Injury Report: Mrazek Groin Injury

[Menzinger]

As frustrating as this is. May be a mixed blessing that his final game of the season was actually a good one.... Especially when it comes to potential trade discussions

 

[Steven1562]

Damn that sucks for Mrazek. He was just getting his mojo back and then this happens.

 

[vpasla1]

If absolutely necessary, they could trade for another goalie, but they wouldn't be able to play in the playoffs. (unless there has been some rule change this season)

If a player is on a team's reserve list at the trade deadline, they cannot play for another team, regular season or playoffs.

The only way it would work is the Leafs could sign a UFA to be a goalie for the regular season, but they would not be eligible for the playoffs.

It's unfortunate Mrazek went down just when he was starting to play well, and we have 15 games in April, so it would have been nice to see both Campbell and Mrazek get into a groove. However, if Campbell and Kallgren can give us average goaltending, it should be a good month.

It's Leafy, but probably for the best, Soup and Kally it is

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This dude is softer than melted butter they need to find a way to terminate his contract, the good news is regardless of how Campbell does they will be in the market for a goalie and will actually be forced to address it because Marazek CAN NOT be back

and Campbell has been awful since December so even if he comes back and does OK I wonder if they bring him back and if they do does he get backup money?

 

[Leaf Army]

Lots has been made of Leafs goaltending issues obviously.

But going into the playoffs we’ll have five goalies on the roster who have had at least one NHL shutout in the past two seasons.

We don’t need them all to be healthy and playing well at the same time. Just one of them. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.

 

[barilko05]

Yes , Yes it doe's as much hate as he gets around here he has 2 rings and our goalies have how many ? Is there even 2 rings in the locker room ?

3 actually. Muzz has 1, Clifford has 2,

 

[fancy lad]

not at all bummed out that we won't see him again this year. Hopefully he's played his last game with the LEafs.

 

[Pinto]

Sucks to lose the depth I guess (God knows we’ve needed it this year) but honestly I feel a lot more comfortable with Kallgren in net.

 

[colchar]

I heard they switched over to scholarships and cafeteria vouchers ?

Well considering where they play, that would make sense.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Good luck to Mrazek on whatever team he ends up on in summer .. way to injury prone to have as a backup here .. i have have said many times wish it was only a 1 year deal NOT 3 .. now it is gonna cost us a pick to move him but oh well "it is what it is"

Imagine if there was a way to opt out of an underperforming players contract... Man I hate how NHL contracts are structured.

ANOTHER judicious signing by the wiz kid Mrazek was injured most of last year and was rewarded with a ridiculous contract

 

[Hextallent63]

holy moses you guys cant catch a break, he had a couple good games........good luck.

only way that ever happens with the nhlpa is if said player gets the remaining money on his contract, or at least a huge % of it. and if that where the case teams would try to take advantage of it like the ltir loophole.

I agree.

I think if a player clears waivers there should be a reduced buyout rate or maybe some kind of cap relief.

Teams shouldn’t be punished for giving out big contracts. You’d think even the NHLPA would agree with that.

 

[Stinger8]

If they send him to the minors next year is his salary on our cap, a portion of it???

how are teams punished for signing big contracts ?

we save about 1.2m by sending him to the minors

 

[Gary Nylund]

Forgot about the Muzzin aspect.

I really hope Jack Campbell‘s rib injury is what was affecting his play

we don’t even need or will expect .935 Campbell.

Just need like .912 or better lol

That we're hoping for .912 says a lot about how desperate our situation is. I still can't get over how many people are blaming Campbell for our playoff loss last season and he put up .934 FFS.

Terrible news anyhow. It's Campbell or bust now, I mean never say never but the idea of one of our other guys being able to help us win is your basic run of the mill pipe dream.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Kallgren has been really good. Are people expecting our goalie to have a 999.99% Save pct?

 

[trellaine201]

Should be like the NFL. No guaranteed contracts.

Only 16 wins for the Cup

Can you provide a link for that. Everything I'm reading indicates that a trade could occur and a player is regular season eligible, just not playoff eligible.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Sad season. Hope he gets well soon, regardless of the teams plans for him moving forward.
