The-Habby2919 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The Leafs have traded their 3rd (70th overall) to St. Louis for Jamal Mayers rights. www.tsn.ca/nhl Like he was going to be gone the first day of free agency they couldnt wait to get him for free. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Habby2919 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Correction, Mayers still has 2 years at 1.4 a year left on his contract. Still, didnt Cliff say he wanted to get younger? :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhfarber Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 so much for rebuilding eh? 3rd round pick is pretty high for a 4th line (well 2nd line for the Leafs) grinder. Looks like Cliff "Draft Schmaft" Fletcher is starting to work his magic on the Leafs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Poor Cliff is going senile in his old age. He used to be a great GM. But I guess hanging onto the past fits the Leafs, eh? 41 years now. Edited June 20, 2008 by jetsniper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 They've been after Mayers for a few seasons now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I don't get the bashing here, Mayers is a solid pickup for them, especially just for a 3rd. If he's good enough to play an important role for Team Canada at the Worlds, I'm sure he'll be able to play somewhere on the Leafs. Contrary to what some people think, even rebuilding teams need some veteran leadership to work with, that's what Mayers should bring.

Athlétique.Canadien Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I wouldn't go laughing at Fletcher yet. He wouldn't acquire a character guy by giving up a 3rd if he wasn't going to ship a current player (Antropov maybe?) out for a 1st rounder or a 2nd rounder. Hold the phone....

Easy Ryder Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Mayers is a intense player with a good physical presence, in that part of the game he is a upgrade over Kilger and Battaglia. However for a guy that doesn't put a lot of points he sure goes deep in the +/- department. -22,-19,-19 since the lockout. Defense is the flaw in his game, that's what the Blues realised and Fletcher missed. Still the Blues have 1.4 million more wiggle room for a UFA. I prefer Kosto over Mayer.

Tony Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Leafs have been trying to get Mayers for like 3 seasons now. About time they got him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
