Brooks claimed by Jets

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Don't see the need.
Would just be a Marlies player. We don't have anyone who's spot he'd take. We have other depth guys like Seney, or young depth like Anderson & Robertson. Not to mention a classic 13th forward like Clifford down with the Marlies. No sense putting a claim in on him, and I'm sure Dubas likely feels the same. If Dubas wants depth that hes familiar with, he'll likely offer Brooks something in the off-season

Yeah I unno if we should want him because no matter how you cut he was part of us getting beaten and tossed about by a vastly inferior team in the last 3 first rounds and even if he wasn't never forget we, yes we can't get past the first round because no matter how good we think we are we still lost and should never forget it and make sure to bring it up any time so.ebody makes a great play because we don't have any business rejoicing in any success, WE are after all a team that once traded away a pick that became a HoF dman Neidermeyer and WE play Holl 20 minutes a night and so WE'LL never win until we might.

It wasn't a freak out. People like you freaked out that others actually liked Brooks. Instigate fights then claim the other side freaked out. Classic.
You have no idea whether I freaked out or not about anything. People got irrationally upset over the Leafs losing a waiver fodder player...to waivers. It was a dumb reaction then and it is a dumb reaction now. If my opinion upsets you then that is just to bad for you I guess.

This you?

Seems like a nice guy, but he's the type that's going to bounce around a few teams every year. Good enough to be a fill in when needed for a team but not good enough to keep the spot long term

Clifford is not even good enough to be a 13th forward for the Marlies at this point. Brooks would be way higher than him on the depth chart, and he gives the Leafs a 13th/14th forward we can stash on the Marlies and can play center.

Seney, Michaelis, and Suomela have done well filling Brooks' AHL spot to this point, but I am not sold on any of them as NHL centers, and Abramov/SDA are not ready for that on an competitive team.

It's also one more guy who can replace Ho-Sang if he gets NHL offers. The Marlies already have more than enough guys who can do that, but adding Brooks is pretty much the last piece that Marlies offense needs (and it could also add Amirov at some point too). We can keep guys like Clifford, Clune, and Kopacka out of our top 9 and we can keep our ECHL guys in the ECHL full time (permanently, short of a ton of injuries).

I don't have official numbers, but I think he is good on draws at the AHL level too, and that is something the Marlies have sucked at this year.

Effectively, there are a lot of reasons the Leafs would claim Brooks back if we had the chance.

You don't mess with a waiver claim spot just to get an AHL player. A player you think you could use on your NHL roster becomes available, you've now put yourself at the bottom of the waiver order.

In your Yahoo Fantasy Hockey league this is true.

Those guys would never get to us anyways. Montreal/Seattle would take them long before we would.

If Brooks clears everyone except us, we get a guy who doesn't need to take up cap in the NHL when he is not playing but still gives us a guy we can use in the NHL if needed. That is the perfect depth player for us.

I had a feeling he would make his way back here at some point.

Great way for us to bolster our playoff depth without giving anything up.
Yup he's good as a 13th to 15th forward. I know the team and Keefe love him.

Unless they are planning on sending Brooks down, potentially a move is coming.

are they still allowed to send him straight down or did that expire?
