Ah well.

Just remembered Winnipeg also acquired Lindholm last season. They love our crappy 4Cs.

Good. 1 less contract towards the 50 and a guy we had no use for.

If you're looking for one, the one downside to this is it probably means Gauthier won't be seeing waivers this season. I doubt they want to run the risk of losing two depth centres.

Ship to Shore.  You are now in Winterpeg, pack a Parka.

You're probably right. I also think Goat stays because he makes less then minimum. We'd have Spezza, Engvall, for centre depth if Goat was gone. They could even go to Brooks from the Marlies. I like his game.

To add to this:  If Babcock were still coach- it be a foregone conclusion that Goat would be the permanent 4th line C.  However, with Keefe (who knows Engvall/Brooks at C well) I don't think its a foregone conclusion Goat will be it for the season.

I don't think so either but salary may be the determining factor unless they move someone with salary. The Leafs have 42k in cap room. Moving Goat out does little for anyone other then minimum salary coming up. Cap Friendly has Moore on LTIR so when he comes back it looks like Timashov will be the odd man out, unless the Leafs like him better then Moore.

Circle January the 8th on your calendars boys.  Jets are in town, and I can't wait for the video tribute.

I doubt a jersey gets raised, but I don't think there'll be a dry eye in the house.

And thus will conclude the Nick Shore era in Toronto.
