TSN: Marincin, Petan on Waivers

[ottomaddox]

Begs the question: does this clear enough cap space?

 

[ottomaddox]

They need to clear roughly 700k for Hyman to fit in . Say what you will, but with a full line up, they managed to fit everyone under the cap

You answered. Missed this. Sorry.

 

[Teeder Keon]

So who is last to go? Spezza, Timmer or Shore? We should have a vote. Clearly Leafs do not know who it is either?

I hope it’s Shore , just not a fan so far , just don’t see much

 

[Primary Assist]

Marincin probably doesn't get claimed but someone should take a flyer on Petan. Typically players have greater trade value if they clear waivers but I'm not sure that's the case here - since we have no cap space a team could claim Petan and then waive him themselves since they know we can't just reclaim him.

Du bas a favour

 

[Teeder Keon]

Great post. We don't need him stealing Lily and Sandin's minutes. Damn that may be worse than him being up here as the 7th. If he does not get picked up then flat out cut him.

I like MM but man he’s like a nagging cough that persists

I hope its shore.

 

[Loosie]

no trades available for these guys? even for a 7th rounder?

I've seen some comments that teams are willing to wait for the players to clear waivers before a deal happens so that they don't have to claim just to waive them again.

 

[Loosie]

Just so everyone is clear at least one more needs to go. The amount they have to move is less then league minimum so it can literally be anyone.

 

[Burnie97]

Hopefully Marincin is claimed.... enough of that... and probably Shore on waivers next, and he may get claimed.

Lol he better score the Gwg in our scf or be a huge part of it or he will always be in some light a villain.

With that Cap hit, a cup is what you need to bring.

 

[Buds17]

Then there was one. These moves weren't surprising, and both players have been placed on waivers by the Leafs at one point or another previously. Team need situations around the league will partially determine if they clear waivers or not now. Petan having an extra season on his contract could help or hinder that too.

 

[Rude Dog]

Petan is good enough to be on the Leafs. Tima is a fan favourite. I have always like the kid, but he is a dime a dozen player in the NHL. At some point, I would like to see the Leafs give Agostino a shot or even a guy like Marchment. Not the best player on the Marlies, but he can bring a physical element this team simply doesn't have. Would like to try:

Agostino Gauthier Marchment

 

[The Iceman]

spare $217K...WOW

lets spend it
$700K backup goalie out
$917K backup goalie in

 

[thewave]

My guess is Spezza gets axed.

Shore can play both wing and center. Plays with his size more then about anyone on the team.

Timashov has promise and hasn't looked out of place. Would be a mistake to waive him.

4th line of

Moore-Gauthier-Shore/Timashov

Seems about right to me. Really no place for Spezza.

Shore is awful, I don't even want to see what that crap will look like in the PO. No way.

 

[ULF_55]

If Spezza was waived and claimed would he even report?
Estimated career earning: $88,177,926

He might be all but waiver exempt due to his situation.

Unless he wants to go to a rebuilding team ... and why would he?

 

[GoonieFace]

Petan is good enough to be on the Leafs. But it isn't going to happen. Tima is a fan favourite. I have always like the kid, but he is a dime a dozen player in the NHL. Easily replaceable. At some point, I would like to see the Leafs give Agostino a shot. Or even a guy like Marchment. Certainly not the best player on the Marlies, but he can bring a physical element this team simply doesn't have. Would like to try:

Agostino Gauthier Marchment

Most 4th liners are a dime a dozen players. Agostino and Marchment included. Marchment is far too physical for this team.

It depends on if he still has the motivation to play a few more seasons. If he does, just play hard even on a rebuilding team and it will show you are still useful. Maybe make more money next year.

Go Manbrook?

I don't think anyone is too physical for this team, but they just want players, who can play too.

He's what Aaron Loup was with the Jays. They manage to stick around on the roster for no apparent reason

There could always be the chance he finds himself back on a team with playoff aspirations closer to the deadline, far off as that is right now.

If Spezza goes to the Marlies, with Petan, and Marincin, it's his best chance for a Cup. (Calder)

Timashov should not be replaced by two inferior players for physicality. He should stay in the lineup or get traded for a return more valueable than his contribution to our lineup, which right now, is more than a typical dime-a-dozen player provides.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Marincin has been decent for us as a fill in. I wouldn't be upset if he stays in the fold.
