Waived: [CGY] F Adam Ruzicka waived by the Flames (claimed)

[Habs 4 Life]

If he does make it to the Habs and they do claim him, he could be a top 6 centre once Monahan is moved.

He would be for sure to finish the season, next year is a different ball game. RFA after this season, if claimed by the Habs, could be an interesting option to replace and trade Dvorak away

 

[vokiel]

Easy. Condotta returns to AHL if we claim him.

He needs waivers to go back?

That's 24h.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I'd be very surprised if he wasn't claimed. Pretty stunned he was waived, actually

 

[LesCanadiens]

It's bizarre that no one offered the famous "future considerations" for him. Does he have scabies or something? I find these situations puzzling.

Calgary is trying to sneak him through. It may work, but I have my doubts.

When do we know if and by who he was claimed by?

Sometimes teams don't shop these guys around because they hope to slip them through waivers to the AHL. They take 50/50 chance to lose them for nothing rather than losing them for sure for next to nothing.

Probably sometimes after 13h (eastern time)

This and also 98% of waived guys are completely overrated on this forum and don't have (any) value that fans think they do as assets in the middle of a season.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Usually Noon EST I believe

 

[Kahvi]

And if he clears, Flames have 30 days to sent him to AHL, if they want to. That gives them some flexibility for the deadline, if they are trading their UFA's for some younger players that need to clear waivers. They can send Ruzicka down to make room in the roster.

It's 2 EST now.

2pm

So everybody just sitting around waiting to see who claims a player of almost no consequence.

It's January 25th...this is like NHL season dead-zone. A point in the season when the Adam Ruzicka's of the world send pulses racing...

Yea there really isn't any other big news going on in the hockey world right now, that's why I think this waiver is getting so much attention, but I'm just speculating....

Sorry you're correct, mixing it up as that's noon MST for me.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Preds have an open spot, could definitely see them taking a look. Didn't work out with Fagemo or Foudy, but it's worth taking a look at another one, just in case. It didn't hurt one bit with those previous two.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Rangers waived Bonino...to replace him with guy perhaps?

 

[DFF]

If you claim him, prepare for no show. He shows up may be couple times a month

When you claim from waivers, you claim a project or a warm body. Might be worth a shot for some teams

 

[TrufleShufle]

I like to think guys off waivers tend to show up at least for a bit, it could be a mental FU to the team that waived him or the kick in the pants the player needed, but it tends to happen a lot. With the injuries the Devils have, if he was able to give a couple weeks of his A game, that would be really nice and then kick him to the curb when he comes back down to earth, or after a game or two if he just isn't there.

He will fit right in then.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Arizona claims him
