Recalled/Assigned: Trevor Smith to the Marlies

[Quares27]

maybe they picked up Pinnizotto off waivers... lol

 

[TML 13]

Not exciting enough. Must be blockbuster.

He's right though, minor trade/no trade at all.

Inb4Giroux

Anything less than Giroux would be a huge disappointment.

Lupul - JVR - Kessel
Raymond - Kadri - Clarkson
Bodie - McClement - Kulemin
McLaren - Giroux - Orr

 

[Mimico]

If a trade is in fact imminent, The Nuge or Couturier would be awesome. It would probably be a guy like J. Stoll though

 

[Asif16*]

There putting gardiner in as a center E4

Would like Stoll- good faceoffs + decent offense

 

[HarrisonFord]

Well there it is. Smithson

 

[WhatASaveDave]

I remember Carter Ashton centering the 4th line for a bit under Ron Wilson in 2012. So maybe management just wanted him and Bodie to have playing time ?

Lupul - Jvr - Kessel
Raymond - Kadri - Clarkson
Bodie - Mcclement - Kulemin
Mclaren - Ashton - Orr

Gunnarson - Phaneuf
Fraser - Franson
Rielly - Gardiner

Bernier
Reimer

Edit: Nvm signed Smithson LOOL

James Mirtle @mirtle
Leafs have signed Jerred Smithson. There's our answer.



makes sense. At least he can win draws. better 4th line option than Smith (probably).

 

[Kingstonian84*]

don't see Nonis running to a trade unless the news on bolland and bozak is horrible ie; bolland out for season.

This post is just! Really Nonis has already said he is looking for a centre according to Dregger, so there goes that theory about not making a trade. Also Bolland is gone for the next few months, losing him is a key blow there's no denying that, so yea he needs to be replaced. Bozak is on LTIR with a hamstring injury, it didn't look that serious on the play but then again he's out for at least 10 games and/or 24 days whichever comes first, losing him stings a bit but Kadri can sub into his role.

 

[shibbiness]

smithson signed

 

[LeafOfBread]

How anti-climactic

 

[zeke]

expect a Steckel-ish type player.

good on draws, pretty big, slow as molasses, competent defensively, no skill.

 

[HarrisonFord]

JVR
Kadri
McClement
Smithson

Then after Bozak is back:
Bozak
Kadri
McClement
Smithson

meh

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Meh, he's good on draws at least and gets Smith off the team, he's garbage

 

[Rare Jewel]

bah...

 

[FlareKnight]

Well that's boring.

 

[Kingstonian84*]

Nothing wrong with that, he can play the 4th line while Mcclement slots into the 3C role, Kadri in the 2C role and JVR slotting into the 1C role, not ideal but its doable for now.

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

WOW he is the singing? Nonis couldnt find anybody better?

 

[JMcLeaf]

 

[TML91]

Smithson being called up on a PTO. I like this a lot brings us a faceoff guy and some grit

Grit? Is he actually a gritty player? I dont know anything about the guy so..

 

[rdawg1234]

so steckel 2.0? you'd think we could get someone a little better....

 

[Kingstonian84*]

Grit? Is he actually a gritty player? I dont know anything about the guy so..

Just checked his stats, he's abysmall offensively but surprisingly gritty! Last year he had 96 hits in 35 games, roughly 3 hits per game on average.
