Perhaps they're opting to play it safe and not rush Campbell back in anticipation of a heavy workload in the playoffs. On March 10, the Leafs said Campbell would be out for at least two weeks with the injury. Joshua Kloke, Toronto staff writer: With the Leafs seemingly having lost confidence in Mrazek's ability to win them games, Sateri becomes part of a short-term solution in goal, alongside recent call-up Erik Källgren, to see the Leafs through until Jack Campbell returns from a rib injury. The Leafs' offseason bet on him was not rewarded, not one bit. He was increasingly costing the Leafs game after game, surrendering goals that were barely even chances. It would've been one thing if he was just average. Jonas Siegel, Maple Leafs beat writer: It's pretty simple: He was not good, not at all. What I'm hearing about the Maple Leafs busy day before the trade deadline (Photo: Julian Avram / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) The forward has three assists in 15 NHL games this year, split between the Leafs and St. The Maple Leafs also placed forward Kyle Clifford on waivers. The 32-year-old has a lifetime NHL record of 4-4-0 with a 2.92 goals-against average and a. However, he only made nine career appearances in the NHL, all with the Florida Panthers. Sateri was a fourth-round draft pick of the San Jose Sharks back in 2008. Sateri's $750,000 salary would eat into the Leafs' saved cap space. Mrazek has also played for the Detroit Red Wings, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Carolina Hurricanes.Īccording to The Athletic's James Mirtle, the Leafs have added $1.125 million in cap room through the move. The netminder signed a three-year contract worth $11.4 million this past offseason. 884 save percentage and a 3.48 goals-against average despite having a 10-6-0 win-loss record with the Maple Leafs this season. Sateri will have to clear waivers before joining the Maple Leafs. The team has also signed Finnish goaltender Harri Sateri, who last played for Sibir Novosibirsk of the Kontinental Hockey League, to a one-way deal worth $750,000. It just goes to show the Habs made out as good as we could have hoped with expansion and that it could have been so much worse.The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed goaltender Petr Mrazek on waivers. That’s assuming Edmundson and Niku remain out until the regular season and Kaiden Guhle doesn’t make the team.
#Nhl 20 waivers crack
With Joel Edmundson still having not played at all at camp and Sami Niku out for a while, maybe Fluery could crack the opening night roster, but probably not ahead of Jeff Petry, Ben Chiarot, David Savard, Alexander Romanov, Brett Kulak or Chris Wideman. Yesterday, they put Fleury on waivers, leaving him exposed to be selected by anyone in the league today.Īfter losing him for nothing, the Canadiens may be tempted to try and bring him back for nothing. They could have taken Jonathan Drouin, taking a skilled top six winger from the Habs or Jake Evans, further weakening the Canadiens at a key position.īut they chose Fleury, a depth defender who played all of last season in the American Hockey League. The Kraken could have chosen Price to be the face of their franchise leaving the Habs scrambling to replace him. Ultimately, the Kraken chose to take a safer route and selected Cale Fleury instead. Then, the injury rumours started floating and it sounded like Price was going to miss as much time as Weber. Price has five years left on his contract at $10.5 million per year and an expansion team would need to decide if they want to add that kind of cap hit to their roster on day one. The only caveat was his contract, but then some injury questions began to linger in the media as well. This meant the Seattle Kraken could just take Price from the Habs for nothing at all in return if they wanted him.

Then, it was also revealed that Carey Price’s name would not be on the protected list submitted by the Montreal Canadiens ahead of the expansion draft. Most lists were fairly predictable, but the Habs had huge surprises.įirst of all, it was announced leading up to the draft that Shea Weber would miss the entire 2021-22 season and would not be protected in expansion. The Seattle Kraken were joining the league and were eligible to take one player from every team in the league except for the Vegas Golden Knights. The Montreal Canadiens had the most surprising protection list of all 30 teams in the NHL leading up to the expansion draft in the offseason.
