Confirmed with Link: Leafs acquire Dzingel, Lyubushkin from ARI for Ritchie, c.2nd... Dzingel on waivers &claimed

[Fogelhund]

… and I’d just ordered his jersey…

 

[LeafGrief]

Genuinely hilarious that Dzingel gets claimed here. Oh well, cap space it is

 

[stickty111]

Not really upset about. More cap space

 

[123offtheglass]

Really thought he'd go through, damn.

 

[AllDay28]

It really puts things in perspective when the Leaf fan base lose their mind on our GM, when every single player he waives gets claimed by a team.

 

[griffon1]

Traded Dzingel for cap space. Good move.

 

[TMLAM34]

If an injured Brooks gets claimed, a healthy Dzingel will too. Not surprised and good for him. He’s an NHL player so I’m sure he’s happy to play in San Jose than the Marlies.

 

[TheScandal89]

According to Cap Friendly we now have 2.6 million in deadline cap space now. Could virtually take any rental @50% now.

 

[Dekes For Days]

It's pretty funny that people think we have no depth, but every player that's not good enough to make our team that goes on waivers gets claimed.

 

[Anthrax442]

i wanted to see what he could do on a good team.. oh well..

 

[Pinto]

We can’t pass anyone through waivers.

 

[Mugzy97]

Farewell Ryan, we hardly knew ye

According to Cap Friendly we now have 2.6 million in deadline cap space now. Could virtually take any rental @50% now.

Have they included the Sandin recall in that?

 

[Sweetpotato]

Savvy moves by Dubas here, so curious what they've got planned.

Hoping for Soucy and Pavelski.

 

[TheScandal89]

Have they included the Sandin recall in that?

I don't think so but the way I see it if we added another Dman, one of him or Liljegren would be sent down to balance it out anyway.

 

[ToneDog]

We can’t pass anyone through waivers.

Too bad no team claimed the guy we wanted teams to claim.

 

[Leafsfan74]

In my opinion if he was going to be the 13th forward then this is the best outcome possible for the Leafs.

Trade Ritchie and receive a hard hitting, shot blocking right shot bear on defense AND add cap space? Quite a positive outcome a month away from the trade deadline.

 

[saltming]

Dzingel to SJ

[Leafidelity]

As usual, simply being a Maple Leaf makes you an attractive commodity

 

[2 Slick]

I just hope I never have to see Clifford playing ever again, he’s absolutely terrible in every sense of the word.

 

[Griffin76]

I just hope I never have to see Clifford playing ever again, he’s absolutely terrible in every sense of the word.

Would you say he's garbage? Or trash?

I'm just kidding around.

 

[zeke]

I just hope I never have to see Clifford playing ever again, he’s absolutely terrible in every sense of the word.

I would guess our "1st line" of callups at the moment would be Robertson-Seney-Anderson.

 

[Buds17]

Will go down with the likes of Olaf Kolzig, Jared McCann as one of the great paper Leafs of all time.

BTW, can this bottom feeder league resist taking Leafs junk or what? I've never seen such a waiver claim happy approach towards any team as vs the Leafs.

I'd consider it a compliment (the Leafs being a good team). I don't know if the Leafs are any more susceptible to waiver claims in comparison to other teams of similar quality. I'm not really sure that it even matters as a team's foundation isn't especially likely to be built via that method all that much anyway.

 

[Buds17]

Watch SJ turnaround and deal him for a draft pick at the deadline.

Power to them if that comes to fruition. I can see the argument for the Leafs choosing to retain their defensive depth instead.
