Waived: Petr Mrazek (Cleared)

[The don godfather]

Laughs are in full panic mode as playoffs approach. It's as normal as spring comes with snow melting.

 

[BayStBullies]

But I thought he was the next Hasek leading the Leafs to the promised land?

Can you provide a source? If not, you sound like a moron.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

So Mrazek, a 1st, and a 2nd for Middleton?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Should be "wave" Mrazek

Byeeeee, nice winter classic pads buds!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

You should just never give Dubas any cap space. He does better when he just relies on the pro-scouts to find super low contract players like Bunting. When he gets space, his contract negotiation is awful. He's wasting the value he gets out of Bunting for Mrazek and Ritchie.

I mean to be fair he turned Ritchie into Lybushkin who has been really good so far. Remains to be seen whether he can navigate this mistake as well as he did Ritchie.

Another great move, sign an average back up goalie to a 3 year contract and waive him the first year of said contract

He traded away a 2nd round pick. You can't just waste those to clean up your mess. Lybushkin is a JAG.

The leaf haters in here.....
Look inwardly...you likely cheer for a bad team, your city sucks, no one wants to play there or all of the above.

No cost to the Leafs in signing Mrazek. What Dubas does with Mrazek and his cap hit, ultimately, will tell how it all worked out.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Kulak + Allen for Leafs first lol

 

[93gilmour93]

Another dubas fumble.

For every Bunting, Kampf and Kase you get a Mrazek

Mrazek's 0.884 save percentage and 3.5 goals per game already told us how it has worked out. I would pay assets to NOT have that level of goaltending, so there is a cost.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Could see ARI or SEA or BUF happy to take Mrazek for picks.

 

[93gilmour93]

Pretty easy to say that in hindsight. Majority of fans and analysts loved the move. You can't predict when a guy will get hurt.

Exactly. Some people

I don't know what a "JAG" is... but if that trade hadn't happened, and as the Leafs approached the deadline, there was a trade of Toronto's 2023 3rd for Lyubushkin, it seems to me that everyone would have called that a more than fair deal.

So what did he "overpay" by? Took on one day of Dzingel? Paying Hutton's salary off the cap? that option to turn a 2023 3rd into a 2025 second?


That being said... timing of this is somewhat curious. If I recall, the waiver wire was moved to 3pm a couple of years ago... Leafs won't know how much of his cap space they have to work with until after the deadline.

 

[joepeps]

Another failed Dubas signing. How many saviours have been waived this year alone? I remember when homers were talking like Ritchie was prime Todd Bertuzzi and Mrazek Dom Hasek. What happened boys?

I remember when haters said bunting is crap and wont get 10 goals also... and Kase and kampf are shit

 

[93gilmour93]

Foligno says hi

Yup. When you get a player and he gets injured it sucks

I guess the homers were wrong. You really showed them that's for sure!

 

[New Liskeard]

Foligno says hi

Yup. Because every team that makes a trade at the deadline wins the cup.
Didn’t know the NHL is going to award every team making a deadline day trade the Stanley Cup. Cool stuff.

 

[Cogburn]

I'd love to see another subpar goalie brought in to replace Mrazek. Dubas doesn't want to pay a significant price, so if this is an indicator of another move, I'd love seeing Halak or Allen being the "big piece" coming in to back up Kallgren.

Just another guy.

A 2023 3rd for Lyubushkin? No thanks. Thats awful. You can get a robert hagg for a 6th.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Lol Dubas.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

The copium in here from Leaf fans acting like someone will maybe claim Mrazek is overwhelming. No one's touching that contract with a 10 foot pole, outside of maybe one the flagrant tankers trying to stay at the cap floor like Arizona.

You’re ignoring the greater issue… Even Arizona won’t do it without compensation.

If they want to be rid of it, somebody’s gonna demand a pick.

Foligno was injured when said trade happened.

All or nothing bud am i right
