Proposal: Should we claim Leipsic?

[Vachon23]

Even without the problems my answer would be no

 

[OldCraig71]

No?

Hey man, don't let it bother you, Bergie apologists will stop at nothing to discredit those that question anything from their supreme leader, welcome to the club.

 

[LaP]

Why would we claim a generic 4th liner?

 

[LaP]

I’m guessing that he isn’t worth the bad press.
I didn’t read the message but I doubt that it is stuff I haven’t hear or that multiple player have said before... So unless it something disturbing or criminal... the only thing that care about is if he was a clear upgrade on what we currently have... If the answer is no or that it isn’t a significant upgrade than it is a easy pass.

The answer is a clear no. If Ovechkin post what Leipsic posted Ovechkin he is still a capital. Heck if Vrana post this he's still a capital. Capital's GM simply has other things to care about than a generic 4th liner that can be found pretty much anywhere. It was simply not worth wasting his time i would not be surprised if he did not even bother to check the posts. If caps did not bother we should not either.

 

[De Montreal]

He's not even a good player. I mean if it was a top-4 dman or something like that, maybe it would be worth it to bring a douchebag into the team... but Leipsic is not even good.

 

[Habs76]

But, why?

 

[Newfoundland]

He's not even a good player. I mean if it was a top-4 dman or something like that, maybe it would be worth it to bring a douchebag into the team... but Leipsic is not even good.

What would your thoughts be on saying signing Voynov then?

 

[Edgy]

On waivers, could be an upgrade for our 4th line. Cheap contract

Which 4th line?

 

[MXD]

WWWHHHYYy?

 

[CHfan1]

What would your thoughts be on saying signing Voynov then?

For me that’s an even harder pass.

 

[BLONG7]

187 games in the league on 5 different teams, he's a perfect reclamation project.

Bergie: "You no, we like what we see in lippy, he is a good kid".

Bergie supporters on HF Habs: "I can't believe that people are upset about this, it cost us nothing"

Bergie haters/realists: " How many of these guys do we need?

Bang on!! More rinse and repeat!! MB is da man!!

If he was any good he would not even be on waivers...

 

[Treb]

Not better than Weal and Byron. I think Evans also does better than him next year. So he would be our 13th fwd and that is before any signing. We can do better than him.

 

[DAChampion]

NM.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Definitely not. MB would never do it either. He's high on character. Leipsic is a complete tool. He's done in the NHL. Good riddance.

 

[Fixxer]

While I couldn't view the actual Instagram video, you basically need a "perfect" reputation to get to Montreal. I don't think he gets claimed here...

 

[Just Linda]

With the glut of prospects needing contracts, we are too close to the 50. No thanks on claiming him, there's better UFA/RFA options out there

 

[Le Tricolore]

We don't need a thread dedicated to this doofus. Closed.
