Franson, Santorelli to NSH for 1st round pick, Brendan Leipsic, Olli Jokinen

Looking at what the Hurricanes got for Sekerac, I think the Leafs may have undersold on Franson and Santorelli.

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read about that trade, I would think Franson would have been the more coveted defenceman of the two. I am still happy with what we got for pending ufa's but it does appear that they may have jumped the gun a little with that deal.
 
I have a feeling Leipsac could make us forget Cody (who) and Mike (what)?  Supposedly he can stickhandle in a phone booth and plays with grit and drive. Maybe a steal even without the picks.

I don't know.  With the advent of cell phones, there aren't too many phone booths on the ice anymore.

I had similar thoughts but then I looked into Sekera a bit and think that may not be the case. He's cheaper for this year by a significant margin which made him a more appealing rental and last year he was playing 23 minutes a night and was tied for 15th in defenseman scoring. His numbers were down a little this year but what he did in Carolina is probably closer to what he'll be expected to do in LA than Franson and Nashville.

Even better SI. a cell phone is a very small phone booth indeed ;D

This is true :-).

In all seriousness though, The comparable that I keep hearing about for Leipsic is Brendan Gallagher, which if it's  true, is a good thing.
 
Yep if he is that or half a Darcy in his prime then good for us. Hey dont get me wrong I like Cody and Mike but we need new young guys with piss and vinegar whom want to win and and have the time to develop. I like the moves the Leafs are making. Now just get rid of Bozak, please
 
Hi S.I.  I don't like Oatmeal, don't need it, won't buy it, so I don't know what you mean. My comments are my own.  However estatic Clarkson is gone.

That wasn't directed at you, more at Bullfrog.  You know because you can't let the grammar police get away with that sort of thing.  Free speech and all that.

It'd be less annoying if it wasn't blatantly obvious that he was just doing it to get a rise out of people.

The last thing the Leafs need to do is "get rid" of Phil Kessel. And that isn't to say that I'm entirely against trading him. The thing is, Kessel has scored at an elite rate for the previous 3 years despite playing with zero top-line or elite players. This is a guy who plays 82 games just about every year. He's only 27. If he is traded, you trade him for a huge return, nothing less. You don't "get rid" of him, that is just an absolutely asinine comment.
