Don't know how this makes the Leafs better this year. Losing three NHL regulars for Weber and an iffy NHL starter Poehling.
How is Poehling an "iffy NHL starter" He's 20 years old and shows great promise.
I mean lets be honest about this trade. He might be the best piece in it.
Nylander is ower paid. You pull him away from Matthews and that contract looks like a tire fire.
Ceci and Petan are cap dumps.
Kapanen is ok, but nothing to write home about. His go to move of skating fast down the center of the ice to slam the puck into the back boards isn't impressing anyone.
Then on the other side you got Weber, who is OK now, but good luck with that 7.8 mil contract for the next 6 years when you getting it while he's 34.
That's one of the worst contracts in the whole league at this point. They signed that back in the day when the league was stupid enough to sign players till they were 40 years old to massive contracts. What a dumb ass move that was. Why the hell would TOR ever want to take that garbage contract onto a good young team. Hell I'd rather over pay Nylander than bring that soon to be dead weight massive cap hit on board.
