Brooks claimed by Jets

[zeke]

I don't think anyone actually believes the Jets did this to spite the Leafs.

I can't believe anyone would deny that they did. It couldn't possibly be more blatant.

 

[Morgs]

Lol players are only desirable when the Leafs waive them.

f*** the Jets, bitchass sexual assault denying org. Hope you enjoyed your Stanley cup earlier this year.

Now why didn't they claim him last time?...

We know how much they love the Leafs, time to celebrate the waiver claim

 

[genk]

I actually believe that if any other team did this he would have passed through lol

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Ehlers is already out, and just lost Copp and Perfetti last night.....

Brooks hasn't played since December due to an undisclosed injury, so I'm sure Winnipeg had better options available to them if they just need a healthy body

You must not be familiar with the Jets current bottom 6.....

 

[Gabriel426]

Did the Jets had lower waiver claim status than us? Why didn't they do that two days ago?

 

[stickty111]

Lets be honest, Jets did it on purpose.

 

[123offtheglass]

What are the odds that the Jets waive him, Leafs claim him then waive him only to be claimed again?

Brooks should get a sleeping bag for the airports.

Perfetti was injured last game. Could be legit pickup if he is inserted into their lineup. If not, they will eventually waive him and we'll claim him again and around and around he goes.

Isn't Brooks injured right now?

 

[Havoc]

If there's any consolation prize from this, the Brooks wars that has haunted this board is officially over. A new common enemy has presented itself.

That is what has been posted but waiving injured players makes no sense.

...but thinking the Jets did this out of spite does?

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Bummer. He would have been great depth.

However I guess contract flexibility is always still nice and we will need some spots open to potentially move Ritchie or chase after some NCAA UFA's. We could use a solid spare center in the organization right now though.

 

[Burnie97]

they could have been thinking to and then decided not to. Maybe they got some new info on some of the injured players and are out longer than they thought.

things can change in 24 hours. You might be right and they’re doing this because they hate the leafs who knows.

Fair enough. Other than Calgary the out west teams piss me off lol.

If the Leafs waive Ritchie like 5 times, chances are a team will claim him

To my understanding once a player is waived & unclaimed, for a certain amount of time/games they're exempt from waivers when being sent down.

They should definitely give it another try though, especially before any trade.

Welcome back, Timmy

 

[2 Slick]

Feel bad for him, Winnipeg is a dumpster fire this season. Trash team.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Spezza better do his flying head butt move on their GM

 

[BertCorbeau]

TBH Brooks might be excited with this since he was born in Winnipeg

Rack up those airmiles!

 

[Doublerum1975]

If Brooks is still getting a nhl salary i don't think he cares how many times he gets waived lol

I'm sure he would prefer not to get waived but he would certainly be happy not to clear.
