youre correct

Not thrilled about giving up a 1st either, but Foligno is a good add.

Delete this ASAP, you’re embarrassing yourself

shut up nerd

Could you be more specific?

The confusing thing is how the leafs keep getting pushed around come playoff time but when the make a trade for some size and physicality with some grit they get mad that they gave up to much.

Is it too much? Sure, but the leafs have a real opportunity here to do some damage in the playoffs. They play canadian teams for the first two rounds, and then you’re in the semis. The draft is weak and very uncertain and if you win a round or two(which your odds are much higher after the trade) the pick becomes very low.
And even if that player Becomes a good nhler you still went for the cup.

Coming from someone who watched his team have good seasons but never get the piece or pieces to make them champions, you should be happy

I played the game son. Foligno is exactly what they need.

I see people arguing that Foligno isn't worth a 1st but Hall is which has me lost. A first unfortunately is the price to contend. You saw Tampa pay heavily for Goodrow and Coleman last year, everyone was saying they were overpaying, but it worked out for them.

With how weak the draft is, how weak the north is (Leafs look like favourites to come out of the North), how tough it is to find good players late in the first round, and how well the leafs have drafted in later rounds recently, I cant really complain about the trade.

I don't doubt his value as a player, I question the assets they gave up to get him

That’s correct. They’re pick is almost a second anyways because it’s so late. This is a home run

yeah but a 1st rounder for a rental who has 16 points in 42 games is a lot to give up

Okay well said. I've just seen this team in the past give up great players and picks for older rentals and have it really backfire (Owen Nolan for Brad Boyes for example).
