The PPP braintrust has gathered from the four corners of the world to have opinions about the Leafs’ trade deadline activity. Let’s recap what that activity was.
The Nick Foligno Trade: The Leafs gave up their 2021 first-round pick, their 2021 fourth-round pick, and their 2022 fourth-round pick to get aging power forward Nick Foligno from the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Jackets retained the maximum 50% of Foligno’s salary and Foligno was routed through San Jose, where they Sharks retained another 50% of the salary remaining, so that the Leafs wound up with 25% of Foligno’s original cap cost.
