Anthony PetrielliHOST
Not if you're, not if you're trying to be like an actual team that's going anywhere.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
And so, but now that Ondrej's gone, I mean, who's next on the left D chart if something happens? Is it Mermis? It's probably Mermis, right?
Nick AshbourneHOST
Mermis is the first name that comes to mind, so yeah, they're certainly thin on that side.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
Like, what else, what else even is there? On the right you're like Blankenburg, Danforth, right? Like, you feel reasonable, like as reasonable as one can when you start going down that side of the depth chart.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
But on the left it's like Noah Chadwick, Rifai, Blake Smith, you know?
Nick AshbourneHOST
Yeah.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
So like Rifai would be, it'd be, it'd be a toss-up between Rifai and, and Mermis, and I want to like Rifai.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
I do, so badly, 'cause I, I think he's a heart on sleeve kind of guy, just so limited with the puck, and it's just, it's just tough.
Todd CrockerHOST
I'm with, uh- Okay ...
Todd CrockerHOST
I've had a pretty decent conversation with Dakota Mermis about four-on-four, because there was a game there at one point where it seemed like the whole game got played four-on-four.
Todd CrockerHOST
He said, "Just let it play five-on-five.
Todd CrockerHOST
Just stern words and let's go." I like that advice.
Anthony PetrielliGUEST
But he needs time.
Anthony PetrielliGUEST
And then the Marlies do have a ton of veterans themselves, right? Whether it's Dakota Mermis or Phillip Myers or kind of go down the list, there's also quite a few older guys there as well.
Anthony PetrielliGUEST
So, look, ideally they're bringing in someone younger and, you know, on the ascension that could potentially work their way into some form of top four role type thing but it's a it's a hard trade to conceive given all the draft picks that they've traded already and um you know the players you that might be able to help you get something are players you don't really want to trade or you know you kind of get to the point of you know you're robbing you're robbing Peter to pay Paul type thing.
Anthony PetrielliGUEST
It's like, do you want to trade Easton Cowan to potentially bring in a defenseman? I mean, in theory, yes, you would trade a winger to, to add a defenseman, obviously, but how much better is that making the bottom line of your team right away? Probably, probably not.
AlexHOST
They went through and added a bunch of depth.
AlexHOST
Grit, Michael Bozzetta, Dakota Mermis, Travis Boyd, Vinnie Letary, Bo Gru is one who has a two-year contract and is still here and is a notable one for Leafs Nation currently.
AlexHOST
Just some depth signings that went on.
AlexHOST
Some of those guys made a little bit of an impact last year.
Jonas SiegelHOST
And I don't even know who they would call up after that.
Jonas SiegelHOST
I don't think it would be Myers, but like maybe Mermis, Stanford.
Jonas SiegelHOST
I don't like it's definitely different than it was in the past.
Jonas SiegelHOST
All right.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
Obviously we harped on it a lot, but his first year here, he was actually very much serviceable as a depth D man.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
And I'm also side note, I'm happy Dakota Mermis got through.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
I think he's just a solid depth defenseman.
Anthony PetrielliHOST
Like he can come up and give them 20 games and I wouldn't be, if they asked him to do a ton, I would be concerned.
JD YoungHOST
Owen Sillinger, you know, the same, like I think would be probably a more attractive player to try to, um, you know, uh, if, if a team was looking.
JD YoungHOST
Like Dakota Mermis, uh, like again, kind of that rough and tumble type of player.
JD YoungHOST
Like there's plenty of, uh, of guys out there who have, uh, placed on waivers today.
JD YoungHOST
So, uh, I think he-- I wouldn't be surprised if he clear- like I think he'll clear waivers, so I'm not super worried about it.
Darius DominguesHOST
But if he is claimed, he'll be leaving the organization.
Darius DominguesHOST
Now, there's a couple of guys that they put on waivers the last couple of days here and the last 24 hours, including Dakota Mermis.
Darius DominguesHOST
Guys like that, I don't necessarily expect to be claimed on waivers.
Darius DominguesHOST
Steven Lorenz, I think, could possibly be claimed on waivers by another team around the league.
Nick GosseHOST
somewhat react to the negatives hasn't looked good um i'm gonna choose to hope and just pray that it is the preseason because his role is a little bit different this year last year surefire first liner you know i got moved around this year we're gonna have to see where he factors in also quickly uh nick paul who's dealing with an injury jim hiller said they're gonna have to see him we'll know more today about it so might have a video later today before we do wrap up let's quickly dive into the moves they place cole mcward and dakota murmis on waivers of the reassignment for the purpose rather reassignment to the marley's and then a few other guys including vinnie borghese Darius, any quick thoughts on this? Nothing too crazy.
Nick GosseHOST
I mean, Dakota Mermis has been around for a while, so we'll see if he clears waivers.
Nick GosseHOST
I'd assume at this point he will, but he's gone from the Leafs, and he won't be with the Leafs anytime soon.
Nick GosseHOST
I think they have enough depth now where they probably don't necessarily need it.
Jimmy MurphyHOST
Next question.
Jimmy MurphyHOST
Bill Van Vagel: "34 players put on waivers today, including Phoenix Copley, Spencer Martin, Tyler Gotcher, Dakota Mermis, uh, and, and Gunstrom, Carl Gunstrom, among others.
Jimmy MurphyHOST
Would any of these be used to teams to get claim?"
Pierre McGuireHOST
No.
