LEAFS LOSE
Francois Beachemin
Kris Versteeg
Tomas Kaberle
Mikhail Stefanovich
7th Round conditional pick
*It hurts to see Kaberle go, but it was inevitable. Weird to think now, that the longest serving Leafs currently on our roster are Kulemin and Grabovski. As for Kris Versteeg, it was never really working out. He fits a team like cup contender like Philadelphia where he doesn't have to be a leader. In Philly, like he was in Chicago, Kris can be relied on more as an all-around player, capable of handling multiple roles. Beauchemin wasn't doing us any big favours, but he should be a nice fit back in Anaheim.
LEAFS GET
Joffrey Lupul
Aaron Voros
Jake Gardiner
Joe Colborne
Fabian Brunnstrom
1st round pick (BOS)
1st round pick (PHI)
2nd round conditional pick (BOS)
3rd round conditional pick (PHI)
4th round conditional pick (ANA)
*A lot of chances for future stars to develop from these trades. Aside from Lupul and Voros, there are 5 picks, 2 prospects, and former promising sniper in Brunnstrom who could rise to the task and perform well for our club in the future.
