Leafs acquire Joel Edmundson

[Bender]

So we're readying to get rid of our only young RHD because Keefe doesn't like him?

That'd be A-1 thinking.  I'd 86 Keefe before I'd 86 Liljegren.

I dunno man, Lily's really not progressing. I'm ok with a good old fashioned hockey trade where two players need a change of scenery.

Yep I agree.

Lagesson no longer on the roster

I'd be surprised if he clears waivers

The tough thing for me when looking at the situation is that he is already 28 years old and 
Marshall Rafia is 2 years younger, plays a similar rugged game and is signed for next year as well.

Not concerned if we lose Lagesson. He's a decent 7/8th guy. If he clears, Marlies get a good guy for the playoffs.

Wayne Simmonds on Overdrive absolutely loves Liljegren and thinks if they just give more trust the confidence would grow. Thinks he should play with Edmundson.

Did Simmonds mention anything about how an Edmundson cross check feels?

He mentioned he asked him to go a few times and was turned down lol. He thinks Eddie was a good pick up the Leafs. They talked a bit about Matthews and Simmonds raves about how good he is. Said special a few times lol.

I guess so, but my point is we tend to give up on young d-men too quickly.

I'm not trading him unless it's too good to pass up. I'll take Simmonds at his word. Loves him and says you need a puck movie with a guy like Eddie...we'll see by tomorrow

I love Lily too. Just saying what I am seeing with Keefe. I really don't want to see him go. Just so you all know.

Wayne Simmonds loves him. Thinks his least is too short. Wants to see him with Edmondson..

 

[Highlander]

I'm good for that.

For whatever reason I'm more fine with the Edmundson trade this morning.

Looking forward to him crosschecking everything in front of the net.

Were you drinking all night?

Lol. I was? after that 2nd convincing win over our boys this week. I can see how Edmundson could have helped last night and moving forward.

I?m more worried now about the lack of offence the Leafs showed in the last 3 games.

I wouldn't read too much into last night's game.  The back to back and flu bug going meant the Leafs were always up against it.  The Monday game was a bit concerning though.  Didn't like Woll's game either, I hope it's just a blip and he gets back to where he was pre-injury.  Will be an interesting final 19 games.
