Waived: Travis Boyd (Update - Claimed by Vancouver)

[BrannigansLaw]

I thought he was a good 4th liner. Hope Robertson gets a shot

I don't get it, Dubas signs all these horrible league minimum guys, but they keep getting scooped up by other teams...

 

[Magic Man]

I hope the Leafs don't bring Brooks up only to expose him to waivers. I like him more than the other guys, and would rather he play on the Marlies until there is a more durable spot for him on the roster.

Mind you, if he gets called up, waived and claimed then thats good for Adam Brooks -- which I am all for -- but not so good for the Leafs. He is a younger, maybe better (maybe worse) version of Travis Boyd. He at least has a higher ceiling.

What's the total amount of games he would need to re-qualify for waivers this season since he's already cleared? Definitely don't expose him again, but he could play up to the limit before heading to the Marlies until the playoffs with new additions coming to the forward group.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Too many good players. Oh well.

Glad we're not the ones claiming other teams 13th/14th forwards for our 4th line.

Dubas did a good job loading up on depth forwards in the off season. Unfortunately, this is a consequence of having too many NHL calibre players on the taxi squad.

one team's trash is another team's treasure. Vesey played top6, PP and SO for Canucks in his first game. Boyd will be Canucks 4th line center

Vesey played top 6 here for abit to. Unfortunately he couldn’t provide anything. Wish him the best tho

Players like Vesey and Boyd are perfect depth players to have around in case of injuries and a pandemic so its not surprising these players are being claimed on waivers.

Vancouver is poaching spare parts

Also getting them at 1/2 price and from a division rival

Lmao the canucks are claiming all of our scraps

Remember this for the next time their fans try to compare teams

Yeah, no kidding. Canucks taking all the players the Leafs did not want.

It’s Business

Canucks sticking it to Dubas...I can't see them getting through to playoff, tbh. Other teams have too many games in hand.

 

[sxvnert]

Of course the Canucks claimed him

At least this time around its a useful player.

Taking two contracts and 1.6m off the leafs cap. "Take that Dubas!"

Well, I said that thinking that Dubas probably would have liked both players to pass through unclaimed.

How do you figure given it is only for 1/2 year ??

Not tanking rather being tough to play against

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Too bad I liked Boyd ... but like Engval a little more

 

[Bankerguy]

I'm dieting right now...so yes, i would actually eat that if presented >.<

 

[Bankerguy]

I think the Canucks are getting some players in case they decide to sell off pending UFA's.
They've had calls on Pearson, Sutter and Roussel. I could see them getting some spare-parts for if/when they decide to actually tank. They'll need some bodies to suit up for after the deadline!

 

[Menzinger]

Hey I am here again! This time with asking for a Scouting Report on Travis Boyd.
What can you faithful tell us about him?
Our bottom 6 is probably the worst in the league, so curious what kind of of Travis could fill on the Canucks.
Strengths/weaknesses, etc | How has he played this year?
I appreciate it!

Decent option for the 4th line. Puts in effort and has a bit of puck skills. I'd say a solid replacement level player who can be a bit more when he has puck luck with him

 

[Menzinger]

Benning definitely owes him lol
