Waived: 2017-18 Ongoing Waivers Thread

[caley]

Condra had offseason surgery and is apparently healed up. I think he's already been named captain of Tampa's AHL team, if I'm not mistaken, so it's clear he's headed to the AHL.

Ferlin also on waivers


Glass clears as per Capfriendly

I'm finding the tables hard to keep updated, especially slow with my ancient laptop, so, at least for the time being, I've edited the first post into a more straightforward list. It's not as easy on the eyes, and you have to scroll to get to the newest players (I wonder if I should re-order it from most recent to least...) but, in theory, it should allow me to keep the first post much more up-to-date. We'll see how it goes.

Antti Niemi waived again:

[QuadDeuces]

Niemi claimed by MTL, per multiple sources

 

[caley]

 

[Mike Jones]

[Jonas1235]

Matt Read, Olympic hero 2018

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

 

[Mike Jones]

Gabriel Dumont is on waivers as well.

[uncleben]

Read and Rodin also clear, which mean Rodin's contract will be terminated today

 

[Werewolf]

Looks like Ottawa claims Dumont away from Lightning. Dumont was set to head down to Syracuse and was put on waivers after not getting much play time with the big boy club.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Like the Dumont claim. Lots of history with Boucher and Ottawa needed a 4th liner with experience.

 

[mcpw]

Lack CGY
DiDomenico OTT
Megna ANA

 

[Nick Hansen]

Have to think Läck is over in the NHL. He looked pretty good in Vancouver, don't know what happened after that. KHL or NLA?

 

[Skobel24]

Bit surprised to see DiDomenico waived. He's been doing well.

 

[Mike Jones]

I thought of this too. Any chance he's claimed? Sounds like he'd be a cheap bottom six type for a team with injury issues.

It might be temporary. The Flames will need another starter for a back-to-back and both their AHL goalies have played decently.

More importantly, the AHL goalies have faced lots of shots. Part of the issue for Lack I think is that he just doesn’t play. Yeah he’s been bad but he’s only played 1 full game so far this year. It’s hard to expect much out of a backup who just sits on the bench.

According to Friedman Megna (He gets the name wrong in his tweet) and Lack clear. Didomenico is claimed and LA's Brooks Laich is on waivers.

And claimed by TBL

Tampa: No room for Dumont. He just won't cut it on the roster. Waived!
Ottawa: Oh man, Dumont! We could totally use him. Makes DiDomenico expendable too! Let's waive him!
Tampa: Oh man, DiDomenico! Exactly what we need


(I know, I know, much more goes into it than that. Just thought it was a humourous exchange of events)

It's also an expensive trade. Wouldn't it be cheaper (By avoiding waiver fees) to just make a frickin trade without all the waiver moves in between?

Waiver fees are paid to the player-losing club, not to a third party. So if the waiver fees for these two players were equal, neither team is out any money at all. If the waiver fees are unequal, perhaps it was actually preferable to one club to accept the difference in waiver fees rather than even up a trade with a paltry draft pick. By my best guess (I'm no pro on the intricacies of the CBA), Dumont's fee was $13,125 and DiDo's was $41,250. It would have been preferable for Ottawa to swap these players via waivers and save ~$28k. And perhaps preferable for Tampa to just give up that money difference than hand over a conditional draft pick that Ottawa would have demanded in trade in exchange for not getting the money.

True. Thanks for the clarification too. My math isn't where it was 40 years ago.

Seemingly dropped off a cliff then...
