This 3 day break is probably good news for the Leafs ...

...but really bad news for Leaf fans on HockeyBzzzz.

By Wednesday we'll have mapped out the future Simon Gysbers.

Even if Reilly only plays a handful of games with the Marlies, practicing and playing in those few games is still more benifical to this development then sitting on his ass. I mean Moose Jaw has been eliminated, why not bring him up.

I think Reilly gets in quite a few games prior to the NHL trade deadline though, as another poster said, if Reilly preforms well it may show Leafs managment they can afford to move Jake Gardiner. Although I'd like to see Holzer sent down and Gardiner brought up, based soley on there play in the respective leagues.

As for Gardiner not being call up because he has to clear waivers if he's sent down, its not true. Its not like baseball where you have a number of times you can be brought up or sent down. Its based on your contract, Gardiner is still on his entry level contract so he is free to go up an down when the Leafs please. Holzer can also go up an down because he's still playing out his 2way contract. Kostka cannot be sent down without clearing waivers, either can Fraser.

He has 3 more games in the NHL then he would have to clear waivers to be sent back down.

You are mistaken, Gardiner has three games left for waiver exemption, as soon as he plays 3 more games with the Leafs he is waiver eligible.

Why would they want to send him down anyway?

Nice little reward for Kulemin finally scoring - he gets a little vacation on the 4th line.

Is Wilson back to run the practice?

Seriously, the guy will never play in the NHL because he'll be waiver eligible in 3 games?

That's retarded

Just making it clear to the poster that he can't be sent up and down (unless the Leafs screw him around and bring him up and not play him) . Once he is back with the Leafs, he wont be sent down again, imo, only way he is not in a Leaf jersey is if he is traded.

As much as Leafs fans want to engage in conspiracy theory chit-chat, let's be honest: there isn't a spot for him right now.

We already have run and gun guys in the lineup. If you want to take out Holzer or Kostka, you need to put back in a similar guy.

Gardiner isn't going to make enough of a difference to justify upsetting the apple cart right now.

Nothing wrong with him playing a few more games in the A.

That must be why Hamilton (second in AHL scoring) will never be brought back up,

How dare you say that in a Leafs thread.

How dare you!

So Kuli scores and he's moved to the 4th line ?
And Holzer is still with the Leafs and Gardiner is with the Marlies ?

HOLY CRAP ....

The one that hates mundane things like backchecking.

Somebody refresh my memory:

Can we send down Holzer or Kostka without clearing waivers?

Kostka, right?

I actually like this better as the checking line then Grabovski being on it.

That describes both.
