Confirmed with Link: [BOS->TOR->FLA] TOR Claim Seth Griffith| Nov 11: Leafs Waive Griffith, claimed by FL

[Stephen]

Thought he looked really good and energetic in the limited outings he had with us. I can think of more sluggish Leafs who I wouldn't mind waiving.

 

[egd27]

Did he get picked up yet?

 

[DopeyFish]

Did he get picked up yet?

you find out tomorrow at noon

 

[colchar]

Though Babcock isn't a normal coach - he's an 8 million dollar a year man.

He's going to be the most influential coach in the league as a result

Do you really think Lou gives a damn? He isn't going to be pushed around by anyone.

 

[egd27]

you find out tomorrow at noon

Oh they don't announce one way or the other until noon the next day? I thought that was only if he cleared.

 

[remer]

Do the Bruins pick Seth back up now that he is on waivers?
The rules state:
Once a team claims a player from waivers, it may not trade that player unless it first offers him to any other teams who made waiver claims for him. If the claiming team places the player on waivers in the same season and his original team claims him, the team may send the player to the AHL without placing him on waivers again unless he meets the criteria for waiver expiration below.

He at least would be a player for Providence and provide some scoring.

Babcock: But Lou, I make more money than you!
Lou:

Seriously though. Babs pay gives him swagger with the players. Now the players don't think hey I make 3 times your salary and just tune the coach out.

Most teams don't reclaim, so no.

Good luck to him. He didn't have a future here and would have been nothing more than a waste of contract space and a blocker for people to get in. Not good enough for top 9 role on a contender, but not big enough to be a 4th liner.

He was a free pick up too, so it's not like we lost anything here either... In fact we gained money (which isn't huge for us, but still), roster space and contract space, so it's addition by subtraction really.

Florida is a good team, and he got to make some money and play some real games with a big time local team. Maybe it was only 3 games, but it's like a hyped-up PTO.

Ciao Seth! It was a great ride. You will not be forgotten.... said no one ever.

Ciao Seth! It was a great ride. You will not be forgotten.... said no one ever.

I was extremely happy to get him and am legitimately saddened to see him go. Best of luck to you Seth!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Good luck Seth.

 

[Budsfan]

I was hoping he would pass through waivers and we could assign him to the Marlies.

 

[Twist and Shout]

As you become a team stocked with young talent, sometimes you will have to make moves like this which you normally wouldn't have been forced to make..you just hope that none of these guys come back to sting you!

Griffith will be fine. he should find a home somewhere.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Wow I guessed yesterday that Florida would pick him up.

Good guess!

 

[saltming]

I stand corrected.
I wouldn't have minded him on the marlies but even there I think he would have been buried by the depth there.

 

[uncleben]

so dumb. Better AHL ppg than Brown, Leipsic, and Leivo.
I wouldn't necessarily take him over them, but taking Ben Smith over Griffith is just dumb.

oh well, nothing to do now.
best of luck in FLA

I have to wonder: are Lou and Babcock even on the same page? Lou picks up guys on waivers and Mike is not playing them.

 

[hotpaws]

Didn't understand why we claimed him, would rather give our own kids a shot . I'm glad someone picked him up and freed up a contract slot.

 

[meefer]

Never wishing a player bad luck, but we're talking about a fringe 4th liner. Why the angst?

We already Panik'd once?

It was a Hunter suggested player - and yes based everything you can glean from Babs, he and Hunter are very much on the same page.

 

[Menzinger]

Panthers gain is the a leafs loss.

He is likely already a better player than as th (one of the absolute worst possession players in the entire NHL) when he's given a chance to prove it.
