Making room to activate Forsberg.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Making room to activate Forsberg.

Possibility of a DMan call-up coming, too, depending on how long Sandy is out.

Rob Blake literally shaking right now, can't believe his luck

I’m starting to get more interested in players who aren’t hitting the waiver wire. Seems like a lot of waiver fodder this season?

Forsberg returning.

We have cap issues so we are constantly shuffling guys around.

 

[Siludin]

If a team is worried about losing the player on waivers after picking him up on waivers, there is no use in picking the player off of waivers.
MacEwen is one of those guys whose value would increase if he clears.
If he can pass up and down to the minors for the rest of the year, a contending team could see value in him if they know they can slide him up and down from the AHL + in and out of the NHL lineup on demand, without risk. He has a nice cap hit too.

I'd take Zack Mac over Nicky D. Come on Danny, make it happen.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Is this the guy who took the slapshot?

No. That was Ridly Greig

No. That was Ridly Greig


LOL

It’s been a while since Battle of Ontario was relevant. That slap shot was the match needed to re-ignite it. Too bad they don’t play again this season.

Hopefully it does.

When the Devils waived Willman yesterday I thought “he’d be better than MacEwan in Ottawa” and kinda hoped they’d grab him and waive MacEwan. Well, half of that works for me.

 

[vandymeer13]

Id take him on the hawks over pretty much anyone in our bottom six.

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

He’ll definitely get claimed. Or he definitely won’t. I give up trying to figure it out. lol.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I do think the Leafs should claim MacEwen though.

He might be marginally better than Reaves. But you already have Reaves.

What’s your rationale?

I like that type of player. I would keep Reaves as well.

 

[biturbo19]

I mean...he's big, cheap, and knows his role. Severely limited role, but he has one nonetheless. You can do a lot worse for a 4th line banger/depth forward/fightpuncher. But you can also do better for not a lot of expense.

 

[Emerica]

Dorion gave him a three year deal, ain’t nonody touching that. He was on waivers earlier in the season too

 

[forsbergavs32]

Guys, this thread is about MacEwen being placed on waivers by Ottawa. Keep it on topic.

Will probably clear.

Lots of teams close to the cap. But yeah, seems like a lot of guys you think will get claimed sneak past waivers this year

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Did some nice things for the Flyers last year in a Bobby Farnham sort of way. But like the Devils the Flyers roster has improved so as there is no slot for him.

Should be a contributor in Belleville.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

His term will probably scare teams off from claiming him. That was a head scratcher signing by Dorion.
