If the Leafs sign a free agent today (while everyone can sign him today) and put him on waivers a week later, he probably gets claimed

Vegas claimed him. Time for everyone to switch their opinion and say he was amazing and Dubass messed up again

because NHL GMs opinions are vastly different than the hive mind of Twitter/HFBoards.

It seems to work when the player says he will retire if he gets claimed…

Super-deep Vegas claims Amadio off waivers from the no-depth Leafs.
Just like the super-deep Habs claimed Brooks off waivers from the no-depth Leafs.
Lol poor no-depth Leafs.
(P.s. Semyonov looked better than both of them in preseason)

Kings of the North!
Not even the least bit upset about this one but this was my first reaction as well, it’s almost funny at this point.

It's almost like Dubas and the Leafs have done very well at finding good and efficient depth players that other teams can't seem to find very often.

There's a fine line between depth players and fillers. Mikaheyv is a depth player and so is Kase
Amadio and Brooks are fillers. Every team needs fillers due to cap issues and covid to ice teams
We have no good depth. These players being picked up speaks very little of our depth and more that our team is full of fillers.

You think he’s amazing? I can’t imagine he’ll be missed

I hope and pray that Marlies Grads help energize this limping Leafs team. It just never seems to happen. Is it because Dubas keeps trading 1st round picks?
Good post.
There is a significant distinction to be made between depth vs fillers.
We need our depth to be better than the other guys to have any season and playoff success. They need to be able to pick up the slack when our top players are misfiring or running cold, like everyone does in a long season.
Depth players like Enqvall, Kerfoot, Mik, Kase, Kampf, Ritchie, Simmonds, Spezza, and Bunting are the guys we are talking about here. Who of them are stepping up? Only obvious ones for me are Spezza, Bunting, Simmonds. That's not going to be enough to get us where we think we should be.......
If you are counting on your fillers to work in the same capacity and have the same impact, you are already pooched.

Teams don't pick up bad players just for fun. They pick up good ones to fit a need, or ones that are upgrades from their list of potential call-ups. Every team has a farm team with players.
Changing the term "depth" for "fillers" doesn't change anything here. Depth is depth. Filler is a synonym to depth and the Leafs lost another depth player to a team likely thinking he's good enough to fit in their depth.
It is funny to many of us that Amadio and Brooks are deemed awful depth players but good enough for teams with perceived better depth... they don't have an Amadio or Brooks on their respective team? If they are just "filler" players, teams with better depth would have better "filler" players... but yet... here we are...
