Confirmed with Link: Alex Nylander signed 1 yr deal $775K (Waived Dec 11th)

[Guided by Veseys]

Seems like Berube is pushing an extra gear out of Willy (getting on his ass and lighting some fire). Maybe he can fire up A. Nylander as well.

They aren’t rushing domi bacc so he’s in unless something else transpires

I guess. I thought Domi was a possibility for Sunday. You're right, there is no need to rush him. Let Alex play.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He’s earned it to be the next man up

Might actually provide some offense in the bottom 6

 

[francis246]

Awesome to see he gets the contract. Hopefully he can produce and find a way to make things difficult for Tre

 

[Leafs87]

Slightly intrigued by this sign

 

[francis246]

Give me $775k and I will gladly carry his bags and tie his overpriced shoes. I'd even rub his back once in awhile (shirt on of course).

Lol I’m pretty sure they live together

We should see Robertson going on IR.

Magic Excuse Machine at work.

How’s he been on the Marlies since being invisible in pre season? Has some points but is he showing some urgency?

 

[BTP]

These injuries are a blessing in disguise. Hungry young guys are giving the regulars an energy boost, and they’ve been playing like it

He’s already better than a few of the regulars and I think Berube can help in that regard he sees the opportunity before him

 

[sxvnert]

Makes sense. The entire bottom six needs an upgrade and more competition.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Best case he can carve a role into the lineup (aka the Robertson spot) and be a regular

Worst case is worse than some imagine, he stinks and gets sent down, either he gets claimed or doesn’t. If claimed then this could affect W Nylander, as it did when Sandin left.

 

[TMLeafer]

Redemption tour starts now.

 

[HockeyVirus]

As others have said, this is due to us missing 7 of our top 12 forwards right now.

 

[LeafParade]

What are you talking about, he is going to be playing top 6 pretty soon with all the injuries.

I mentioned this should be a possibility Wednesday.....

5 people quoted me and lol'd at me....... and probably 40 combined likes on those quotes telling me how wrong I was for this suggestion.

I’m on your side my friend

 

[Kiwi]

Understandable with half the forward group carrying injuries

This is his opportunity, it's now or never for Alex so let's hope he plays like a man possessed and forces the team to keep him up

I hope the kid does well, he's been a good pro with the Marlies and I like seeing good things happen to guys who don't stop chasing the dream

 

[WTFMAN99]

There are 2 jobs up for grabs when we're healthy, Robertson and Holmberg are vulnerable.

Minten, Grebenkin, A.Nylander and I guess Steeves can all challenge for the 2.

If we need a center that means minten I think they would prefer Nylander and steeves only cause they don’t require waivers and they can keep their assets intact

Yes but it'll come down to whoever is playing best in the end.

Hopefully we get some picks for Robertson/Holmberg and have a healthier new year.

 

[Menzinger]

Honestly, brothers getting to play with one another is at least a fun story for a while

 

[tmlfan98]

For this signing to happen IMO this means Domi definitely won't be back Sunday. Knies to IR was supposed to be the corresponding move to make roster space for Domi. Now to activate Domi off IR they would have to send someone down who doesn't require waivers like Steeves/Grebenkin.

 

[PromisedLand]

i am so confused......

so he signed a AHL deal then now they signed him to NHL deal

and

we don't really have a lot of cap space

who is getting dealt?

They aren’t rushing domi bacc so he’s in unless something else transpires

so thats
Jarnkrok, Patches, Matthews, Domi, Kampf(?) LOL oh man
