Thank god it's Washington. So NAK will only have two more games left this season to score against his former team.

Leafs knew some of the waiver players would get picked up.
Maybe they can claim Brooks when he goes back on waivers?

Yeah forgot about that. MLSE has money to throw around that's forsure. Well I guess that'd be Roger's and bell now.
I'm sure even they are not massive fans on lighting money on fire

We gave him a mil
We need to seriously look at our pro scouting or what we use within our pro scouting ( or even listen to them more)
We make way too many mistakes

Usually teams only pick up the players off of waivers that we actually want to keep, this time they actually took out our trash? Shocking.
Probably not. We may need to sign a goalie at some point as we only have 2 available signed to NHL contracts and we will need a contract spot for Knies late in the season.

Looks like other teams saw value in him.....
Good for the player and for freeing up a contract spot.

Oh well he was useless when he played with us.
Now we have an open contract spot and 1 mil in cap relief to do something else.

Not overly surprised he was claimed. I don't think he was good enough here. We have better players overall.

It's the usual propping up of players then the oh geez we waived a nobody
Another you're miserable if you criticize this team post. Plenty of depth my arseWith actual depth.Incompetence.
Brings in an actual depth player, from an actual Stanley Cup winning team, who actually played in the Stanley Cup....... You know... good enough depth for his team to win the Cup....
Amazing isn't it? Colorado, an incompetent team, somehow won the cup with such a depth player.
It didn't work here... next... we have plenty of depth... some who haven't had a chance to tryout yet... it's a long season... relax son, and try to find some happiness in this world.
You guys crack me up.

Who propped him up? Or are you projecting?
I don't think anyone expected more than a 4th liner. Not sure what the problem is.

The problem is Dubas has one line. Sometimes two. And yes go back and see what a warrior NAK was to some

This isn't about the team. This is about NAK.
The majority of people understand that he was a depth level player. He's a grinder that hits a lot but sucked in every other aspect. Leafs expected a slightly better player. You're making it like he was slated to be a top end player or whatever. Get a grip. Teams waive these players all the time.

Expected this, made sense to grab a grinder from a cup winner, he didn't translate his game here, so good luck in Wash, we lose nothing and gain a contract spot. Hopefully this can be the precursor to an upcoming move.
