Claimed off Waivers: [SJS] Ryan Dzingel claimed off waivers by the Sharks from the Maple Leafs

[Gstank]

Leafs are just a wicked team ....everyone wants to emulate them, I get it.

Yes we all want to get kicked out in the first round of the playoffs every year....

Sorry I had to

 

[Leaf Fans]

Somebody had better check if our Zamboni driver is waiver eligible or not, this is getting serious

He is not.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Clifford and Ritchie didn't.

Clifford was waived by St Louis, but Ritchie didn't.

 

[Leaf Fans]

So much for that trade.

This is a waiver claim.

 

[Gecklund]

It would be funny if the Sharks trade Dzingel to a contender and he wins the cup.

I think right now the idea is he will likely be playing with Couture so if he doesn’t suck then I could see someone taking a risk on him for a low pick.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

This is a waiver claim.

Well... San Jose would win because the Leafs could've traded him again and got something. San Jose took him and might get something out of him.

Canucks would have to make the playoffs first

His facial expression is just perfect as a reply to that

I don’t understand how every single waived player by Toronto is claimed

At the same time the Leafs fans think that every single player waived by TML and which clears can then be traded for assets

 

[uncleben]

i think the only player the leafs have waived to not be claimed was ritchie lmao

A bunch of our Marlies guys cleared at the start of the year

Cleared
Claimed

In order:
Kivihalme, Hutchinson, Anderson, Dahlstrom, Menell, Seney, Biega, Gabriel, Brooks, Amadio, Semyonov (unconditional), Ritchie, Brooks, Dzingel

Might not seem like a lot, but this is the first time since I've been tracking that a team has lost a player on waivers 4 times in one season, and we've still got a month to go before the deadline

 

[Leaf Fans]

Well... San Jose would win because the Leafs could've traded him again and got something. San Jose took him and might get something out of him.

That us a possibility. It depends. The Leafs valued the contract spot and cap space more than the player.

Noice

 

[HabsQC]

Is it only me who thought Dzingle could actually be good in Toronto (ala Galachenyuk) and this could be an actual loss for Toronto, even if it's a small one

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

This guy's asking the real questions, for those interested.

Man Bear Pig, are you mocking uncleben?!

For those interested, this cost San Jose $13,125, paid to Toronto and not counted against the cap.

 

[EastVillageBlues]

wow, sharks only doing this out of spite...

Haha;

More like they are doing Dubas a favour.

 

[Ciao]

Kind of shows how bad Leafs management is that they're not getting assets for guys other teams want. . .

Tell me, what did the Habs get for Adam Brooks when Vegas wanted him?

 

[7even]

He has been a Leaf for 30 hours total

That's the joke. It's a pretty good one.

 

[Srsly]

I actually sort of liked the idea of seeing what he could do as a depth player in Toronto. That said he wasn’t on my radar until the trade happened so I’m not super hurt.

This probably isn’t a bad pickup for the sharks to be honest, he’s a decent 29 year old NHL player with some veteran qualities who had a few good seasons with the Senators. If he gets ice time and opportunities he could bounce back.

Definitely not just you, I think the Leafs missed out on this one.

 

[fasterthanlight]

if he does well in SJ, maybe we can trade dzingel at the deadline for a free 5th rounder.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Or better yet, a 7th rounder!

joe pavelski approved

 

[HockeyVirus]

Definitely not just you, I think the Leafs missed out on this one.

And who should they lose off their roster to give a guy who can't stay healthy a chance? Engvall is one of our best Pkers and brings size even if he is inconsistent in using it, and the other option is losing toughness in Simmonds is the only other guy. Sandin and Liljegren could go down but they are solid NHL dmen and not AHLers, and are both better than Dermott and Holl.

Not worth losing a piece for an injury prone player who hasn't been good in a while.

 

[CupfortheSharks]

I think the Sharks are going to trade Barabonov and Cogliano at the deadline and will have plenty of ice time available. Much like they did with Barabonov last year, Dzingel will get a tryout and if he plays well enough they will sign him to a cheap one year deal.

 

[BillR10]

Haha;

More like they are doing Dubas a favour.

Can't see how this is a favor to Dubas. Depth player that has a minimal cap hit the rest of the year. Dubas tried to bury him in the minors so that A) he wouldn't count against the cap and B) be available for the leafs as a depth piece in case of injuries. If he didn't want to keep he probably could have gotten a 7th for him. The only thing Dubas gained was a contract slot.

This was a great move by the sharks. Its obviously not a cup winning move but they have a lot of cap space they won't use and this gives them a depth forward they need for 13k.
