I really wanted him! Awesome.

A centre with those stats in the AHL is damn interesting.

 

[rumman]

wow, surprised by this, someone gets sent done now for sure.

 

[SprDaVE]

I called it. You're all welcome.

Hunter knows him very well. Skilled player that is capable of playing center. Not sure where he'll slot in the lineup though.

 

[leafsfan1234]

Wow did this guy ever tear up the AHL last year. Looks like Leivo is gone?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

HELL YEA! I like this move quite a bit ! WOot!

[TLeafsFan]

That's a bit of a head scratcher...

Pulkkinen to MIN.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

So happens? Leivo to IR, Laich down to Marlies and Prust released from PTO?

Then Holland on waivers when Leivo comes back?

EDIT: Oh I thought he was center.

 

[Mckay]

Where does he fit in our lineup?

 

[AngryScotsman]

Former London Knight, good numbers in the AHL and an Ontario boy to boot. Worth a shot...

 

[ToneBone03]

I said that Griffith would be the only player we'd claim if we did, in fact, claim one. The fact that the guy tore apart the AHL last year AND he's a former Knight were all indicators. Now...what's going to go down?

 

[Warden of the North]

A little strange.

Ok.

 

[ObscureAlien]

like this move

Leivo likely goes on the IR. Laich goes down. Griffith is the new 13th forward. That would be my take on it.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Well, we can't lose this transaction with Boston.


Welcome Seth.

 

[taurine330]

Leafs didn't waive anyone today. Opening day roster to be submitted in less than 5 hours.

 

[Cor]

Leivo isn't on waivers either.


So looks like Leivo will be on IR, and Laich will be sent down after all

 

[Doc300c]

Can he play 4th line C?

 

[ToneBone03]

Leivo likely goes on the IR. Laich goes down. Griffith is the new 13th forward. That would be my take on it.

Sounds like a plan to me! Love it.

 

[KGL]

Looks like a good move, will be interesting to see where he slots in. I'd expect he's more likely to play wing.

Maybe we'll pull a Corrado again and have Griffith as the extra man most nights, only letting him get into the lineup every once and awhile. Wouldn't be surprised.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Sure.
(though i'd thought we'd go with Pulk. meh).

Mark Hunter likes Seth Griffith.

Mike Babcock obviously didnt feel the same way about Pullkinen.

When you have guys who know the players I think you can understand the decision

I heard Pulk was benched quite a bit under Babcock.

 

[SprDaVE]

Can he play 4th line C?

He was drafted as a center and he's got skill, so probably.
