Ekman Larsson is 'super excited' to join the Leafs after a busy week in Florida

Oliver Ekman-Larsson discusses his excitement in joining the Toronto Maple Leafs, what went into his decision, and the challenges of making a decision to leave right after winning the Stanley Cup.

[@TSN_Sports]

Leafs fans, how excited are you for this acquisition? Let us know how you're REALLY feeling in the comments

[@ThePalisky]

3.5 per for a 3rd pairing aging guy who doesn't put up much in terms of points anymore or hit much is awful for 1 year let alone 4.

[@TMBpk]

Good signing. First time in a long time I’ve seen the Leafs with an experienced heavy Defence….

[@johnnyDs82]

Welcome to Toronto! Time to “MAKE THE LEAFS GREAT AGAIN”

[@Krisramirez333]

Love you ekky I hope you do well in your new city you will always be apart of the Florida panthers first Stanley cup 🐀🐆🙏

[@almVancouver]

Tre brought in three experienced D for about the price of Marner's cap hit. If Tre can move Marner for more forward help and/or futures or cap space, then this season will be a rousing success. Letting Marner play out his last year and walk, or worse yet signing him to infinity to even more money are just not good business decisions.

Nice

He's excited 😁✔🇨🇦

Leafs finally dealing with defence. Now trade one of your top guys for one more stud d-man.

[@forte7991]

Wow picking up a few Panthers

[@almVancouver]

Welcome OEL!

In other words Ekman Larsson is “super excited” for a first round exit

Leafs sponsor in 2024-25 is AARP

Leafs are in Canada genius

Reilly, Tanev McCabe, OEL Benoit, Liljegren Extra Hakanpaa

[@SovietUnionn]

Hakanpää is better than McCabe, Benoit and Liljegren. Suprised Dallas didnt keep him.

[@rickrobitaille8809]

Six foot seven and bullet proof 😁✔🇨🇦

[@NotExplicable]

I'd rather get more out of OEL on his left side before putting him on his offside

[@eluqc5977]

@@SovietUnionnhe is not better than McCabe 😂😂😂

He can practice his golfing skills with the best hockey golfers in the world. (And more time to play as well)

[@darrenlambert3448]

So far in his career, southern OEL has been far superior to northern OEL.

[@ArniePorter]

He wasn’t so good in Phoenix which is why they traded him. He was miscast in Vancouver. Was never a top pairing dman. He’s a 4-5 and can quarterback a PP.

[@user-sn8sw2vi8z]

I think Liljegren will be traded in a package trade with Robertson and Marner????🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@KohPhanganSummer]

For a goalie and a monster defense.

[@ilfautdanser9121]

i think you are thinking wishfully

[@SovietUnionn]

All players always say "im exited, looking forward to..." but anyone with brains knows better. From Stanley cup winning team in sunshine Florida to crappy Toronto 🤦‍♂

[@TMBpk]

Keep crying….

[@Eazy-Rider]

Crappy? They're a playoff team every year for the past 8 years. Hardly crappy.

[@xtrickster6556]

I agree

[@SovietUnionn]

@@Eazy-Rider Yeah and they have as much playoff success as Columbus so its just sertified playoff bust team Toronto. Nothing more. Whole town and team is doodoo compared to Florida. Or 20 other franchises for that matter.

[@SovietUnionn]

@@TMBpk There there, maybe someday you can win 2 games at 2nd round of playoffs. It would be like Christmas and midsummer at once for Maybe Leaves 😏

[@jefffowler7269]

Why wouldn’t he be, he won his cup now he can go play for a team where he gets to golf early every year
