McLaren placed on waivers

[bustaheims]

TSNBobMcKenzie: Waivers today: Kobasew (PIT), McLaren (TOR), Larsen (EDM), Dubnyk (NSH).

Did not expect something so logical to actually happen.

I find it more surprising that Dubnyk is being waived. Surely someone will take him.

WOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO

I like how Bob threw his name in the middle there as if it wasn't going to be huge newa in Leafs Nation.

Good move.  Have to think Carlyle's input played some part in it as well, so kudos to coach and GM for doing this (even if it's much later than many of us hoped).

What fantastic news, now finally rid of Frazer and Frazer, now we only need to jetison Molten Orr

That's Randy when Nonis told him he waived Mclaren.

This is a more thoughtful and educated response to the roster move than we will see when Don Cherry addresses it on Coach's Corner

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Why did he get a 2 year deal in the off-season again?  Just a pointless signing.

EDIT: Also, I hope we do not see any more of Orr.  If his role is enforcer (which is the only thing he is suited for), he has played almost twice as many games as McLaren and fought less.  Just a waste of a roster spot, because he is not suited for any other role.

One-way contract, so he still gets all of his money, and for another season too.

I suppose this is something to be happy about but if the Leafs are going to dress a face puncher I'd rather McLaren than Orr.

Isn't he more of a face punchee?

I mean, if that's the decision I'd prefer that too.

I agree with Deebo and Nik.  It was Orr I was hoping to go. Slow and no Hockey IQ. 

McLaren was younger, faster, bigger and tried to make stuff happen offensively.

Making room for George Laraque

Would Orr being injured have anything to do with him not being on waivers? 

 

[MetalRaven]

I think McLaren would beat Orr in a fist fight...and he also has more pts/game so pretty much a slam dunk, in my opinion, that we just tossed the wrong guy.
