**** move, he can stay there.

Although he should've been given a chance before the deadline before Lou wasted another pick.

 

[LeafsNation75]

So much for him making the Leafs roster next season.

 

[supermann_98]

I wonder if the team already kind of anticipated this happening, which is why they signed Lindholm

 

[1specter]

Lol he couldn't wait until training camp? [mod]

 

[ToneDog]

Kudos to the poster who sniffed this out earlier this week.

 

[LeafChief]

Not the end of the world but would have been nice to see what he could do at the NHL level.

Do the Leafs retain his rights?

 

[LeafChief]

Kudos to the poster who sniffed this out earlier this week.

For real.

He got a lot of flack for that too.

 

[SprDaVE]

What a weird move for him. I guess he got a lot of money? Really didn't expect it.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Lindholm is going to have to really disappoint to not win the 4C job.

 

[ottomaddox]

I would like to take some credit. I didn't predict this, but he was on the list of "ifs" that many fans can cross off now.

Meh

I don't think he was talented enough to play as a 3C and he wasn't good enough defensively or on draws to play as our 4C

Maybe he could have been our 4th line LW but thats about it

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

kinda unfortunate, but not exactly going to break the team. Hopefully Lindholm or Gauthier can be a good 4C

 

[DraftGuru]

Told you fools he wouldnt be a 4th line player. He knew what was coming. Needs to be somewhat effective in the faceoff dot.

 

[hamzarocks]

Sigh wanted him on the roster. Why wouldn't he wait till camp.

 

[Menzinger]

Shame, but not totally unexpected.

He came over to play in the NHL not the minors.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Tavares or Gauthier in 4C slot

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Shame, but not totally unexpected.

He came over to play in the NHL not the minors.

he probably would have made the NHL this year though. I get why he's pissed though. he should have been our 4c last year, as he's certainly better than Moore

 

[FlyingLeafus]

Maybe he was a Lou guy? Seems like more a tweener than legit NHLer but now I guess we'll never know.

 

[Liminality]

This probably just means he got a really good deal over there. This doesn't mean he didn't want to join the NHL cause he was stuck in the AHL, at least that's how it looks to me.

Just follow the money.

Kudos to the poster who sniffed this out earlier this week.

Yep, all the credit to that poster, I don't want to @ him but he knows who he is, I'll give him credit if he wants though (just PM me) because I think he got some crap about it when he shouldn't have, especially because he was just relaying his experiences/interactions diplomatically.

 

[Kiwi]

Shame, but not totally unexpected.

He came over to play in the NHL not the minors.

I'd say he got offered a crap ton of money as well to go back

I pencilled him in as a potential 4LW on our NHL team but I don't think he's a huge loss

 

[ToneDog]

We now have to look for 2 Cs. I don't like our chances with Par or the Goat as our #4C.

Nylander is still a wildcard.

 

[ToneDog]

Nylander is still a wildcard.

I think he is plan B. I just hope we do not get desperate enough to resign TyBo.
