Quoting: MitchJr
The Leafs are made of money; they can send him to minors (doubt he clears waivers blowing your argument to bits btw) so no harm, no foul. If he clears waivers, he’s available for injury call up. Exact opposite of a dumb contract
I hate to break it to you but no teams are "made of money", and I really hate to break it to you he easily clears waivers.
There is no "blowing argument to bits" if you even bothered to look at your AHL level defensemen listed on this site, you'd seen none of them are even making 500k a year.
Not even the leafs want to put that kind of salary down to their AHL team. Otherwise he'd be there now.
