Viktor Loov, or Lööv, if you prefer, has been injured and out of the Marlies lineup for some time, although Sheldon Keefe said yesterday he was closest to returning. Sergey Kalinin, or Sergei, if you prefer, cleared waivers yesterday and was assigned to the Albany Devils, but was not on the roster for their game this afternoon. (The drama of a trade while a player is in a game is not for us, it seems.)
The obvious question is: why not just take Kalinin on waivers?
The answer to that is that the Leafs are currently at 49 fo 50 SPCs, and hitting the max for a depth NHLer who is going to report directly to the Marlies is not a smart move.
