Claimed off Waivers: [MTL] Adam Brooks claimed off waivers by the Canadiens from the Maple Leafs

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Leafs don't want him, he can't make their team,

But he will be in the starting lineup for Montreal,

That speaks volumes about the two teams, Lol

Ottawa didn't want Galchenyuk, but he was a part of the leafs and in the playoffs. He also could only get a PTO with a team with no team going into the season and managed a league minimum contract

That speak volumes of a certain team
Lol

 

[Magic Man]

I really liked Brooks. He's a safe player that can put up points in limited minutes. He could be the next Verhaeghe or the next McKegg. But, like with both those players they were mid rounders who eventually got a chance outside the organization and they managed to become NHL players. We'll see how far Brooks can ride this, but I think he'll be in the league for awhile.

 

[Prominence]

Mostly smart player. Average skill and skating. An average to above average 4th line center.

 

[Thierry]

Leafs don't want him, he can't make their team,

But he will be in the starting lineup for Montreal,

That speaks volumes about the two teams, Lol

Yeah, if "volume" means that the TML have a deeper center depth than Montreal.

I still try to understand what so hilarious about it.

 

[Rude Dog]

Don’t mind him. But don’t mind losing him either. He is just a bubble 4th line guy. Dime a dozen player unfortunately

 

[Rude Dog]

As a Leaf fan, this sucks. So as a Montreal fan you should be happy.

I had high hopes for the kid, he can make the NHL. I'm not happy about this one bit.

But I wish you all the success in the world Brooks. Have a good one.

Honestly? What high hopes are you referring to? 4th line center?

 

[KevSkillz4]

Can be a steal like Paul Byron.

 

[NMacrules]

Fudge. Habs got an NHL ready forward with skill and some grit.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Potential to become a good 3rd liner, Evans and Brooks at bottom C for Habs is great.

 

[HockeyVirus]

They did a hell of a lot better than the Leafs last year.

Their roster is a hell of a lot different and worse this year.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Fudge. Habs got an NHL ready forward with skill and some grit.

There is no grit in his game.

 

[overlords]

There is no grit in his game.

He was going by Toronto standards

 

[NMacrules]

There is no grit in his game.

Yes there is. Did you not watch? He had no problem grinding in corners. And I said some grit, not Doug Gilmour grit, but some.

 

[HockeyVirus]

He was going by Toronto standards

Toronto hasn't been a soft team in 2 seasons but go on.

 

[Captain97]

Once Hoffman is back he'll likely play on the 4th line with Lehkonen and Armia.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Yes there is. Did you not watch? He had no problem grinding in corners. And I said some grit, not Doug Gilmour grit, but some.

Grinding in corners? If you say so. No more than any other NHL player

 

[Gravity]

he'll probably be able to push for a top 9 role on your team

The same team that just eliminated you in the playoffs in remarkably embarrassing fashion and went to the SCF? Sounds like you better lay low until your team actually gives a reason to pop that collar up.

 

[Mark9988]

Ottawa didn't want Galchenyuk

Ottawa didn't give chucky away for nothing

 

[The Podium]

Would’ve preferred to keep Brooks and waive Amadio.

 

[bleuetbio]

Im totally clueless why this guy hit the waivers?

Is there something with him outside the ice?

 

[A1LeafNation]

Dubas gonna Dubas

Lol what does this even mean?

 

[A1LeafNation]

one mans trash is another mans treasure...

Sloppy seconds.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Again, there's regular season AKA toronto grit and there's grit.

Was waiting for "they lost in the playoffs because grit" nonsense.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Ottawa didn't give chucky away for nothing

Which makes it even worse.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Too bad we lost em.
Was a utility type player for us. Engvall kinda saved his job with his recent play, Brooks probably finds a home on MTLs bottom6.

Vanilla hockey player that has some untapped offense
