Ummm.

 

[2badknees]

Weird. Oh well, Frattin seemed decent at one point.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

D'Amigo a better energy guy, Frattin more scoring.

Not a terrible deal.

 

[Redleaf]

I like Frattin a lot. I think he can get back on track again with Toronto.

WTF?

Frattin returns....d'amigo goes to blue jackets. One former leaf returns...another yet to come. #TMLtalk

Dom Moore, I guess? Komarov, Stralman?

 

[Boston Leaf]

Gotta be Komarov re-signing

 

[louisstamos]

Hunh... That's something...

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Gotta be Komarov re-signing

That's my guess also.

 

[Kin]

Sure. Why not?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Ummm.

Last year I would have valued Frattin more than D'Amigo. But after seeing Frattin basically do nothing for a season and I'm not so sure. D'Amigo is almost a guaranteed 4th liner, but I don't see much more upside there. Frattin can be a middle-6 winger, but there's a chance he's out of the league in a year.

This just seems like a dumb trade to me...  Would rather have D'Amigo.

If they could add those three at a decent price I wouldn't object.  But Stralman will probably have to get overpaid.

As for Frattin, he's better than D'Amigo IMO.

Given the kids a chance.

I don't like this move.  D'Amigo's a good energy guy and penalty killer.  Frattin has 35 points in 126 games.  "Getting back on track" would imply that he was ever on track.  He had a couple of good stretches of games but he was never a guy who established himself as a good NHLer.

I mean we just traded to acquire a guy who has now moved teams 3 times since June 23/13.  Frattin is fast, he definitely adds a bit of that element but he either plays above Clarkson, or his speed is pretty much useless on a line with Clarkson (3rd).

OT, I apologize, but does anyone watching on a reliable feed they could share?

 

[Mr. Leaf]

Frattin showed flashes of being a legitimate scorer when he was on the Leafs before.  Hopefully he can play like that again.  If not, I don't think D'Amigo is a huge loss.

I think Frattin added value beyond scoring though. He was pretty good on the forecheck.

Really, this just seems like the exchange of two different kinds of 4th line players.

Komarov can also play centre as well, and as I recall was pretty decent on faceoffs...
