He isn't playing for the leafs. He is practicing for the leafs. I do admire his character for handling this so well and hope that when he gets the chance to play he becomes a solid NHL dman. Never having to sit out a game again.... but his statement is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care what's technical or not about this. What's technical is not what he's getting at. He's on the team with Toronto with the possibility to play for him hometown team.

We are talking about a kid that is locked in an ice cream shop and can't have any. He hasn't been given a single bite of ice cream. Anyways you didn't see the humour in my original quote, not going to argue with you. You are right lock. Corrado is playing for the leafs.... he's just wearing his invisible pijamas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Phooey Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 What's the big ado about Frankie Corrado? The kid is getting an NHL payday as a 22 year old (albeit it's "only" $635K, which is what most of the traders and brokers are making on Bay Street after five years of building their book of business) practicing and traveling with the team...he's 22 and barely good enough to be an NHL player. Frankie's doing the right thing by keeping a good attitude and waiting for his turn. Plus, Frankie is probably hanging out with his buddies as most 22 year olds do...and his job is to play hockey while his buds are probably going to a job site to build condos or finishing off their university degrees. So I'm thinking Frankie is feeling pretty good about things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpluto96 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 How this bush league is allowing the Laughs to abuse the system and in the process destroying a young player's development and career is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanisleryan Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 What a joke he could have been gaining valuable experience in Utica and would have definitely played some NHL games in Vancouver by now. The Leafs should have let him pass....but I guess he probably would have been snagged by another team but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how the stupid Leafs claim players just because of where they are from, its quite laughable how retarded that organization is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I bought a Leafs lighter yesterday. There were three reasons: 1) It makes me laugh when I look at it 2) For the reaction from my friends 3) So that a Leafs fan can't have it I got your back, Frankie.

apollo Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This is a joke... There's gotta be a rule against it. If you're gonna pick someone up, you should have to play him within a month. This is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 What other fringe 7th/8th dman can garner a 34 page waiver thread? Honestly just let it go, he isn't worth it the fuss of 'what could've been'. I bet Benning and Linden would repeat the same move. The guy came to camp unwilling to fight for a spot on the team and he was sent packing because of it. That's how you build a winning organization. Now if they could just cut ties with some of those vets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they could just cut ties with some of those vets... More revising history. That is actually bullcrap. Hutton outplayed him; that doesn't mean he was unwilling to "fight for a spot". Benning spoke with 15 teams about a trade and no-one bit. He assumed it meant he could sneak him through waivers. Benning even admitted as much. But why would a team trade for a player that they could just pick up off of waivers. Benning made an error in judgement. I know some of you are going to make that into some kind of statement about Corrado's worth. I just don't like people twisting the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only player I would consider moving to make room would be Weber. Corrado's positive was his youth. Any suggestion he did not have opportunity is not true.

Warhippy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 As per tsn Apparently Benning is looking at bringing Corrado back....via trade if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
