Waived: 2016-17 Waivers Thread

[Mike Jones]

Full name is Ernest Cameron Schilling.

Makes sense. When I looked up the name "Ernest Schilling" in the Hockey Internet Database it wouldn't acknowledge it. It accepted "Cameron Schilling".

 

[Advanced stats]

There are better players yes, but Gormley makes more sense as #7 than someone like Santini or Auvitu. Once Quincey joined, and Auvitu entered beast-mode, the group of seven became Greene, Lovejoy, Severson, Moore, Quincey, Auvitu and Merrill.

Wow...that looks good for the worst defense in the league..I'm shocked tbh.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Extremely surprised that nobody claimed Gaudet.

Browsed through that list just quickly and somehow mixed Dustin Stevenson to Damon Severson. Thought for a second that no way the Devils would waive him after just trading Larsson.

 

[RichBaster]

Svedberg was slightly surprising in the list today, I wonder if a team lacking defensive depth takes a chance on him.

He's tall and has a long reach. That's about it. Quenneville gave him more playing time than he deserved last year, and he didn't do much to keep it (obviously).

A team in need of defensive depth should be able to do better.

Tim Erixon and Jack Campbell . . . long time HF favorites when it came to offering them in trades

This. The times I saw him play he was very limited in what he could do. Size got him further than he deserved.

Some waiver claims will surely be made as the NHL teams finalize their opening rosters and are forced to make difficult decisions about their most NHL-ready, waiver-eligible players.

 

[Braeden]

Don't be surprised to see Emerson Etem on waivers today.

 

[Agalloch]

 

[Braeden]

Wow you are quick on the gun!

 

[caley]

All the Blackhawks cleared, per various sources.

 

[caley]

Kings cleared


Honestly, with no teams announcing any claims now, I'd say it's likely everyone from yesterday cleared.

 

[Teemu]

All five Hawks cleared

 

[mcpw]

Everybody from yesterday cleared.

 

[KingTux]

Darren Dietz on waivers hum

 

[caley]

I wonder if Kichton could have some takers. Defenceman with 41 points in the AHL at the age of 23. Has scored well at every level he's played at, so far.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Time to bring Dietz back to Montreal.

 

[izzy]

I think some teams should consider Lipon..

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Kichton is a mess in his own zone and the neutral zone. Poor skater, poor first pass, loses puck battles, poor positioning. He is smart in the offensive zone and can create some offense down there. But gets quickly exposed on the counter attack and has trouble breaking out or moving the puck up the ice. I'd be floored if anyone took him. He is not at all an NHL player.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Time to bring Dietz back to Montreal.

Unless they intend to keep him up all year, which they don't or they would not have failed to QO him, then they would have to trade for him after he clears waivers.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

I think some teams should consider Lipon..

Lipon does not have the skill to play in the NHL. He is a small grinder basically, not what an NHL team is looking for. Very hard worker, but the puck dies on his stick. Particularly prone to neutral zone and defensive zone turnovers.

According to this Colin McDonald is on $7500 waivers. Isn't that unconditional release or am I completely offbase?

unconditional is $125

the $7500 comes from his 9 years with a SPC.
standard waiver compensation price for a player with his experience
