Lots of Roster movement today … 3 teams interested in Morrison … NHL-KHL to play nice
Posted by Mark Easson in NHL News, NHL Rumors on October 4th, 2010
- Jonas Seigel of AM640: The Toronto Maple Leafs have assigned Nazem Kadri, Luca Caputi, Christian Hanson, and Jussi Rynnas to the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. John Mitchell was kept over Christian Hanson, who probably had a better camp than Mitchell. From Brian Burke,
“If you go based on the way training camp went, I think Luca and Christian could both make a real good argument that this isn’t a fair result. They both played well, but again Luca had to knock out an incumbent—so whether that’s Freddie Sjostrom or whatever—didn’t do it in our estimation and Christian Hanson is not a guy we want playing six minutes a night. We want him to go down and play. He’s a young player, he needs to play. Same with Luca. Those two guys I think can make an argument this isn’t fair.”
Mike Zigomanis was put on waivers as well today.
