Waived: Nick Shore || Claimed by the Winnipeg Jets

[RomanianLeafs]

Good, awful player

 

[DarkKnight]

Last two 26's with Leafs, Par Lindholm and Shore. Big shoes to fill for the next player.

How long do you think it will take before the inevitable "Was waiving Nick Shore another Dubas blunder?" thread pops up once Shore scores his first goal in the Peg?

Winnipeg sure loves our failed fourth line center experiments.

First Lindholm. Now Shore.

Gonna pre-order my Frederik Gauthier Jets Jersey

Those guys were hardly even centers for us. Gauthier was the 4C for much of their time.

inevitable

 

[LeafsNation149]

Didn't they take our last 4C dump as well? Lindholm?

I presume a spare dman for the road trip

They shouldnt have to call him up. Just stash him in the hotel. If anyone asks he's healthy scratched on the Marlies and just taking a trip to Banff to go skiing.

Just a coincidence that he showed up 5 minutes later when someone got hurt.

Marchment sent to marlies too today. Things are clearing out

There's literally no down side though. We're using LTIR so we don't accrue, we had the roster spot open and Marincin is a 1 way contract so he gets the say cheque for that day regardless if it's on the Marlies or the Leafs. Literally nothing changes.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

See ya OMG thank god we got lucky there

Not sure he ever got a fair shot in Toronto, and I'd like to have seen him stick around with the Marlies, but with his history of strong underlying numbers, it's understandable he was claimed, and I'm not too worried that we don't have better options available.

Still, under Babcock, he was given some of the toughest usage in modern NHL history, taking pretty much all defensive zone starts against any given competition. Somehow his line, despite being massively outchanced and attempted, pretty much tread water in terms of actual goals...and he did his job of winning a lot of faceoffs.

With Keefe, he got one game, with like 5 minutes of ice-time and scored a goal. But Keefe knows, trusts, and likes his Marlies guys (Goat, Engvall, Timashov, Petan, etc), and it wasn't ever likely Shore would keep a spot over them.

Best of luck to him in Winnipeg.

Yep, in the trade that brought us Petan, also sent down today.

 

[inthe6ix]

playing him ahead of spezza in game 1 was a joke

enjoy the peg

 

[Stand Witness]

Winnipeg play a big heavy physical game so Shore fits their style of play well.

That’s exactly how I would describe him too!

 

[AndyWozniewski]

Thank God

 

[Dragao6]

Does this give us any cap relief??

Allan Stanley was way better 26

 

[pucksakes666]

When is another team going to claim Marincin ?

[Eye Test]

Good, he didn’t have a spot on this style of team.
