Waived: Nick Ritchie on Waivers (Cleared)

[HandshakeLineRespect]

But Ritchie is the center piece of every Leafs proposal for an actual good player?!?!

Not he isnt, dont be so ridiculous.

 

[McJedi]

By my count, 30 different veteran players with a cap hit >= $2 mil were waived over the past 365 days. Just 1 was claimed: Sami Vatanen on an expiring deal.

Wow. Nice post. Impressive you had those stats.

so when you saw pkgs like Ritche+Amirov+1st you thought Ritche was the center piece? or is my sarcasm detector broken?

 

[Auston Marlander]

Toronto interested in a Kane@50% for Ritchie-based deal?

Patrick Kane at 50% for Ritchie>. Absolutely. Evander Kane at 0.5% for Ritchie, not on your life.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

This is a no lose situation.

Either he gets claimed and his 2.5 million is gone giving them cap space to add at the deadline.

Or he goes to the taxi squad and becomes an option in case of injury.

If your forward group is deep enough to have Nick Ritchie as a potential Taxi squad option that's not a bad thing

2.5 mill on the taxi squad is a bad thing.

Go to the Chychrun thread, or the Ekane thread, or scroll up in this thread...

How could you possibly say that with Kerfoot still on their roster.

 

[Fatass]

Is he fit?

i don’t understand why it’s hard to grasp that the leafs are right against the cap so when people include Ritchie in deals it’s because they need to move money out. He’s never been the center piece in a deal

 

[Eggtimer]

I could see the Devils possibly making a claim. We have zero size on the wings. I don’t want him but can see it as a slight possibility .

^Dumb shit said every time Toronto waives a player. Receipts or your talking out your ass.

Kyle Turris for Nick Ritchie

Leafs save 900K on the cap and get out of Ritchie's 2nd year, and then bury Turris for more cap savings.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

2.5 mill on the taxi squad is a bad thing.

He would be 1.5 million on the taxi squad.

 

[AvroArrow]

He identifies as being fit

 

[krutovsdonut]

Well there goes the main piece in all the trade proposals.

they still have nick robertson.

Yes. Done.

absolutely. having to waive your high profile $2.5m two year signing from this summer after less than 40 games is a no lose situation.

way to not lose.

 

[X66]

It's odd, in the pre-season he showed a lot of nice touches and scored on some great hand-eye plays, then he literally never did it again.

I think he still has the potential to bounce back though.

Why would you guys do that? Turris been that bad this year?

That seems doable

A high profile 2.5 million signing. You sir are stretching that term to its max.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Yup. That's dead cap. A taxi squad typically had a cap hit of 0.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

most games you don't even know he's playing until his line gets scored on. The dictionary definition of a non-factor.

and we have to start giving Tippett's toys away. He had Turris on the powerplay last night over Puljujarvi and Yamamoto and he does nonsense shit like promote Devin Shore to the 2nd line with RNH out. Absolute f***ing nonsense.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Wow. Nice post. Impressive you had those stats.

There have been so many notable names waived, but not claimed, to the surprise of some, that it made sense to tally it. There's no reason to think a veteran player is more attractive on waivers than via a trade for future considerations, particularly those on multi-year contracts.

But...how are the Leafs gonna get Jacob Chychrun now?
