So now we know that the Maple Leafs won t lose Eric Fehr for nothing https://www.tormapleleafsfans.com/nazem-kadri-jersey-c-19.html, and that creates a wealth of possibilities heading into a busy stretch of games.

Fehr cleared waivers the other day, and remained with the team. The fact that he cleared gives the team a great deal of roster flexibility , until Nov. 25, to use Fehr, or his roster spot for a player from the minors.

The question is Why now? They re not suddenly unhappy with Fehr, a solid veteran pro. The answer? Look at the calendar.

From https://www.tormapleleafsfans.com/josh-leivo-jersey-c-17.html the time a player clears waivers, a team has 30 days or 10 played games whichever comes first before that player requires waivers again.

In the Leafs case, the 30 day period encompasses 16 games. Fehr can play in 10 of them before requiring waivers, but is not likely to.

Given the wear and tear during a busy period like this https://www.tormapleleafsfans.com/leo-komarov-jersey-c-18.html, the flexibility will come in handy.

Do they want to give Calle Rosen a game or two with Roman Polak? Send Fehr down.

Do they want to give Kasperi Kapanen a few games? Send Fehr down.

Does somebody need to sit to rest an injury without going on injured reserve, and they d rather play a minor leaguer instead of Fehr or Josh Leivo? Send Fehr down.

Want to save salary cap space for a few days? Send Fehr down

Fehr was a safe bet to clear James van Riemsdyk Jersey, given his 2 million salary and fourth line role. A better bet than Josh Leivo, the younger and cheaper scorer who can t get into the lineuop.

It s a remarkably busy stretch, and you have to think GM Lou Lamoriello had the waiver date circled on his calendar. He might not use the flexibility, but he s got to be happy to have it.
