TSN: Leafs' Connolly placed on waivers - McKenzie: Cleared waivers.

[Pi]

So to the Isles take the whole cap hit?

Yeah I guess they need to reach the cap floor, otherwise it makes no sense to take him for nothing.

We're done with Tim Connolly if they picked him up.

It's like giving him away for future considerations. We have another 4.7M to spend if we wanted.

So to the Isles take the whole cap hit?

If they claimed him on waivers then yes. If he clears waivers and we trade him, then Leafs can eat half the salary and get something in return.

Don't care either way...good luck to connoly, hope he has a bounce back year!

Just didn't workout here and with the glut of young players we don't really have a spot for him.

TSN 1050 is refering to an HFBoards thread, where a poster provided a link to Connolly's profile on NYI official website.

They don't realize that NYI keeps profiles of all their alumni.

Even Zdeno Chara.

TSN 1050 guys sound like idiots right now.

 

[crump]

Way to go doofus.

 

[ACC1224]

tsn 1050 is saying Connolly to the Isles.

Not on their website. Don't Teams have until 12 to make a claim?

I'll believe it when it's official.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Look at all that cap space

Hopefully we can acquire a mamoth expiring contract for some added benefits.

 

[Stats01]

James Mirtle is the one who said he was claimed he's trying to confirm it..if this is false I'm going to pissed.

Shouldn't there be some kind of standard for broadcasting sports?

[Stats01]

Honestly, these guys just run with anything they see, I have a feeling it's false. Thanks TSN 1050..

 

[p.l.f.]

oh boy

 

[Hero]

lol TSN's source is HFB?

 

[ULF_55]

If anything they should be saying Team X put a claim in on Player Y.

If multiple teams put in claims there is a criteria to be followed.

 

[p.l.f.]

[McMatthews]

we're already at the cap floor, if for some reason we've reacquired Connolly (which I doubt), it's not for the purposes of having his bloated salary on the books.
