Would take him over Reimer.

.Lol

Would take him over Reimer.

Doubt the Oilers would.

Doubt the Oilers would.

Meh, he was trash last year there's no disputing that, I just feel he's a lot better than he showed last season. + When both of your goaltenders post .890 and .888 in the same year, they probably weren't entirely to blame, and then there's how Dubnyk was hot garbage and essentially turned around his career the moment he left Edmonton.

Could be a underrated pickup for a team looking for a backup goaltender. The Leafs won't be claiming him though.

 

[mcleex]

Holy **** how hyped was Schenn by Toronto fans now he is getting waived that trade was an absolute fleecing

Dylan Strome sent back down to juniors - looking forward to seeing how he and Marner face off against one another.

He must be a dissapointment being sent back, I mean he's even more physically deveoped than Marner. He totally should have made that Coyotes team being a 3rd overall pick. I mean he's supposed to be an elite player right? He must be behind in his developm...

Oh I can't even finish. It just sounds as ridiculous as it did when people we're saying it about Marner.

Good for Arizona. No reason he should be on that team. They won't put him in a situation where he's expeted to do anything at the NHL level, and they won't unnecesarily burn a year of his ELC while they will likely be a bottom 5 team.

Dustin Tokarski on waivers...

I would rather grab this kid than have Reimer as a backup. And TBH I might even rather take a chance on him over Bernier lol...

Seriously though this guy might be an absolute steal.

Anyone else think we would be crazy not to put a claim in?

[Nithoniniel]

Tokarski is looking like an AHL star goalie or an average backup at this time, so not much interest no.

For the record Reimer is only a year older than Tokarski, not much of a "kid".

Leafs win we have the most players on waivers.

Oh damn - good for little Joe

 

[crump]

Leafs win we have the most players on waivers.

[Swervin81]

I would've given him 82, honestly. Just get this ****er out of the league already.

 

[p.l.f.]

Harrison would help us

what on earth did Torres do to miss 1/2 the season?

Repeat headhunter.

 

[Ovate]

He needs to be on the roster to serve his suspension, and SJ isn't going to waste a spot for half a season. Torres is done in the NHL.

Lets be honest, its about time.

He already had the longest suspension in the history of the league and apparently it still wasn't enough to deter him, so....

Not true.

Billy Coutu, Life time suspension in 1927
Marty McSorely, 1 year for high sticking, 2000
Chris Simon, 30 games stomping, 2007
Chris Simon, 25 games high sticking, 2007

My bad. One of the longest suspensions, in any case.

Holy. I hope that's not as bad as i'm picturing.

Yeah, he stomped on Ruutu's foot years ago.

 

[Daisy Jane]

I am surprised that Betuzzi's suspension isn't there
