Well to be fair he left last year for $3.5M.....but yeah, I'd say he wanted out.

Yeah gotta say, Edler should’ve retired a Canuck. Like Tanev and Markstrom he was glue in the room.

^ Murray dislodged the net 3 times today versus the Wild and got away with it each time.

The other day the refs waved off 3 Devs goals in their game versus the Leaves:

(the 3rd goal waved was clearly kicked in)

In both games, the Leaves won by just a single goal.

Looks like the leaves may have found themselves a free player in Conor Timmins.

Free?

They gave up 22-yr-old 6'9 245lb centre Curtis Douglas in that trade.

Now I don't know, but leafers who watch the Marlies hated that trade.

Timmins missed the entire 2018-19 season due to a major concussion

... and almost all of 2021-22 after blowing out his knee.

He's basically an injury-prone 24-yr-old AHLer who has found his way into just 44 NHL games.

44 games with protected minutes.

So in summary, not free and not much of a player...

He was a great junior player that was derailed by concussions. They gave up a Kellan Lain type prospect. I’d definitely take a flyer on him at that price. In his first three games he’s apparently been steady.

Anyone who misses an entire year to a concussion is a prime candidate for further concussions.

We all know this.

And he has played in just 5 NHL games over the last 14 months.

Injury prone.

Why, because they're the same size?

Those Marlie-watchers to whom I referred swear Curtis Douglas will have a solid NHL career as a bottom 6 forward...

Not me, I'd much rather take a flyer on Curtis Douglas.

Blob Mckenzie wrote: Sun Dec 11, 2022 2:00 pm In his first three games he’s apparently been steady.
Yeah, he's played a "steady" protected 14.5 minutes per game. :wink:

Timmons will land on waivers as soon as Leaves get a defenseman or 2 back from injury.

(all 4 of their injured defensemen are considered better than Timmons by the Leaves)

Unless of course he ends up on LTIR (again) first...

I guess we will see. Douglas is tearing up the AHL this year with one assist in 16 games

Well if he makes the NHL it'll be as a large nasty bottom-6 defensive forward.

Also, 22 years old just into his second full season in the AHL (half-point-per-game last year).

Not much maybe, but better than Conor 'Glassman' Timmins...
