conundrumed Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Was just mentioning this morn wondering who would be 1st to open the trade box. Here we are. This is a pretty good trade, we didn't really lose much. The 1st is likely to be in the 20's and we didn't give up a top prospect. I'll be patient and see what Toffoli adds here. Gets Ritchie bumped, so should be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Toffoli has more than a few connections to this team it appears -Played under Sutter - Played with Monahan in juniors - played with (and apparently tight with- see below) Lucic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets Ritchie bumped, so should be an improvement. There also could be a draft day deal to recoup some of the picks we are lacking, including a first. We'd lose a good player, but we might have to in order to sign Johnny. But I agree, Ritchie getting bumped is good for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Tribal Chief Posted February 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 He is expected to be on a plane tonight just gotta sort out the family in montreal shouldnt be to much of a problem no border tre said that adding to the roster and not trading that part away was what allowed this trade due to we didnt have to give up anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Tribal Chief Posted February 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Must be pumped to be back with sutter cause last time he was with him he won 2 cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conundrumed Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 The move makes a lot of sense in that he's a good player and strong connections here. He can play both sides well so it's all about having better options with the fwd roster. I'm all about different looks and being able to play various styles effectively so he helps with that. I wasn't huge on getting him, but I can see why it makes sense. BT has done a really good job of managing our depth this year seeing this season was always going to be attached to covid.crap. Now I just need to hear Sutter's thoughts.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix66 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I can't see this as anything but a home run - He's a top 6 right shot scoring winger ..RW but can play both . exactly what we have filled thread pages asking for for years - he plays power play and kills penalties - consistent 20+ goal scorer, most of his goals at 5-5 - we already know he can play in the system - he's everything we paid James Neal to do but does all the things Neal won't do He's on a good contract for 2 more seasons We got him without giving up anything of high value , no real roster players and the first shouid be late 20s He's played on 3 other teams and been the same player each time so we should expect nothing less 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmac70 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 This is a very very solid trade. The fact that we didn't give anything of real value back to make this happen is awesome. Really our lines were a weak link with Ricthie on the roster now, the weakest link has been replaced by a proven scorer RW that has been through the trenches. Really whats the lines look like now: JG - LINDY - CHUCKY MAGS - BACKS- TOFFOLLI/COLEMAN DUBE- MONY- COLEMAN/ TOFFOLLI LUCIC- RUZIE- LEWIS Regadless how this spins out we most definelty have 4 lines to roll with. Kudos to BT for making this happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just need to hear Sutter's thoughts.lol I loved what he said. You make trades when you're playing bad, or playing good. It's a trade. It's better to trade this early because at the deadline, it is 40 days left in the season, that's not a lot of time to integrate them into the roster, and a lot of times it doesn't work because of how little time the new player has to get used to the team, the play. It's basically what I've been thinking the last week or so. I thought now was the time to add to get a player acclimated. I hope it makes us a top3 line team with a decent-good 4th line. What the 3rd line is lacking is hockey IQ or speed. Hopefully adding him to Dube gives he someone to work with. I think Dube can do it. Hopefully Monahan can get excited too and this gives him a shot in the arm. If we can get that 3rd line to click, it would mean a lot to this team.

Kudos to BT for making this happen Now, do we see him tomorrow night, or do we see him the game after? Does he need a practice in? The fact he isn't replacing anyone actually gives him leeway on when he plays next. Sutter didn't say whether he'd be in tomorrow or not when he was asked. Just said something along the lines that he has to get there and that's the first step to him getting into the lineup. We will see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Here are all the connections I can find: Sutter: coached him in LA Lucic: played together in LA, was best man at his wedding. Lewis: played together in LA Markstrom: played together in Vancouver Tanev: played together in Vancouver Monahan: played together in junior Muller: coached him in Montreal Ritchie: played together in Jr Super Series Gudbranson: played together in Jr Super Series Richardson: played together in LA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
