Doesn't Pittsburgh get first right to reclaim Zohorna and then send him to the ahl without passing him through waivers again? Or am I mistaken?
Yeah... perhaps I didn't explain myself well. He's on waivers now but the Pens jump to the head of the list of teams that can claim him and if they do claim him they can immediately send him to the AHL without exposing him on waivers again... like the Flames have just done.No. He has to go through waivers again and if he does then we can claim and drop him to AHL.

No every team can still make a claim to keep him in the NHL, if nobody claims him Pittsburgh can claim him and send him to the AHL without putting him on waivers again. If another team makes a claim then they will need to put him on waivers again to send him to the AHL. It wouldn't be fair to the player to not be able to play in the NHL.Yeah... perhaps I didn't explain myself well.

That's not correct. The pens stay in the same spot in the waiver priority that they were. If he makes it to them and they are the only team to put in a claim they can then send him directly to the AHL. If another team ahead of them claims him that team get him. If another team after them in priority puts in a claim, the Pens would need to place him on waivers againYeah... perhaps I didn't explain myself well.

Gotcha.No we don’t. He has to clear waivers then we can grab him.
I think the Penguins way, and it seems it is the same under Hextall as GMJR, is to sign enough cheap veterans to fill out the roster, low ceiling/high floor types, and then challenge the young guys to go through those players to earn a spot.Puus looked good in his one and only game.
The problem is that guys like Simon, Jank, ZAR, Sceviour, Archibald get endless leashes while younger guys are banished immediately after playing 6 minutes with Simon and ZAR.
These guys are not getting legitimate chances. They are set up to fail. Gaudreau was the perfect example. He only got a shot once we had several injuries. Otherwise, sleepy and sully would have kept him buried all season.
I just want guys like Archibald to sit when it’s clear they don’t deserve a roster spot.
Either that or play Rooney there and Ruzicka plays center on the 4th lineWonder if Sutter plans on shifting Adam Ruzicka to 3LW, if Calgary doesn’t bring in another winger.
Guess Pittsburgh didn't want him back after all
Also, if anyone cares, here's a Zohorna highlight:
One more question—when Calgary waived him did Pit need to put in the claim then or could they wait and if nobody else claimed him, THEN Pit could snag him back?No we don’t. He has to clear waivers then we can grab him.
So he cleared and will play for the Calgary Wranglers this year? Nice.Guess Pittsburgh didn't want him back after all
It’s going to be this. Sutter clearly likes Rooney.Either that or play Rooney there and Ruzicka plays center on the 4th line
I've got no problem with that. I think Rooney had a decent camp.It’s going to be this. Sutter clearly likes Rooney.
