The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

Was he claimed from us this year? If so we can automatically send him down if we are the only team that out a claim on him I believe.

I think that rule expired for us on this one but maybe not.

 

[zeke]

so they're not sending him straight to the marlies. and I don't think he's injured.

 

[zeke]

and injury reserve doesn't solve the cap issue anyways.

 

[zeke]

yah something's gotta give.

we're over the cap.

 

[Preston]

Can't they just send Liljegren down for now?

 

[zeke]

i guess they could, but i highly doubt they were interested in a Liljegren-Brooks swap right now.

 

[zeke]

so that rule doesn't work.

they could still put him back on waivers and hope he clears though.

I’d be pretty surprised if we got any special consideration when he’s been claimed by both Montreal and Vegas before we got him back. He’s probably just a regular ole waiver claim.

So, curious if there’s another shoe about to drop here. Whether a trade, or someone being injured.

 

[zeke]

I mean i can't honestly believe that they decided having Brooks as an extra forward was worth sending down Liljegren for any real amount of time. Something has to be coming.

 

[zeke]

it might be that they can't put Brooks back on waivers until tommorrow.

 

[Artnes]

So they are either confident he clears or a move is coming

 

[Deckie007]

it's never a trade
it's always cap shenanigans

 

[Preston]

Think this is it. If he was available for the Leafs to pick up, he likely clears. And the Leafs know that the odds of him clearing are high.

Unless Vegas wants him back on their AHL team?

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I'm actually happy to see Brooks back and am legit surprised he didn't catch on elsewhere. I think he's solid 4th line depth who can play.

Lilly being down is temporary. Something else is happening.

This is a dumb rule. So you get to claim him on waivers, only to have to put him through again so the rest of the teams get a shot?

If you get a guy off waivers, you should be able to do with him what you want.

 

[Artnes]

Cant forget about the rumored HoSang singing as well. Lots of moving parts the next few weeks

 

[zeke]

yeah i'm going to go ahead and guess Brooks is on waivers tommorrow and Lilly is back. they just couldn't put him on waivers right away.

Given that Brooks hasn't played in so long as is apparently injured they're probably sure he'll get through waivers no problem.

makes sense.

nothing to do with any trade i don't think.

 

[Preston]

Ritchie lives to see another day



Look at that sweet athleticism.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Anyone who has watched him knows he has the power of flight. He just stays close to the ground so as to not show up on radar.
