GDT: Training Camp discussion - Rifai and Murray on waivers -- Steeves clears

[Evilhomer]

No surprise at all.

Really happy Rafai cleared, he’s great depth and gives us some options.

No surprise here, but it's official.

I'm also happy Murray and Rifai cleared, but I really didn't think that there was much of a risk they wouldn't either. I like Rifai, but he isn't a player any NHL team is going to look at, and say that's a guy we need on our opening roster. Same with Murray right now.

Agreed. The waiver wire being fairly well-stocked with similar types also had to have been a further help in that regard.

Where are the posters at who were panicking that Murray and/or Rifai would get claimed on waivers?

This is the deepest our roster has looked in the Matthews/Marner/Nylander era.
We should see some nice internal battle for icetime this season.

If Pridham says injured long term who are we as mere mortals to argue?

$1 of space lol.. beauty.

Other than centre, I agree...

A lot rides on Holmberg or the ability for one of our wingers to step in at centre.

I was concerned, not panicked, and i am glad they cleared.

Are you claiming to be unflappable? You must work in an E.R. at a hospital.

That was a pretty well run camp and masterfully handled roster submission, no?

We didn't lose anyone at all. Two LTIR, two IR, one sent to junior, two cleared waivers to the Marlies, two PTO signed (one with a bonus), and $1 under the cap.

This gives us a chance to see what we have in real action before making trades and moves. The only "one-way door" was Cowan, he is down for the year and that's fine... everything else gives us flexibility.

Someone will get hurt and all of these cap gymnastics will cease.

Cautiously optimistic about Bobby McMann
Really hoping he can find another gear and take his game to another level
