’t want to play on a bottom feeder like the Leafs unless they are grossly overpaid.
Unholy_Goalie
ParticipantBoth Ersson and Andrae are RFAs.
Both also Swedes. Sundin may be the genius behind this one.
Here comes Stenberg.

ParticipantUG in here raging and trying to cope through his tears is uber funny. Now the narrative is Vegas lost because of everyone else except Marner? GTFOH you retard – your little pink pony club princess Marner ghosted in games 5-7 like usual.
Keep bragging about how many points he got total while skipping past the fact he racked up more than half his playoff point in like 4 games you absolute cuckservative clown.
Leafs have one down year and your retarded window likcking ass is convinced it’s due to Marner leaving, again blasting past injuries to key players most of the year, Matthews playing hurt all season etc.
Fuck you’re retarded.
1st to last without Marner. Marner did what the Leafs haven’t done since 1967; went to a Cup Final and led the playoffs in scoring.
The only major injury Matthews had before he hurt his knee was playing without Marner.
Cope harder Libtard Ranger.

ParticipantChayka 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.
