Goaltending issues solved!

I hope someone claims him just to mess with the Leafs.

Alright then

 

[JTRAIN1966]

That was quick !

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Honestly why wouldn’t Tampa claim him or another competing team.

Why would they care? Nobody is really scared of Toronto, are they?

Zito on the phone to Adams right now: "Hey, we'll make that 6th into a 5th if you do us another favor".

Wasn't Cheri Oteri on SNL?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Watch Florida claim him to backup Bob and then send Knight as part of a package for Chychrun.

Why would they? It’s not like they are bringing him in to be their starter. How much do you really think you are hurting the Leafs by claiming this guy. You would ruin your relationship with a GM and probably Satari’s agent.
Doesn’t seem worth it at all.

Few years ago, he was best goalie in KHL, I thought.

Hockey is a business that isn’t about being scared it’s about being better than your opponent. You’d think if management of a competing team could do something to make Toronto worse off they would. Especially at the cost of nothing. Teams carry 3 goalies on playoff rosters and 750k is really peanuts.

Leafs are already hurting themselves anyway with Dubas decision making ever since he became the GM.

Ron Maclean mentioned last night, they had a Ken Dryden clone, situation happening already so why all this today?
Maybe Ron can tell us on the Sunday night Hometown Hockey?

This is logical. Still interesting to see. I’m sure conversations will be had internally.

because claiming a player to not use him purely to marginally hurt a rival is not how adults work in a business built on relationships

Is anyone really scared of sateri? No reason to claim him

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Good get ... stellar numbers in the KHL and Olymics but NHL playoffs are a different monster.

As you said, it's a business so why is it worth it to ruin a relationship with a team over this?

 

[Number 57]

There is simply no way he clears

Hockey is a business. But being a GM is a business of relationships and would you want your GM to ruin his relationship with another GM over Harry Satari?

Well if claiming a guy ruins a relationship then I don’t know why waivers are allowed
