Waived: Dan Cleary (cleared, assigned to GR - changes mind, going to GR)

[WingedWheel1987]

Do I really need to bust out the Friday the 13th gif again? It ain't over till the credits start rolling.

But it's a good start.

 

[TheOtherOne]

finally Philly has a shot at him.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

Helm practiced in full today. Kindl has a decrent chance of returning tomorrow. I really doubt he's coming back up.

I'd love a count of how many times this sentence has been posted on these boards.

 

[Vladdy84]

Are you guys really thinking he won't just nut up and play in the AHL? Dude just seems to love hockey.

He seems to love torturing the Wings fan base.

 

[TouringReg]

I'll always have fond memories of Cleary destroying Phaneuf in round 1 in 2007 and then setting up a goal on the same shift.

 

[SoupNazi]

This just in. Maple Leafs pick up Dan Cleary. Babcock pencils him in at 1C.

"Realgud, baby, realgud."

That said - thanks for the memories, Dan.

 

[DeYarmond Edison]

I'll always have fond memories of Cleary destroying Phaneuf in round 1 in 2007 and then setting up a goal on the same shift.

I'll always have fond memories of Cleary being waved in week 1 of 2015.

What would be the point of waiving him if he's not going anywhere?

it's dan cleary. the defier of logic

 

[Retire91]

Not buying it he's still under contract. He'll be back

 

[Shoalzie]

Thought it was kind of understood that they'd sign him but he'd play in the AHL this year. I'm happy this happening but not surprised.

Yea, I was under the impression this was the end result from the very beginning

 

[Avery Rule]

Toronto claims him and they win the stanley cup, you heard it here first!

 

[hot dog]

It's almost like this was the plan all along!

 

[Syckle78]

There's really no reason to sports hate the guy anymore. Dude helped bring a cup here and get to another finals. If this is his curtain call then thanks for the effort and good luck to ya, clears.

Dude ruined my game watching experience way too often the past 3 years.

 

[Tomas W]

Maybe babs will want him in Toronto

You could be on something!

Gives them the option of sending him out if necessary. Without having to file any more paperwork or wait x days for him to clear.

I'll believe he's going to GR when I see him play a game for the Griffs. Until then, I ain't buying it.

Cleary was a real warrior, always played his lungs out (or at least he did when I watched Wings play). But since his tenancy was his main asset he became irrelevant once he lost his step.

The fact it took so long to waive him is enough evidence to believe he'll play at least 10 games this year in Detroit.

Waived ≠ being sent down or not playing.

 

[Konnan511]

Didn't he knock him silly behind the goal and then quickly pass the puck out front for an easy goal?

 

[SirloinUB]

Waived ≠ being sent down or not playing.

But waivers are the precursor for assignment.

How does A = B ?

 

[Konnan511]

I get that, but I'm confused why the statement wasn't Cleary waived AND sent to the Griffins. Him just being waived concerns me.

It's not simultaneous. You have to clear before you can be assigned. I don't think you can just bypass it even though its like a 0% chance he is claimed.
