Leafs get RD Conor Timmins in exchange for behemoth Curtis Douglas.

At one time was viewed as a top D prospect but concussion injuries negatively impacted his entry to the NHL.

6.2" 202, only 24, with excellent skating skills, plays a physical and responsible game but hasn't perfected the offence he showed in OHL. Another Soo player that Dubas is familiar with and a Sandin D-mate.

I cited him as a candidate a few weeks back so certainly am not unhappy with this minor move.

I do like his skating, size and physicality and at $850k doesn't hurt our cap.

A good backup that should not hurt us! Time will tell if he can blossom into a solid player which would be tremendous news.

I like the trade as Douglas isn't going to ever make this lineup.

As you said, he definitely has the pedigree, but has never played much in his career.

Could be good, could be a nothing deal. Time will tell.

I like the trade small risk with upside.

I mean they were never gonna let Douglas play in the nhl so it seems like a good trade we will see if Timmons gets a look.

I personally really like this trade, it doesn’t hurt the team giving up someone who may have never made the team. I think you’ll see timmins tomorrow against the wild.
