He's injured as well I believe. He's not gonna help

You cant waive an injured player, so if he was on waivers he is healthy.

How much did this cost the Jets?!?!?

But how much did the waiver wire pick up cost in $$$$?

I could tell you, but I don't want to steal uncleben's thunder.

Ah shoot. I'm slippin'

For those interested, this cost Winnipeg $41,250, paid to Toronto and not counted against the cap.​

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Knowing the Jets, Chevy probably called Brooks' mom to make sure this was okay first.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

He might as well keep the suitcase packed for when he ends up claimed by Manchester United next week

He's too good for Man U.

Something borrowed, something blue.
Something old, and something new.

He might get a record for most NHL teams in a season. But he's a solid pick-up considering he works hard. I think if he was on the Coyotes he might just be leading them in scoring.

Winnipeg always gets Vegas' sloppy seconds, Toronto doesn't count a second time because not only was he already there, but he was there for a smigin.

all these GMs trading him around and waiving him and claiming him...

Has anyone stopped to think about what Brooks wants? What his needs are?

Shame on all of you

I guess he's like any other hockey player and wants an 8 year contract with a $12million cap hit.

The most wanted man in the NHL. But not wanted enough to keep on the roster.

If I were him I'd take the world tour & NHL salary over going unclaimed & getting an AHL salary.

You think he can play CB? They could use one of those

That's not how it works in professional sports, lol.

Just so we can put to bed the crazy Leaf fan theory that this was all just to spite the Leafs and that Brooks wouldn't play because he was hurt, Brooks was practicing with the team today and it appears he will make his Jets debut tomorrow playing on the 2nd line with Connor and PLD. No Conspiracy to be had.

 

[Do or Die]

The fact that he is starting on the 2nd line says plenty about the current state of the Jet roster......

3 top 9 fowards currently injured and none of the bottom 6 players they tried moving onto the 2nd line have worked. The team is struggling so they are trying anything at this point.

You cant waive an injured player, so if he was on waivers he is healthy.

You can put an injured player through waivers, you just can't send them down. The Jets just activated him off the IR today.

 

[uncleben]

Must be an explanation coming…..

You can be placed on waivers if injured.

You cannot be reassigned to the minors if injured, though, unless there is medical clearance (CBA 13.6) and if a player is waived while injured, claimed, and fails their physical with their claiming team, the claiming team can, if they want, reverse the waivers and send him back (CBA 13.20).
