Actually every small team would prefer having guys with a smaller salary than cap hit as it keeps them above the floor while paying less money

I thought Komisarek was waived...hours ago...and that means no trade is possible, right?

the lack of Crispy Crunch removes all credibility from your future posts.

Its gonna cost more than that. Your trading for a guy with high end career numbers and experience. It's probly gonna take grabs, a 2nd rounder and maybe some midling prospect.

Can you guys afford to move Grabo without another C coming back in return?

i hope Kessel gets traded one day from the Leafs just so the endless and unfunny jokes about the trade can finally stop
- S Kaspar Rollins


I'd rather he won the Conn Smythe with the Leafs this year, and then everybody would pretty much STFU




but your way is probably more likely.

yes

Bozak
Kadri
McClement
Komarov/ AHL call-up

or maybe we get a 4th line C coming back, but top 3 would be fine as is.

I would. Making the playoffs is great and all but winning a cup would be better, down the road Grabs won't be there. Kadri is showing he can be a solid 2. Right now you can roll with Bozak for this year and give Colbourne a look. Its not like Grabo leaving will make them lose out on the playoffs anyway.

Yes we all understand this, but the act of waiving the clause was made solely by Komisarek. Without Komi waiving Toronto could not do anything.
- itsalwaysfunny


they could trade him to teams on his list - 15 teams I believe - which he cannot object to a trade.

obviously, though, no trading partners interested

Once the waiver period (48 hours) has passed, they can trade him again. Until that time, he's hanging out there for anyone to take.

It's a lot more streamlined than MLB waivers, where if a player is claimed, the waiving team can choose to remove him from waivers and potentially work out a deal with the claiming team.

Ah, I get it...he needed to waive his NTC/NMC so he could get demoted to the AHL. But obviously he's hoping another team picks him up.

Mine is more like:
1)Snickers
2)Oh Henry
3)Eat More
4)ButterFinger
5)Crunchie

Reese's is good but I usually can't eat more than 1 or 2 before I get sick of the taste. Other notable mentions are Mars, Twix, Kit-Kat and Caramilk

It's the timing that makes this a story, IMHO. The Leafs needed to clear a roster spot yesterday for Gardiner, but they sent down Holzer. Why didn't they approach Komisarek about waiving the NMC then? (Or why didn't Komisarek approach the Leafs; whichever way you think it happened.) Given that they don't play until tonight, there was time to make the move.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not buying Ek's typical "WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE'S FIRE!!!" (I abhor the cliché.) But it at least seems like Nonis is giving himself options.

- tryan83


Because then we'd still have 8 D-Men up...
Gotta get it down to 7 so we can have more flex in the forwards.
Plus the Komisarek situation needs to be dealt with anyways.
