Plekanec and Kyle Baum to the Leafs in exchange for Kerby Rychel, Rinat Valiev and a 2nd.


I like it. Better 4C than Moore, and Rychel and Valiev are nothing, but could get a shot with a Montreal team that will sell fast.

And 50% salary retained on Plek. As most predicted, Plekanec with salary retained would get a 2nd.

Yeah I guess it's better then the 3 rd people thought he would get. Rychel and vailev are really nothing special but baun is worse then both.

Yup. Rychel could be something for you guys. He just has an anger problem. he demands to play, but isn't like a 2nd liner. He could become something though, he does have talent.

Valiev is nothing tho. Legit nothing. he was #6 on the Marlies d chart.

Baun also looks like nothing, but could be decent depth for the Marlies.

Habs may have taken a lesser deal since Plekanec didn’t want to go to a west team. He may be back with the team next season.

What do you mean @balsam? Lol.

Valiev always was bad. Like not bad, but he was never good. He was just meh. Never going to be an nhler.

And Rychel was decent, just had issues and Toronto is STACKED on the wings.

You’re a tool balsam. You group all leaf fans together once again. One leaf fan said that “Valiev is nothing” but actually stated that “Rychel could be something for you guys. ” Get your facts straight and try keeping your head out of your ass when you comment. You’re always negative towards the leafs. At least Plekanec can enjoy the playoffs.

Valiev is depth D at best. Rychel May get it together and be a bottom 6 forward but far from a sure thing. Baun is leafs great Bobby Bauns grandson, so they probably had nothing much of value to choose from and so went for a good story connection and hometown kid instead of just another random minor leaguer. Also this trade is 3 for 2 and habs retaining 50% which means leafs have 3.4 mill in cap space and 2 free contract spots now (after soshnikov trade) for more moves if they want. Plek wasn’t my top choice, but I like the deal overall.

Typical response leafs17. Whenever some one doesn't agree with you, you resort to name calling.

The build up for your players is only exceeded by the bashing one they are gone.
