Doesn't suck that bad. Sounds like he's going directly to Anaheim, where he'll play a lot.Sucks for Lagesson. He was playing well and I'm surprised he was waived in the first place.
Dude played in 30 games and had 14 TOI...He was also DNP'd for like 2 months straight. he'll get a chance to play in ANA.Why? Because they care about players?
I don't think too many players in the NHL would be happy to be waived and claimed by a non-playoff team right before the deadline.
way too difficult for leafs fans to understand.Doesn't suck that bad. Sounds like he's going directly to Anaheim, where he'll play a lot.
Always, no.Leafs players always get claimed, am I right?
Its a competitive league with paying costumers. Hardly "no reason"Unfortunate for him. Might have played his first playoff game this year.
Unless the Ducks are planning to flip him they just screwed him for no reason. He’s a UFA in the summer anyway.
That's true. He loses out on possible playoff experience but definitely ends up with more playing time.Doesn't suck that bad. Sounds like he's going directly to Anaheim, where he'll play a lot.

You made a dumbass comment about Anaheim 'screwing' him, when it was Toronto who put him up on waivers for the league to take.
Yeah, he probably would have preferred to stay in TO even knowing he might be healthy scratched for most of the playoffs. But going to Sunny California and getting more ice time isn't the worst thing and might help him with his next contract.
Why is that a dumbass comment?
He could have been claimed by a playoff team also but the waivers prioritize bad teams first. If San Jose claimed him, I would have said the same thing.
Playing the rest of the season for the draft lottery isn't appealing for most athletes.

A Leafs fan acting like their team has never been at the bottom of the standings before. lolI didn't say the Leafs were the ideal spot.
Just Anaheim being at the bottom of the standings had priority waiver order. I suspect other teams put in a claim also - but the priority goes to the worst team that claims him first.
Because Anaheim isn't screwing him or Toronto or anyone, theyre trying to improve their team and they claimed him. There is nothing more to it.
The Leafs shouldn't have put him on waivers if they didn't want to potentially lose him.

The team better for what? I think that's the opposite of their goal.
Yes, a professional sports team is trying to improve and get better...I know, earth shattering
They aren't catching the Blackhawks or Sharks in any hypothetical tank race if you're insinuating they should be actively trying to lose games (which doesn't really happen either).
Have you not paid attention to the deadline? Ducks sold and now need to fill roster spots. Look, I think I know what's going on here. Don't worry, Divine. Anaheim is a nice place to live and play hockey. Good weather, lots to do, you'll probably like it a lot here while your dad plays hockey for the Ducks. Give it a chance, bro!If they wanted to make their team better they shouldn't have sold at the deadline. Seems counterproductive.
