What risk? Spezza wouldn't report to the team claiming him so likelihood of a claim is low. Don't you also go to the bottom of the waiver order if you pick someone? It'd be a pointless move.

Nah, you can't take that risk now anymore. I think the chance of Spezza following through with that threat is less now this close to the playoffs than it was at the start of the season.

Regardless though they're waiving Boyd to stash him on the taxi squad to wipe out his cap hit entirely. If you waived Spezza you'd only be able to put him on the TS on non-game days since obviously he would still be playing. So the cap benefit to waiving Spezza would be a lot less.

That's a good point.

Also... The next game is Thursday? Lots of time off in the last week & week ahead. Hopefully the guys can rest up. I'd keep Andersen rested til maybe the Saturday game.
 
I'm expecting a big week for Leafs. Play Sens and Oilers and both teams are on second half of back to back when they face the Leafs.

No, that?s a fantasy sports thing. In real life, waiver priority is always based on the standings and making a claim doesn?t change it.

Leafs don't play back to backs until Apr 4/5th against the Flames so maybe run Campbell the next 5 or until Freddie is as healthy as he can be.

Getting skunked by the Leafs for 3 straight really set him off.

Woah, you guys ain't kidding. 9 game point streak since the Leafs series, 7 goals and 20 points during that time.

I view that as he's due for a slump just in time for the Leafs game
 
Ian Scott to the taxi squad which is weird since I thought he's been injured forever. Might mean Andersen is going on the IR

Robertson was technically called up to the Leafs taxi squad on March 11th, but has been day to day with an abdominal injury since March 3rd.

LeafsPR just trolling the fanbase now sending various guys back and forth from the taxi squad.
