Weird, he's been in AHL all season.

I'm not sure about the rules, but when he clears, does it mean that some other team could sent him to their AHL team without waivers? But I guess that it wouldn't matter, because no team is gonna claim him. And I doubt any team in interested anyways.

Nevermind, he's been injured and I guess that just means he cleared to play now and going to AHL.

Hasn't he been on IR all year?

That's true, just checked.

Blackhawks be like

After sending down Graeme Clarke, the Devils only have 12 forwards on the roster including Jack Hughes (probably out for a bit) and Ondrej Palat who's missed a couple games. Brendan Smith was playing LW but probably will get shifted back to D with Jonas Siegenthaler's injury.

Rooney was in the Devils system for a few years. Maybe wouldn't be the most shocking waiver claim if only for the need of a warm body 4th liner.

I forgot he existed

 

[Zirakzigil]

Probably wanting to send him down to get back to game speed

 

[Volica]

If someone wants to do Calgary a favour they can claim him lol.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Never forget when he forgot which team he was on

Isn't that the principal in Ferris Bueller's day off ?

Looks like a player trying to play through a concussion for fear of losing his spot to me...

He has been injured all season and on the Flames LTIR roster. Now he needs to be activated and so he heads to the farm.

Whether he is recalled at some future point is debatable. Flames won't want to absorb his full contract of 1.3M unless there is a fire sale going on and they need a body.

I'm sure he's a nice guy and I wish him the best but that was just a dumb signing from day #1.

Signing was fine. Salary too high to be fully buried.

Anything for fringe NHLers over the limit to bury is always stupid. This one particularly so.

So signing was fine but signing wasn't actually fine?

Losing his spot to you?

Signing him as a cheap depth guy would have been fine. But should have been at 1 mill tops.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Losing his spot to you?

Sadly I never got the callup, but coach was biased, politics, etc. etc.

 

[Chainshot]

So did the Hawks claim him already or not?

Wait 7 minutes until the period expires

Some hated the fact we even signed Rooney. I'm saying signing Rooney was fine but would have rathered he had a salary that was lower than 1.3 mil
