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

[Evilhomer]

Leafs could put Matthews on waivers and you would say it's not a huge loss

Comparing Matthews and Marshall Rifai seems...genuine.

 

[SprDaVE]

Indeed.

Kampf or Jarnkrok are likely the guys to go, but I did half expect them to throw Liljegren on waivers today and still think they still think they'll move him, unfortunately.

I think they are trying to find value for any of those players. Not many teams have the cap space or roster space for them though... so Treliving and the Leafs put themselves in a corner instead of being active early in the off-season.

Lineup looks pretty set now with Chief wanting that as the 4th line... Only thing is the 3rd line has too many people right now, We have about 3 forwards and only one roster spot available.. (Patches/Jarnkrok/Dewar (LTIR)

That 4th line. Many people are saying that it's the best 4th line. It's very popular more popular than anyone could ever imagine. They're big men, very strong men, very very rough men, there's never been anyone stronger. Oh and tough, so very tough. NHL tough and that's so awfully tough

Good on you for missing the point

 

[SprDaVE]

Definitely, but the right call IMO

Probably the right call.

I think Dubas will be very ready to claim him. Especially since they lost Ludvig on waivers. He loves his guys.

 

[Rare Jewel]

He can still be traded.

RD - NHLer

He can. I probably value him more than most, but it feels like they won't get some interesting enough back for him.

At the risk of setting people off and going against the strong recency bias, I'd package him with Robertson and try to get either a better D or C.

 

[therealkoho]

Engvall on waivers

I'd have him over Pac, but that contract...

Maybe see if we could also get Mik as well and put the band back together!

I mean, a mid-round will do for Kampf, LA, and Colorado is supposedly in need of a 4th line C.

For Jarnkrok, who knows. His deadline value may be a 2nd, but that's quite far away.

I've already floated a fantasy trade with him and Liljegren and Cowan.

 

[therealkoho]

There's probably LTIR things happening to start the season, or heavens forbid a trade. Not sure how they can keep everyone else and sign Lorentz and Pacioretty.

Lorentz over Maxwell that's for sure

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I’d be surprised if Rifai doesn’t carve out an NHL role somewhere. He looks like the perfect bottom pairing guy.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Well, including Cowan is asking for it.


Cowan is part of the reason Robertson is movable for me. He should be in the top 9 next season, and they may get him back when his London season is over.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Probably the right call.

I think Dubas will be very ready to claim him. Especially since they lost Ludvig on waivers. He loves his guys.

Holl is available as well.

It's like black Friday for Kyle.

 

[therealkoho]

I'm trying to change the identifier seeing as Pacioretty is to hard to remember how to spell(its like Rielly for some people) and Max is reserved for Max Domi

If the Leafs sign Maxwell it will be the first time ever any team has ever had two Max's on the same team.

Patches full first name is actually Maximillian

 

[Hellcat]

Reading some of the comments on here, you'd expect the Leafs to be a Lottery team... #positivenation

 

[therealkoho]

Patches full first name is actually Maximilian

Speaking of complicated spellings

 

[Rare Jewel]

There are actually a few guys I'd take a chance on who are on waivers.

Fagemo, Phillips, Pelletier

 

[kevsh]

Engvall is f***ing atrocious. I'd take a 1 legged Patches over him any day.

Cant believe that buttercup got a 8yr contract

The second that deal was signed Pierre won the poll for "Most Likely to be Waived Before the Ink is Dry".

He lasted a tad longer so congrats to him though for making it a full year before the Isles inevitably bailed on him.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I thought it was Maximus. Too bad.

 

[JEI]

I think both will clear.

All Islanders need is for Brodeur and Stevens to be resurrected and then they'll be right on track.

Otherwise, not much winning going on there.

 

[JEI]

The Leafs have 30k of cap space right now, without Pacioretty and Lorentz. If they sign them both to about 1.8M combined, they will need to find more than just Hakanpaa on LTIR.

Dewar has been skating with regulars. Jarnkrok is only day to day and Berube said it wasn't serious. Same for McCabe.

Tre on OverDrive said he was in non-contact and weeks away from playing. He could be an LTIR candidate.

Hey, though, at least that Max got past 1st round,

Had to face a tiger in 2nd, crazy...

 

[Evilhomer]

Good on you for missing the point

No, I didn't miss the attempted point. More just pointing out the poor choice of words. But if you want to believe that losing a 26 year old with 2 NHL games of experience is a material loss, that is your opinion. The team clearly disagrees with it.
