Waived: 2016-17 Waivers Thread

[GreatBear]

He was with the Duck's ECHL affiliate already, so I imagine the Ducks wouldn't have signed him unless he agreed to stay.

And the Ducks in recent years have made a point to carry a lot of goalies, but 7 really is a lot on SPC.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the expansion draft. Right now the Ducks only have two goalies under contract for next year, which is a requirement to eligibility for the expansion draft. Gibson and Tokarski. If they have a trade in the works for Tokarski then they need another goalie under contract so they don't have to expose Gibson. Why anyone would want Tokarski is beyond me, but perhaps a Stanley Cup contender wants insurance at the goalie position, and Tokarski has some NHL game experience. Time will tell.

I don't know if more guys are on waivers, but here are two.

Damn Caley,

I was just scouring all the big guys on twitter trying to find news (nothing) and then you come out with a tweet from Syracuse Hockey

The problem is most of the big guys on Twitter are either on their way to the All-Star festivities or basically on weekend mode already and using the All-Star break as an extended holiday.

Gotta think a trade is brewing in Tampa.

Tanev+Virtanen for Drouin+?

I agree. With yesterday's trade and today's "waivings" there's enough smoke to suggest that there may be a fire cooking away somewhere.

Cleared?

 

[USE Fi]

Cleared?

Lightning players Gabriel Dumont and Mike Bournival cleared waivers today.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Not to be rude or anything, but is there a reason why you don't have a Twitter account so you can check for yourself instead of posting the same question every day?

I do, but Twitter is blocked at school which is where I am at this time. Hopefully Noesen cleared?

Cleared?

That last post was yesterday (Saturday)...

What school are you attending?

Couldn't find anything indicating either way

A good rule of thumb, is if Bob McKenzie or Eliotte Friedman don't tweet anything or the team doesn't announce anything, then the players cleared. And if you're at school and can't go on Twitter, if someone hasn't posted in here or the main trade forum, by 12:05/12:15 et then you can go ahead and assume they have cleared, as well.

This is a good rule of thumb. Does Dreger tweet these kinds of things?

Rarely, I think. Unless it's a pretty big name on waivers.

Canadiens place D Zach Redmond on waivers

 

[PrOuLx]

At 612 500 $ Redmond can be claim... but

He has a contract for 17-18.

Canadiens place D Zach Redmond on waivers

Colorado should claim him. He'd be the team's 2nd best D-man with Barrie and Johnson out.

 

[McHaNugYakEbNurDra]

Is he better than Nolan Patrick/Timothy Liljegren though?

 

[HCH]

Colorado just had him for 2 years and deemed he wasn't good enough. Redmond isn't be a guy that a team in a rebuild should add.

Yet another player who, statistically, sends his team in the right direction that nobody wants to give a chance to.

Colorado should stop deeming things. They suck at it.

I don't know if that's fair, Redmond will never be a difference maker but he was pretty serviceable as a 7th D for the Habs. It's just the nature of the game for guys like Redmond to bounce around on the waiver wire because they're not good enough to be anything more.

Personally, I hope he doesn't get claimed just for the extra depth, but (classic HF coming up) I Wouldn't Be Surprised If He Is. I really have no idea why we kept Barberio over him, for one thing. Barberio has been downright bad this year.

Has he played enough games to qualify for expansion protection? If so I could see the Flames claiming him so that they don't have to waste money on resigning Jokipakka.

I didn't check Redmond's stats but when I watched him play he was caught deep in the offensive zone far too often and tried a lot of his risk passes from his own end. Some of that worked out for him in the short term and perhaps made his stats look good but it's not the way Therrien and Bergevin like the game to be played.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Redmond is an acceptable bottom pair D, and playing him any higher than that is a mistake.

16 games this season

He would need to play 17 more games this year to bring him to 70 over the last 2 seasons.
