The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

[BG]

I wouldn't be surprised to see a team like Edmonton pick him up - he's been bad, but still better than 40% of what Edmonton roster's on a nightly basis.

MIMSY WAIVED

Can 2022 get off to worse start? I am with Presto - the sheer comedy value is worth the cap hit.

 

[hockeylover]

Maybe I'm just missing someone crappy but it feels like every single Leaf we've put on waivers lately gets picked up. Mind you, the cap hit's bigger here.

 

[zeke]

It was the only move of course.

I'm actually happy if he gets claimed or if he clears.

 

[Preston]

The problem with the comedy bit is it's only funny when they're still crushing teams. When they start losing, that's when I turn on the guy. I'm glad we're leaving this relationship amicably because it could have gotten ugly between us if the team had a cold streak and he was taking a regular shift being a big ol' useless oaf. Kind of like early in the season. I started liking him when the Leafs started crushing teams.

With that said, he still may have a future with the team so I'm not gonna shut the door entirely yet.

Also gotta give it to dubes - its nice that the guy in charge can admit mistakes, and not compound them with more mistakes due to ego.

Calgary also employs another Ritchie brother - maybe they snag Nick off the wire.

 

[zeke]

Dude has 1 goal in 30 games and is making $3.3m next year. It's a REALLY tough sell IMO.

it would have to be a team that only really cares about caphit, not real money. which is probably most of them, tbh.

I wonder if this was even a move that Dubas necessarily pushed for at the time. Didn't feel like it was to me at the time. Either way, yeah good to see.

 

[zeke]

Ritchie ends his time as a Leaf (maybe) as the only regular Leaf to manage to post a negative xGF% this year, at 49.6%.

The next closest are Kase at 50.4% and Kampf at 51.1%, but they're only that low due to getting extreme defensive usage.

Good. He was terrible.

Who grabs him? You know someone will 100%.

gotta think a covid riddled team would
unless he makes real money....does he?

oh geez

maybe not

 

[Volcanologist]

he's in charge, but in retrospect the Folignos and Mimsys are not Dubas type players. may sound like excuses for Doobs but I'd bet Shanahan/senior hockey dept members have a say in some of these moves too.

would be cool if true.

especially if it forces them to back the fuck off already.

answer: yes. shockingly high money given his performance.

I feel like Preston's life is lessened with Mimsy out of it

That said Oil change is too perfect

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Or Tampa and he becomes good
