The Leafs have no cap room to activate Pacioretty from LTIR. They would need to waive someone to create the room and I think the only waver exempt player is Knies. So unless another player ends up going on LTIR, I think it's unlikely we'll see Patches before the playoffs.
That’s ok. Keep him healthy for as long as possible. As kypreos has said a few times they just need him playing the way he can for 2-3 weeks to get through 1-2 rounds. He may not last past that physically
Yeah that's the stuff. If Hak is fit I wouldn't rule him out either. He kinda came in for a brief conditioning stint mid season, but why is he out there now all of a sudden? This is why we got him right - its sorta lining up. Reavo might dress too if we play in Florida.
I mean the dude has had some really bad injury luck. He had moments this season where you could see glimpses of his skill and grit, and he was a beast on the cycle at times. He didn't do much for Washington last post-season (they were a terrible team though), but prior to that he had 15 goals and 30 pts in 36 playoff games with Vegas which is quite respectable. He could be completely cooked at this point, but it's hard to say, doesn't hurt to give him a look though, can't be possibly worse than a cardio merchant like Holmberg.
He’s definitely better than some of the bottom 6. Let’s hope he can make it through a game
Too bad Patch can only play 35 games a year at this point.
He has 5 kids..and said it was very hard on him to be away from them. Sounds like he has no interest in coming back to T.O.
Hence the 35 games. However he also wants to win a championship. I could see him in Edmonton or Florida.
