The 2014-2015 NHL Season (Dress Code STRICTLY Enforced)

[Hewey]

Leaf fans, worry no longer! Winnick will no longer steal us any games! For, he has been traded to the Penguins for a 2nd in 2016, a 4th in 2015 and our new tank commander, Sill!

I think a 2nd is a bit much, alot of Pens fans aren't too happy about that. Just saw that Toronto is retaining half his salary too.

A 2nd is just right for a middle 6 player. What you get is a super solid player, defensively responsible (was one of the better Leaf PKers), can put up some points and was somehow a +13 or 14 on a shitty Leafs team. you're gonna like him.

[Pizza]

Pens fans are silly then. The odds of getting a better player than Daniel Winnik with a second round pick aren't great. Of every second rounder picked in 2004, his draft year, 60% (21 of 35) played less than 22 games (I chose that number because that's how many games are left). Only 8 of 35 are on the same level or better than Winnik. The Crosby/Malkin window isn't going to stay open forever. A solid depth pickup is absolutely worth a pick that might turn into a Blake Comeau level player by the time Crosby is 35.

[Hewey]

I agree that Pittsburgh needs to do whatever they can to win now, I haven't watched many Leafs games this year, so don't know much about him. But if it helps our bottom six, I'm happy.

Just seems like alot of Pittsburgh fans aren't happy about giving up a pick.

[caucasianheat]

I suspect Pens fans will like Winnik as a slightly-less-talented Dupuis. Pittsburgh has no cap space but with this trade, they get an elite depth forward and don't have to add any more salary than they had before.

[Plubby]

I miss Daniel Winnik, so i'm sure Pens fans will grow to love him.

OTOH sometimes your second round pick turns into Paul Stastny or Ryan O'Reilly.

[Toe]

Yeah, second round is a decent return. The fourth is cake.

Sill doesn't sound like much of a prospect, was probably added in to balance contracts.

2nd round picks are decent bets, but a win now team shouldn't be scared to trade them for the right guy. They usually amount to nothing, once in a while you get a decent hand, occasionally you win the lottery. Like in 2007, where only 6 2nd rounders are still active, but one of those is PK Subban. If Pittsburgh's pick turns into PK Subban then they can get mad. But by trading him to Toronto, they've ensured that it wont .

Not a prospect at all. He's almost 27 and is nothing more than a 4th line energy guy.

HOLY SHIT! THE LEAFS MANAGED TO TRADE DAVID CLARKSON! AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN GIVE UP ANYTHING TO GET RID OF HIM!!!!

DAVID CLARKSON FOR NATHAN HORTON. HOLY BALLS

[Pizza]

Clarksons gone!

For Nathan Hortons same length and money contract. I don't know if it's as restricted as Clarksons but he may be able to be put on LTIR next year. I miss Capgeek.

[Hewey]

Jagr to Florida, lets just hope Florida doesn't play Pittsburgh in the playoffs.

Horton may never play another game. He's gonna go on LTIR just like Pronger and Savard.

[Pizza]

Yeah, this was an amazing trade.

[Draevyn]

I'm not sure I understand why Florida would do the Jagr trade but I guess maybe they were looking for more of a veteran presence.

[Ruki]

I'm not sure I understand why Florida would do the Jagr trade but I guess maybe they were looking for more of a veteran presence.

Apparently they are close to a wildcard spot. Maybe they wanna block Boston from getting in.

[Draevyn]

I'm not sure Jagr provides them with the pieces they need to make it though, but I guess he has a better chance than draft picks.

[Toe]

I'm going to miss Clarkson falling all over the ice and turning the puck over.

[Plubby]

Now you have a decision to make. The coach is gone, Clarkson is gone. There's only Phaneuf and Kessel left to blame

[Toe]

They now blame William Nylander. He hasn't even scored an NHL goal yet!
