Nuxfanabroad Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Don't SHOOT the messenger. I merely saw this on HFboards, having been rumoured... Sbisa to TO, for (drum roll)... Loopy. They've got 3 2nd's next draft. What if they gave us one of them? Lupul's got 2 more yrs remaining, at a LOVELY 5.25 mill cap-hit. Clarkson-ish bargain! He's always LTIR anyways, so it's like acquiring Bolland, or somethin. The guy can spend his months here, trying to explain his chicken wing to Hanky. Wonderful existence. Don't know about this one?..would probably take the 2nd to pick up the phone. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Isn't Lupul healthy now or at least will be healthy at the start of the season... Anyways, Lupul did some pretty good things a couple years back so I wouldn't mind taking a stab at a low risk venture like that especially if it means that we can pick up a 2nd rounder and a prospect as well.

Fanuck Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Loopy with 50% retained by the Laffs plus their 2nd (their highest one ) for Sbisa and I still say they win that deal. Imo Sbisa is underrated and gets a bad rap here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Sbisa is underrated and gets a bad rap here. AS am I. plays sound in his own end, believe he was a +5, not bad considering he was forced to play above his game. Maybe someday but not yet is he top. Now that being said i would trade him if it was a trade that really helps i would like to see a bottom 6 of him and subban or groot and subban. We have a glut of stay at home type guy's Sbisa out of groot pedan and biega would have the most value imho. Still i think Edler or tanev are gone before him. I hope not in Edlers case I think he has a bounce back year with guddy here and a hopefully better pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this deal is about getting an albatross contract and decently high pick in order to lose a perceived dead weight, I don't agree to it. Before reading what you wrote I thought that it might have been a buy-low on Joffrey which I would have been down for as gambling to get a potential 2nd line forward, but seeing how he's now increasingly injury-prone and his performance has been declining, I wouldn't want to do this deal as we'd essentially be trading Luca for a 2nd while potentially losing cap space to get the future asset (the pick). Maybe aim for a less injury-prone but still underachieving potential top-6 forward who's hopefully still youngish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Thanks for the insights folks. I relayed this info from the other site, cos this is the kind of deal I could see happening(not that I really approve). Some Leaf-blowhards were suggesting WE add stuff..disgraceful. The 2nd rounder was my idea, to make this relatively palatable/ debatable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 10 hours ago, Fanuck said: Imo Sbisa is underrated and gets a bad rap here. Agreed. The thing I 've observed about Sbisa is that he is a big guy who makes big moves; he isn't subtle or deft in any way. So he'll make broad, sweeping attempts at making a play and most of the time is successful, but when he misses the mark, we notice it more because of the style of game he plays. With Sbisa we have to accept that he is an average defenceman who can sometimes do above average things, but not frequently enough to cover up some of his big mistakes. But I think he is absolutely an NHL defenceman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Guess we can shut this thread down now with Lupul not passing his physical and possible done for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
