Ole-Kristian Tollefsen (DET) on waivers
 

Haha.

So Leino for a 5th in 2011?

Wow, his stock has dropped.

Seems like it may have been a cap move

They need to get Franzen back under the cap.

at least he goes somewhere he'll get to play (intended for ville but i guess it works for both)

Leino got more than enough chances to play.

In fact, he got too much.

And he had no interest in being demoted. Despite showing no reason why he shouldn't be.

Let the waiver war commence for Toleffson

How Atlanta didnt get involve in this Leino trade is beyond me.

I'd put in a claim.

Steve Eminger is better than Tollefsen. And THAT is saying something.

Neither can play defense. So I'll take the guy who adds some toughness, because the Ducks defense has no balls.

Nah, I'd still put OKT ahead of Eminger. If not for the contract than anything.

Someone needs to get a suicide watch going for Wolfy.

McKenzie (Twitter) confirmed it was a cap move.

god forbid the Wings allow someone with some balls on their roster

Would play OKT over Eminger or Festerling, hopefully the Ducks take a chance

Bruins? Boychuk just left the game after taking a puck in the face. We also have Stuart out and McQuaid is up playing. He's been good, but we might have to call up the Woz soon...

Who does OKT unseat from Detroit's roster? He makes Brett Lebda look like Paul Coffey. Balls or not, OKT is not an NHL caliber d-man, even on a 3rd pairing.

I was hoping the Avs would sign Tollefsen in the offseason. Given our logjam on D, I doubt they'd claim him now, but I wouldn't mind it. If Tom freakin Preissing got ice time with the Avs, Tollefsen can.

:facepalm:

You want to respond but know it's going in one ear and out the other :laugh:

he is when he's healthy....that just doesnt happen much

Here is how much he has been healthy.

06-Feb-10 Acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers.
14-Jan-10 Missed 14 games (sprained left MCL).
15-Dec-09 Sprained left MCL, early January.
14-Dec-09 Missed 16 games (concussion).
10-Nov-09 Concussion, sidelined indefinitely.
30-Sep-09 Unknown, sidelined indefinitely.

Lol.

Poor Tollefsen.

Obligatory "How could the Isles pass on him?" post.

Bad timing for Detroit. They lost three forwards to injuries today, so they have more room now.
