Waived: Marincin on waivers (Update - Clears and will go to the Marlies).

[tokyoite]

I will laugh if the oilers claim him.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Still no clue why Justin Holl is on this roster.

Marincin is a better player. Has looked good in the 9ish games he's played this year.

Holl scores two goals last year, and is apparently a roster lock despite barely playing this year lmao.


I ain't mad if Marincin gets claimed, but I find it odd we are dumping better players with NHL experience for a player that Babcock clearly has no interest in playing on our NHL roster. (Nor should he IMO)

Based on holls excessive amount of sample size you came to this conclusion! I would personally like to see him play some first

 

[deletethis]

Not crazy about either Holl or Marincin but Marincin is considerably better (and more versatile) than Holl. And has played 187 career NHL games to Holl's 4 and he's even a month younger.

 

[Its not your fault]

I think he slips by and all is well.

 

[Myopic]

Good to take that temptation off of Babs table for good.

When is the Goat going to be cut? I don't think I've ever seen him get to the puck first or win a puck battle. He stinks.

 

[diceman934]

Watching Holl with the Marlies his skating to me looked above average, certainly of NHL calibre, his draw back is the same as many Leafs players his lack of physicality is his downfall, doesn't win battles along the boards. It's obvious Dubas likes him because he's not being waived.

Lol. He has below average feet. Straight away skating is fine. Transition skating is not and seeing as how D man need to tradition all the time he is not able to skate at the NHL while defending which is a big issue.

 

[smitty10]

I think he was put on waivers instead of Holl because management believes someone will give him a shot. I could see Arizona or a team that will be selling off some players taking him and adding depth.

Hoping we can keep him as an insurance policy though.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

he cleared

 

[Warden of the North]

You mean someone didnt claim Marty?

Shocked. Shocked I say.

 

[Hoverhand]

He's a great defender at the AHL level, im pretty happy about this.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Not even Edmonton claimed him hahaha

Oh wait Chia isn’t their GM anymore

 

[Bomber0104]

Really hoping for another Stephen Burtch article telling us how all NHL GM's are wrong about not picking up Marincin, how he's a top pairing defenceman, and how we're all biased about how bad he is.

 

[The Iceman]

If Marincin was an equal player but was a RHD he would have been claimed IMO. I have never noticed such a league wide RHD shortage. or maybe its an increased awareness being a Leaf fan and our black hole on the right side.

Well, I guess you'll have to find something else to laugh at.

The thing is that Marincin can play the right side as well as the left side. You'd think that was more valuable than physical handedness.

There's always going to be a right hand shortage because there are so many more left hand shot amateurs (about 70% I think).

 

[DarkKnight]

He will help the Marlies. Where he belongs.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm happy he didn't have to relocate any where. He is likely going to be a career AHL Player and there is no better place to do that than with the Marlies.

 

[Keon1963]

I believe Marincin going unclaimed twice is a definitive statement that he is not even a depth NHL defenceman. Sad to note that Holl is even worse. I thought Ottawa would claim Marincin; he would be in their Top 4!

 

[Ciao]

I am surprised he wasn't claimed.

Good chance he sees the door close and goes home.

 

[Boutette]

You thnk he earns 800K a year playing in Slovakia?

 

[taurine330]

I am surprised he wasn't claimed.

Why would he? If he gets to play with Marlies. Not many teams in Europe have the same resources as Marlies do.

 

[Warden of the North]

HES A TERRIBLE NHL HOCKEY PLAYER. He is not good enough to play at this level. He is not worth the roster spot at even a 7th dman.

I am actually SHOCKED that anyone is surprised he made it through waivers.

 

[mapleleafs34]

This one is interesting to me. He looked fine in the few games he played.

I wonder if something is in the works... or am I reading into something that isn't there?

Can I have what you're on?!

 

[SprDaVE]

Can I have what you're on?!

Sure... you want my eyes too? Seems like you need a new pair of those.
