Leafs Acquire Liles For 2012 2nd Round Pick

[LeafsFan4Life]

John-Micheal Liles is heading to Toronto.

The Avalanche sent the defenceman to the Maple Leafs in exchange for Toronto's second round draft pick in 2012.
That draft pick was acquired when the Leafs dealt Tomas Kaberle to the Bruins last year.

Liles has been with the Avs for all seven of his seasons in the NHL.
Last year, he posted six goals and 40 assists in 76 games.

The 30-year-old has 68 goals and 207 assists in 523 career games.

Liles has one year remaining on his contract at $4.5 million, with a cap hit at $4.2 million

I really like this trade.

Great trade for the leafs comes from a habs fan lol
This means Colorado are going with Larsson

 

[The Guid]

Larsson and Shatty? That could be dangerous in a couple years

Shattenkirk got traded to the Blues during the season..

 

[The Guid]

Yeah I messed that one up..though it would be dangerous lol

I still like Larsson and Johnson.

If you mean Erik Johnson, he's an Av too lol

Larsson would be a great pick IMO

They're shipping em out

not sure if I like this trade. They just got rid of kaberle, and Liles supposedly plays like him, and has a 4.1 cap hit

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I like it because we used one of the conditional picks to get a similar player.

Good deal for the Leafs

The thing is, I hated kaberle and his style of play to begin with. Way to soft on defence.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I was iffy on Kaberle. Like I loved him and McCabe years ago, however, that changed over the past couple of years. Hopefully Phaneuf and Liles can succeed though.

 

[The Guid]

I don't think Liles is as soft as Kaberle though

 

[JKG33]

yea, I loved McCabe/Kaberle too.

I think they will keep Phaneuf and Aulie together, then have Liles and Schenn. Considering Schenn was paired with Kaberle, and Phaneuf/Aulie are great together.

Pretty decent deal for the Leafs
