The Calder Cup Champions will have their banner raised on opening night October 8th versus the Cleveland Monsters.  Will certainly be a 'monster' of a moment as it will be the first time a  championship banner will be raised won by a professional Toronto hockey outfit in decades collectively.

The @TorontoMarlies announced today that goaltender Jeff Glass has been signed to an AHL contract.

Glass had a 2.82 GAA with Rockford (AHL) in 28 games last season.

Took me about 5 minutes to realize that this wasn't Justin Peters, who the Marlies had at camp on a PTO. 32-turning-33 year old journeyman goalie. Was drafted by the sens and spent 8 years in Europe after he couldn't break into the NHL. Last season he had a 0.904 save percentage in 28 AHL games, and played for Chicago when they had all their goalie injuries and recorded a 0.898 save percentage in 15 games there. That was his only stint in the NHL.

Not exactly the greatest goalie option, so let's hope Korpisalo can carry the load for now.

edit: Kaskisuo, whatever.

McBackup could be waived when Darling comes back from injury in Carolina.

McBackup could be waived when Darling comes back from injury in Carolina.

Can you pick up a player on waivers and immediately assign them to the AHL? Would he have to be waived again to go down?

If it's a player we initially waived that got claimed and then waived again by the second team, we the originating team have the first-dibs option to claim said player and if the originating team is the only claim placed then they can immediately place him in the minors. See Seth Griffith's adventure with Toronto.

Good article previewing the Marlies' roster this season, their first game is tonight at 7pm: https://mapleleafshotstove.com/2018/10/04/toronto-marlies-2018-19-season-preview-roster-notes-projected-opening-night-lines/

The projected line-up from the article seems a little off as this is what Scott Wheeler has them going with:

Grundstrom-Mueller-Gagner
Engvall-Jooris-Bracco
Timashov-Cracknell-Moore
Clark-Greening-Piccinich

Rosen-Liljegren
Borgman-LoVerde
Nielsen-Subban

Kaskisuo
Glass

Injured players at the moment are Sandin, Brooks, and Marchment. Sandin's injury is somewhat long-term, the Sault Star is reporting he'll be out 4-6 weeks with an undisclosed thumb injury.

I don't believe the original club has first dibs.  The standard waiver wire order is in play (ie section 13.19). 

13.22 When a Club claims a Player on Regular or Unconditional Waivers, and, subsequently,
in the same season it requests Waivers on the same Player and the original owning Club is the
successful and only Club making a Waiver claim, then the original owning Club shall be entitled
to Loan such Player to a club in another league within thirty days without further Waivers being
asked; provided that such Player has not participated in ten or more NHL Games (cumulative)
and remained on an NHL roster more than thirty days (cumulative) following such successful
claim.

Hence the need for the original club to be both "successful" AND the only one to make a claim for them to be allowed to be assigned to the minors.

I think you are correct, good sir. I know not where I might have heard that falsehood.

Marlies 7-3 over Utica.  Supposedly Engvall was the best player on the ice and scored a beaut of a snip.  Also Subban played great!

And Trevor Moore nabbed a couple of goals.

[Highlander]

in the a Funny thing thread on Main Leafs news I mentioned Borgman as a possible replacement.  I copied this from PPP on last nights Marlies game. Sounds like Glass played like Freddie last night.

But back to Borg. The 23-year-old defenseman looked so confident on and off the puck all night. He had a goal in this game following several good opportunities all night, he was strong in his skating, which allowed him to keep his gaps close and be on top of the Devils forwards all night, and he kept up his physicality, especially on the penalty kill, where he was pretty much mistake free
