I think Brooks clears given who else is on the wire today

Yeah I don't get the talks about him being a waiver risk. Most teams have like 3 Adam Brooks' (including the Leafs). Still could happen but even if it does, meh. I'd rather see Semyonov play ahead of him.

Agreed. Brooks is a decent 4th line option, but there are so many of those out there. He?s very replaceable.

I wouldn't mind giving him more of a look but Amadio is basically more experienced, similar production and bigger body at the same age.

I'm just guessing but Brooks will have to clear waivers at some point unless we see a lot of injuries or a trade, it's probably the best time to try and get him through now when there are a lot of similar players on waivers.

I had no idea Amadio had played 173 games in the NHL until like a week ago.

Did you guys also remember where he was from?  8)

He?s not going to all of a sudden stop skating and standing in front of net. Whereas JVR loved standing beside the net. We saw countless videos of him practicing his shot from within 2 feet of the net.

The Leafs are fools if they think teams are going to allow them the same pond hockey tactics in the playoffs as they do in the regular season.  Let's put it this way, if a  player is getting paid less than $3 million and are unwilling to pay the same price Doug Gilmour did in front of the net, in a time the league is supposedly cutting down on cross-checking, they are the root cause of why the Leafs can't get past the first round.  Think all these players should be practicing their shot from within 2 feet of the net.

I am seriously asking, not stirring anything up, but who are the players on the lightning who paid the price standing in front of the net?

Also I?m confused, if the league is cracking down on cross checking (which I don?t believe for a second) what price would there be to pay in front of the net?
 
This would make sense as to why they put Brooks on waivers....

Does cap space ever accrue when you use LTIR?  Ie, do these tactics lead us to have more space at the deadline?

Seems like Matthews might miss the opener. Dermott and Liljegren were apparently swapping on the bottom pair.
 
Well I'm surprised someone grabbed him but I still don't think this will be something we'll be kicking ourselves about later on (until Brooks goes on to play like 15 regular season games before scoring the series winning goal against the Leafs in the playoffs).

Oh wait yeah that's definitely not happening, crisis averted. We'll just have to endure him scoring against us at least once during the regular season.

Montreal claimed Adam Brooks

No big deal. Liked him but there are plenty of guys that are better. I wonder what Shanny's reaction was when he heard Brooks got claimed. When Vesey did, he said Wow, I'm surprised lol.
Anyway, good luck to him.
