Possibly, but he's a guy who clearly deserves an NHL shot to see if he can stick and he wasn't going to get it in Minnesota ahead of Spurgeon, Dumba, and now Goligoski.
Confirmed with Link: Leafs acquire Brennan Menell for a cond. 7th rd pick in 2022 [Upd 8/1: signed 1 yr/2 way contract]

Fine by me. I know nothing about the guy, obviously, but the Marlies need all the help they can get.

Hard to see who he'd replace in the Leafs top 6 blue liners right. I'm guessing hes the first call up given his experience.
On a two way deal he doesn’t have to clear waiver. Outstanding job by Dubas.

If he plays 30 games in the NHL it is excellent quality for a 7th rounder.

Yes, he will need to pass through waivers. Hopefully the $400k minor league salary will pose a bit of a deterrent to being claimed.....
But if not, it was a freebie.
2-way vs 1-way is irrelevant for waivers. A 2-way deal just means you make a different salary in the minors than in the NHL, 1-way means you make the same salary irrespective of whether you are in the NHL or AHL.
Waiver eligibility is determined by age and service time

If he doesn't play 30 games, we keep the 7th. We really can't lose on this one.

If they wanted to block Liljegren they could have done a lot better than Brennan Menell.

No, I think it just gives more depth.
sorry my bad, apparently he would have to clear waivers if sent down. I had always thought a two way deal meant they could be sent up and down without the potential for being claimed

According to Capfriendly he made $70,000 each year of his ELC. I don't know what Minny offered recently, but doubt that it would be less.

Agreed.
They are giving liljigren a shot to win a spot.
If he can’t beat out Mennel, he will never make it in Toronto. Probably gets dealt for a mid round pick if he loses the battle in camp.
Good point but we also know a 6th is valued less than nothing.
Zetterberg was drafted way late.
Luc Robattile.
Datsuyk.
No doubt a bunch of very good players drafted late.
This kid may be great but if you aren’t in the NHL by 24 , you probably never will be.
Keep the pick and let your brilliant mgt group make a pick.
Or add the pick with a bad player like Engvall and hope to get a fourth.
Use the fourth and another bed player like Holl and try for a second.
What you should not do is lose a player for nothing when you could have gotten a sixth.
Makes no sense.
For the millionth time. It's not for nothing. It shows Holland and other GMs that you can't be strong armed into taking less than you think you should get.
Man, people whined when Dubas caved and gave Marner maybe ~2 million too much, but now they are whining that he DIDN'T cave and take too little.
