NAK went from Colorado (where he played well) to Toronto (where he did not play well) to Washington (where he played well) and then to Buffalo (where he did not play well). I wonder if the Leafs consider a claim here at all even if it's just a temporary fix while a bunch of forwards are...

Kinda crazy that Toronto's the only team in the Atlantic on pace for over 100 points right now.

Tulsky's a mad man!

Ottawa Senators 24-20-4, 52 pts vs. Toronto Maple Leafs 30-17-2, 62 pts Projected Line-ups Cousins-Stutzle-Batherson Tkachuk-Pinto-Giroux Greig-Ostapchuk-Perron Highmore-Gaudette-Amadio Chabot-Jensen Kleven-Zub Sebrango-Matinpalo Forsberg McMann-Matthews-Marner Domi-Holmberg-Nylander...

I missed this little bit of news yesterday. There's 2 weeks and 6 games left before the break now. Normally you probably wouldn't want one of your injured players playing in this tournament but this actually probably benefits the Leafs with Hakanpaa. Best case scenario he's going to be able to...

I'm surprised they wouldn't put Dewar on IR (he'd be eligible to come off after the Ottawa game so he wouldn't miss any extra time if he's healthy after that) so they could call up another forward whether it's Steeves or Grebenkin or Nylander to play over Reaves. But yeah that's a rough looking...

Stolarz took part in his first practice with the team today since his injury. Dreger said best case his return could be in a week. That feels maybe a bit optimistic but looks like the goal is for him to return before the break.

Marner's 4th in the league in points. You can't play him with a 4th line centre who's on pace for 15 points this season, you just can't. I'm all for wanting to spread things out over 4 lines, but I think the team still needs an additional piece somewhere to make that work.

ROR, Nelson, and Kadri are pipe dreams. Don't really see Treliving being willing to part with the assets it'd require to get them. Frederic, Laughton, and Bjugstad I'd all categorize as guys I don't think would be as good as a Leaf as some people think. Ryan Strome I don't hate quite as much...

Even if Hildeby wasn't playing quite this poorly only having 14 games played between the two leagues over halfway through the season isn't great for his development. Assuming this move sticks like I suspect he'll be in a position to take a big workload with the Marlies for the time being...

Should have happened 2 days ago, but still good. Murray's waiver situation meant that he couldn't cover the entirety of Stolarz' absence, but he can cover the last 2-3 weeks without blowing his waiver exemption.

Before things went downhill they were outshooting them 2 to 1. Would have been nice to see a bit more pushback after that happened but yeah I don't think the score was really quite as bad as it looks. Also just a bit of a tough stretch of the schedule, especially with a goalie hurt. Columbus is...

A quick look at the CBA seems to say the only time a back-up goalie is deemed to have "played" a NHL game is in regards to some qualifying offer stuff. I'm pretty sure with the waiver thing a game played has to be an actual game played.

I dunno, I'm pretty sure that's not the case. A goalie serving as a back-up isn't counted as a game played in any other situation. I mean I could be wrong but I'd be very surprised if that was the case.

That's why he hasn't been up here for most of the time yeah but at this point the waivers threat has kind of passed. Murray gets a 30 day and 10 game clock before he's eligible for them again. By my count he's at 5 days and 2 games. Stolarz is probably/hopefully back after the 4 Nations break...

Murray won again with the Marlies last night while only allowing 1 goal. Still kinda baffled he didn't get the start here last night.

Well I called that this would be a back-up game... but surprised Murray didn't get the call-up for it after back to back shutouts with the Marlies.

Yeah, you're right. Patches was moved to IR to make room for him too. It'd be interesting to see if he'd get into the line-up over Reaves but that's probably unlikely.

I was just reading the other day about how good Quillan's been with the Marlies lately. Guessing maybe some guys have the sniffles or something.
