Confirmed with Link: Maple Leafs re-sign Martin Marincin to 1-year, $700k contract

[Ratboy]

Hutchinson signing has been known for a few days now and there's already a thread for it, was just made official today though.

My bad then. I haven't been around here keeping tabs on things

 

[Cor]

Yeah, okay.

You act like we signed him to play 20 minutes. He's probably going to bounce between the AHL and NHL. Oh no the horror.

Marincin was fairly decent in the 20ish games he played.

Not a regular. But a body in the press box or in the AHL for league minimum? Gotta stretch to think that's bad lol

More depth the better IMO

When we were playing .400 hockey? I feel blessed.

 

[Pinto]

C’mon....

 

[MSZ]

Every team have their press box guys so I don't see what is the problem with this.

If the Marlies Dmen are ready to take away spots come September, you won't even see him on the season opening roster anyway.

Exactly. You don't want to sit a kid in there and ruin his development. Marincin is what Marincin is. He's a league minimum option to watch the games from the press box. I swear some people just like to be upset lol

 

[Cor]

The Leafs played .400 when he wasn't in the lineup as well.

Marincin doesn't have an affect on the results. Which is why he's maybe our 8th or 9th guy on our depth chart and making league minimum.

I don't think anyone here is buying a Marincin jersey any time soon, but he's making league minimum and is a body.

 

[Myopic]

So he's bringing the band back together again...Is 70 year old Ron Hainsey next to sign?

 

[ULF_55]

Solid extra body.

Expect a couple more of these signings.

 

[Buds17]

Somewhat surprised by this, but it's really no big deal. I guess Dermott's injury creates an opening until he's ready to return though (I'm not necessarily thinking that Marincin makes the opening lineup to start).

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

LOL, he's terrible. Why on earth would they waste precious cap space on this plug? He has utterly failed each and every time they gave him an opportunity. Brutal.

 

[justafan22]

I swear to god if Marincin and Holl are part of the top 6 opening night.

 

[Joey Hoser]

Fire Dubas forever

He's a 700k depth player who may or may not even play. f***in' cry about it.

 

[FlareKnight]

It's a thing. Marincin is a physical body that can slot in on the bottom pairing in a crisis. A very minor thing, but noteworthy.

 

[Dragao6]

That fact that maricin keeps staying in our organization scares the heck out of me

Hopefully he only plays on the marlies

How many teams want to pay their AHL guys $700k? Waiver protection.

 

[Myopic]

He'll play more than you think with Dermott likely out until November.

As little as it means to the team, the reality is there are probably a lot better options laying around the league then him. Did he not basically sink us vs Boston two years ago? The guy was and is a tire fire.

 

[ULF_55]

LOL, he's terrible. Why on earth would they waste precious cap space on this plug? He has utterly failed each and every time they gave him an opportunity. Brutal.

Unless he's on the team he doesn't impact cap space. If he's on the team they absolutely need him.

There's depth already though. Rosen, Borgman, Holl. They've added Kivihalme and there's some UFA's that could help.

It is a depth signing, but if you asked most people 15 minutes ago "would you re-sign Marincin?", there likely wouldn't have been many supporting it.

 

[justafan22]

Borgman and Kovkilhame are ahead of him.

And he damn well shouldn't take time away from youngsters in the AHL.

Bad signing.

 

[AllDay28]

One-way contract.

oh noo he has to pass thru waivers.

 

[al secord]

He was the best available Martin Marincin and we got him for league minimum. Good piece of business I'd say.

Too bad they can't draft defenders, or develop them, or sign them as free agents.

Rosen will be in our starting 6.

Kivihalme will be with the Marlies.

Borgman and Marincin will be competing for the 4LD spot. The other will be with the Marlies.

It's literally a harmless signing
