It appears you are right, as per rule 13.23

13.23 In the event a professional or former professional Player plays in a league outside North
America after the start of the NHL Regular Season, other than on Loan from his Club, he may
thereafter play in the NHL during that Playing Season (including Playoffs) only if he has first
either cleared or been obtained via Waivers. For the balance of the Playing Season, any such
Player who has been obtained via Waivers may be Traded or Loaned only after again clearing
Waivers or through Waiver claim. This section shall not apply to a Player on the Reserve List or
Restricted Free Agent List of an NHL Club with whom the Player is signing an NHL SPC or is
party to an existing SPC with such NHL Club.

A rarity.

fire the players?
- senstroll

Ride it out...make adjustments where necessary.

Firing Carlyle would be doing the exact same thing when we fired Wilson...giving the players an out/excuse for their poopty performance.

fire the players?
- senstroll

Honestly.

Just move the Leafs elsewhere and bring in a new team under a new name.


This team, organization...simply cannot pull it together...they've made so many errors over the past 30 years...and they continue to do so.

Im not GM and neither are you. So neither of us have made the calls to find out.

But the same was said about McCabe, Toskala, Blake etc.
There's always someone!
And if you cant trade your "core" players....move out some supporting ones that havent been successful.

The coach will not be fired until Nonis makes a trade or two for some back end end help. If he cant do that and his back is up against the wall....then I can see the him firing Randy...but not until then.
- Fakepartofme

I agree.

Someone would trade for the likes of Franson.

so no press conference or anything - damn.....(frank)ing Randy.....useless plug.

Leino doesnt make as much

but he also doesnt champion the team water bottles so it works out.
- Dozzer

Leino has to be one of the worst signings in the history of the game

Would Kathy Lee be the assistant coach?
- Atomic Wedgie

Joke all you like. Boston plays the game beautifully.

I agree.

Its been done before....NYR could use him!

i think making trades is not even a short term fix, you just plug the new players into the system and fail on.

desperation trades now tells me Nonis is blind to the huge underlying issues

Lupul Bozak Kessel

Leivo Mckegg Clarkson

Ashton Mcclement Kulemin

he falls into this category i believe, so he can be resigned

Yeah? How about the Flyers? They got a new coach within 3 games and look at them now.

Honestly.

Just move the Leafs elsewhere and bring in a new team under a new name.

Did you read yesterday's article in the Toronto Star about TFC?

Going to drop $100 million to assemble a team that plays in a league with a $3 million salary cap.

I can't wait for this move to turn to turd.

I agree. Clarkson is ridiculous, the scary thing is Van offered more.
- whipper334

Clarkson and Reimer for Luongo?

Clarkson and Reimer for Luongo?

LUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

The flyers have a different make up of players.

This team's core already went through a coaching change a few seasons ago. How many more coaches need to be hired/fired before people start realizing that it's the personnel that's the problem....not the coaching staff...

Honestly.

Just move the Leafs elsewhere and bring in a new team under a new name.

agree on all points

so no press conference or anything - damn.....(frank)ing Randy.....useless plug.
- BlowMonkey

What does he need a press conference for?

"So....the players suck, show no effort, have no pride and arent accountable for anything and I make poor decisions with personel sometimes and cost us"

"But how about that winter classic eh......it was cold"

"Im hungry, can someone get me some toast?"

Clarkson and Reimer for Luongo?
- mykokes

Fair deal!

Yeah? How about the Flyers? They got a new coach within 3 games and look at them now.

but how are they going to play next year

I wanted a press conference announcing they sacked his lame ass.

so no press conference or anything - damn.....(frank)ing Randy.....useless plug.

Honestly, would anyone want to speak to the media based on the last 31 games lol

if you keep making moves to build the team around carlyle, and carlyle's system sucks, (which we know it does) - its out dated - then what? you have already removed grabovski, macarthur, frattin, liles and whos next? reimer?

this team is being gutted because carlyle doesnt like player X,Y,Z
