I'm going to be in Calgary later, how bad is it?
In Banff atm, and while it's snowing, it's still pretty nice.
I hopped over to VGK HF and it seemed like no one was penning him to be in the lineup
Pretty gross, in the city the roads probably aren't too bad since there is traffic. Really windy and slick outside the city. Definitely be careful driving.
Good thing I'm not bringing the rental car I guess, thanks.
We can't even handle our own Subban.
Looks like Pedan is on waivers so unless Canucks sign Archibald, looks like we're going with 13F/8D. Boeser and Virtanen made the team.
No problem. Looking at the storm warning map it begins just before Calgary on the west side and extends farther east.

Tootoo on waivers, happy birthday Marvie!
With all your birthdays you will be old one day!
Jokes on you! With my family's history of heart disease I'll be dead long before then!
Leafs say their forwards are set
so i hope that doesn't mean that one of the swede Ds are going down in favor of marincin

There could still be a #leafs roster surprise. Mike Babcock says Andreas Borgman and Calle Rosén could both stick around for the opener.
lmao bye marincin

Marincin is burnt toast
I know preseason doesn't really mean much, but when I saw him play he wasn't really noticeable at all.
Find it strange that a final decision (supposedly) hasn't been made with Liljegren. Makes me think there is a greater chance than most of us thought now that he gets sent back to Sweden for the year. The Marlies do have a lot of d-men but if you gotta make a regular spot in the lineup for a prospect like him over another guy like Valiev or LoVerde then you do it.
I think the swedes being in the lineup and Liljegren being on the marlies is contingent on a Marincin trade

how has he been in the pre-season?, my brother took a flyer on him in our fantasy league.

Heh...
I have really liked what I have seen. Still needs to get his fitness fully back but he is really close.
Probably going to be our 2C to start the season if G is playing on the left to start the season.
Not enough good ones apparently.

Who would want Marincin now? I bet he would clear waivers.

So why the hell hasn't Liljegren been sent to the minors yet?
Think I finally found a hockey league to join here in NYC but it doesnt start until Feb.
Nice, except for the wait. I wasn't able to join my team this winter since cash is tight. Gonna try and do shiney when I can though.

I think they're still deciding between AHL and Sweden.

Theyve probably decided AHL and are just working to get him out of his contract.

I would think the AHL would benefit him greatly. Get the play against men still but on the ice surface of the NHL.
I only mention this because I have him as a player in my fantasy league and I'm very much waiting for the big NA to come up next to him so I can stow him away. I have Hudon listed as an NA and I know he's going to play so I'm waiting to stow Liljegren so I can pick up and use Hudon
.Yeah i havent played in a couple years so I might do their hockey school first just to brush up then start in summer.

... but have you seen those advanced stats ...
real answer tho, some teams would take him based on that alone. The Leafs did.
for all the flak Marincin takes based on not living up to his advanced stats or whatever, I doubt he is worse than most teams' current 6th D-man
if I had the inclination I'd go through every team's depth chart and place him on it; I'd be surprised if he couldn't make more than half of those rosters by virtue of talent and past performance alone

That probably going to be his LTIR description from Lou.
His salary is hardly worth the effort of a fake injury.

Holy fuck those stats.

I just feel like the Leafs do not have a particularly strong group on D, and if he couldn't crack that lineup I'm not sure where he would be able to get in.
