Damn, it’s like nobody wants TBA to play for them! Wait, am I “TBA”?
That TBA dude is horrible. Makes sense that he is cut loose. (If I was a player whose initials were TBA I’d freak out… Thomas Bob Anthony?)
He can’t be that bad…he played for almost every team in the league.
I’m reminded today that I’m old enough to have remembered the NHL waiver draft.
Will Cody Glass make the cut or will the Devils (or whoever owns his rights) decide his trade value is too much to let him walk. Canucks are so screwed. Real bad trade incoming…
Guess LA doesn’t even have that TBA dude.
Didn’t even know the Hawks still owned the rights of Raty and Saarela as they both are playing over seas now.
They were under contract this season, just loaned to Europe
Ahhhh, Thanks Josh. I thought they just saw no path forward and signed in Europe instead.
Seems like everybody is just using the extra cap money to re sign their own guys. Nothing going on tomorrow at all? Or nothing worth while anyway. I can’t believe Vegas is dumb enough to give up players for a guy they can get for free. If he’s willing to sign an extension seems like he’s likely to want to go there anyway? Just sayin. Hopefully maybe some trades. Most FA deals are massive overpays anyway.
It seems that more and more teams are deciding to keep their TBA instead.
