The path to success? we went 8 years without making the playoffs.... what path is this you speak of?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Very interesting, Mclaren was waived incase of a trade before of the deadline.

As per Loiselle.

Deal is coming. ?

Loiselle "we waived McLaren to give us some flexibilty for the trade deadline"

 

[Warden of the North]

Dont get too excited just yet.

Loiselle is being interviewed right now and said while this gives them some cap room, its also done because after the deadline a player cant be demoted unless hes already gone through waivers prior to the deadline.

So in theory he could be called up Wednesday to play again. This is just bookkeeping, really

No surprise here, long over due.

Sometimes NHL Rules are so stupid, they exist for no reason except that they are still in the rule books. Bettman is a MORON

 

[Muston Atthews]

I remember some kid Mike Halmo running around giving it to Kessel. I'm all for giving Orr and McLaren less games, but if that's the case, Bodie or Clarkson need to at least step in and make sure things like that don't happen all game.

Yup, Halmo in his first NHL game hit Kessel harder than he has been hit in years, not once but twice. He was also taking runs at Gardiner as wel

I'm thinking you are mad at the wrong person here.

You don't think the rule is there for a reason?

Never it thought of it like that, but could be the case.

Unfortunately we won't have cap space for Bolland when he comes off LTIR we McLaren isn't in the minors. Correct me if I'm wrong?

 

[Magic Man]

The Leafs did need 20K in cap space in order for Bolland to return.

One of Smith, Bodie or McLaren needed to be moved or waived.

Leafs have 680K of cap space, with a 22-man roster.

It's for a possibility of one.

Just opens up a roster spot and a bit of cap.

 

[Trapper]

Ashton's still hurt.

Ashton's not hurt. He just scored a hat trick last game for the Marlies.

But someone would have to be sent down for Bolland to come back so they still chose to waive Mclaren over Bodie and Smith. I guess they could still waive one of the other two tomorrow but I doubt it.

 

[Diatomic]

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Daisy Jane]

really? wow, colour me dumb, i thought he was suffering from his hand issue - the more I know, eh? thanks for that

 

[Joey Hoser]

And what reason is that?

I'm totally just making things up at this point, but a good enough reason would be to prevent teams from over-loading on NHL players and then dumping the excess into the AHL come playoff time.

Yup, not much thought required at all.

 

[My Sweet Shadow]

McLaren and Orr have a combined 14 fights 62 games into the season. After 48 games last season, Orr had 13 and McLaren had 12. Since December 11th, Orr's fought once and McLaren's fought twice. They're simply not nearly as effective this season as they were last. The only argument to keep them in the line-up is to protect our skill guys, but they clearly aren't doing that (or else is hasn't been as big an issue as some have made it out to be), so, at this point, they're just wasting roster spots compared to Bodie, D'Amigo, Holland, Ashton, etc.

The Parros fight changed Orr. He wont fight anymore.

 

[Al14]

I wish McLaren had better skill, and skating ability, because, he seems to be a nice guy!

We'll see if any other team picks him up!

 

[ShaneFalco]

Waive Orr next

 

[Al14]

Waive Orr next

How about we waive goodbye to Clarkson too!

Useless player with a HUGE cap hit!!!

 

[Jer416]

Neutral on this. As much as people think McLaren was useless, him and Orr were the first to arrive at any potential fight. While people think other teams have taken advantage of this by not getting into as many fights with the Leafs, they forget that it's BECAUSE of them that the Leafs haven't been in too many fights. Ofc we don't need two on the same line, but I liked McLaren as a 13th forward. Put him in whenever you need added toughness.

bozak leading the way
