Nick Kypreos has tweeted this little gem today:

#Leafs put Jeff Finger on #NHL waivers today.

This finally puts an end to the long period of speculation over the future of Jeff Finger. When he clears tomorrow, it will be interesting to see where he ends up playing. Renegotiating with another NHL team or even playing in Europe would perhaps be more entertaining to Finger but wouldn’t be the wise financial move as he’d have to opt out of his current contract by not reporting to the Marlies. While Wilson has been adamant that a return to the NHL this season isn’t an impossibility, it seems Finger will be left to lead a Marlies team that has started with a 0-2 record.

Where would you like to see Finger play?

    5.7 million seems like a lot for 2 third line wings

    That is true. Though Burke will pay to get his man and likes to build from the net out. I believe defensive forwards should be after dmen. That line would be one you could give mega minutes to late in the game up by 1. With so much cash on D we can’t afford to do it right now though. If we had less tied up in Dmen I would be for it.

    I haven’t posted on here in a long while, because a few people were really negative…I see that you are a holdover…this is a MAple Leaf site, for Maple Leaf fans…getting excited about anything to do with the Leafs is a good thing…seriously, if you don’t like that aspect of it, you really DO NOT belong here dude!

    kausatoday Toronto D Jeff Finger has cleared waivers, meaning he can go to the AHL and his $3.5 million cap hit no longer is counted against the Leafs.

    yup… finally. Now if you would go admit to some other things, you’d be able to eat hotdogs at the dinner table with your folks and not feel so awkward about it anymore… (nothing against gay people, Brian Burke has taught me to be more sensitive to the issue) lol

    strange that they would give gus the start againts the pens, and hold jsg a week off and have him play against the rangers.

    i woulda kept jsg going on his streak tonight, give gus an easier rangers team for confidence and win.

    but should be a good match, brents gotta put in that work and hold down crosby

  • KABERLE WASN’T TRADED

    Stop buying into James Dean’s foolishness. This is a fan site. Plenty of fans, for a wide variety of teams, get overly optimistic and excited. An equal amount, like him, seem to think they’re superior to the average fan. In one way or another, most of the people here are stereotypes.

    Anyways, I wish Giggy was starting again tonight. I really like Gus, but I figured a NY start made more sense as Giggy has been playing well. Will be disappointing coaching if this results in a loss; we’ve got good momentum right now.

    @ UncleJakesCards:
    This demonstrates that you (and your wife?) are very special people, and and deserve a pat on the back and a big Don Cherry thumbs up for the fantastic job you are doing! The world needs more people like you, and more Leaf fans!
