Disappointing it didn't really work out in Toronto - although I suppose it's silly to say that in the context of less than ten games. Still, didn't distinguish himself at all in what is a pretty pedestrian bottom 6 for the Leafs.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

How many players have the Leafs lost to waivers since Dubas’ tenure began?

 

[Dion TheFluff]

meh. Didn't really fit. clears some space and a roster spot

 

[trick9]

I like it.

We are soft without Wilson.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

How much does this cost Washington in salary not counted against the cap, i’m kinda interested.

Enjoy

Guess he’ll have to hope for the chance to RKO Ovi’s Rocket Richard trophy this year.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Best of luck. Was looking forward to him playing here...just didn't happen.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I tried....but I can't make myself care. It was a thing?

Another dirty player for the dirtiest team. Nice!

 

[Orfieus]

He'll be back on waivers soon enough

Possibly, but with all the Cap's injuries and Lavi loving vets over our own prospects, it's worth a try.

Lol ok enjoy your high horse. I’ve just never heard Toronto being referred to as the dirtiest team. At least not in the past decade.

Ohhhhh my bad. I thought you were referring to the team that got him claimed. That makes much more sense.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Didnt work out for him, good luck to him.

Yeah, I don’t really take much issue with the leafs.

Didn’t realize Doobles gave him a 250k signing bonus and only got 6 games out of it.
MLSE must love that ROI.

Starting to build up a pretty decent jersey collection over the last year or so. Probably lands somewhere else and collects another waiver wire stop off when the Caps start to get healthier and get roster guys back ahead of him on the depth chart.


Seems like a decent 4th liner to me. I wouldn't mind him on my 4th line, but probably wasn't the right fit with a Toronto bottom-6 that's already full of other "utility filler" guys with a bit of skill like him.

Caps - we want al your veteran crap because our idiot coach won't play the young guys.
Smart GM - fire the idiot coach

 

[Breakers]

wow, $250k SB

Good agent to get him that.
