Waived: Cory Conacher, Joe Corvo

[Tundraman]

They are in a fight for a playoff spot do you go with Conacher or Kassian they two choices Why would you pull him if a team asked ? They would rather he cleared and plays in Binghamton I don't think they would be in a charitable mode to pull him because some team asked.

Apparently it's a rule that if a team puts in a claim they can ask that the player be pulled from the game so it's not a favour.

Never heard of that before.

 

[RedeyeRocketeer]

Well, if Dean Brown is to believed, Conacher playing last night was a good sign. That would mean no team requested him to be pulled because they intended to make a claim. Now, even if that it true, that wouldn't mean he won't get claimed, but a good sign nonetheless.

I hope we keep him, I still think he can be a useful player.

That is not a good sign. I see what you're saying, but look at it from the other perspective.

 

[DrEasy]

Not sure where this comes from, but Kassian isn't going to be a regular regardless of what happens with Conacher.

NHL players face competition for their spot every day, there is no need to create it.

Instead of risking losing Conacher we could simply bench him. There's no need for Kassian.

Sounds like Conacher getting picked up by Tim

That would be the biggest kick in the nuts

If they wanted him so badly, why not claim him immediately? Why risk him getting injured in last night's game?

They're just kicking tires on him like others are. For some reason, I see him passing waivers as he's a free agent this summer and his numbers aren't great this season.

I'm pretty sure you can't just claim someone as quickly as you want. You need to wait for papers to go through

Claims take 24 hours. Buffalo couldn't simply claim him yesterday.

Until noon the next day the team he plays for can decide to sit him or play him. Waiver claims are not official until noon at which point the player becomes the property of the new team.

So even if Buffalo put in a claim, Ottawa could have still played him last night.

That said, it is risky for Ottawa to play him because if he gets injured he can no longer be sent down and the waiver becomes void (IIRC)

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Claims take 24 hours. Buffalo couldn't simply claim him yesterday.

But as was mentioned, they can put in their claim and request the player not be in the line-up. TM didn't do that.

Conacher could have been hurt last night and the waiver..er...waived.

 

[robsenz]

Officially pissed, this deadline us going to be brutal

 

[Scrub*]

That's a good return for St.Louis..

 

[Benttheknee]

Conacher leaving is unfortunate as they got nothing in return, not even a pick. On the other hand, it does open up a spot on the roster for a forward. I have liked the play of Hoffman, Da Costa and Stone, all of whom are very close to being NHL players.

It is simply clearing a log jam, but getting nothing in return for developing NHL talent.

 

[Carrie Underwood]

poor asset management.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

So Murray gave a Vezina-calibre goalie to a divisional rival with nothing to show for it.

Fantastic.

 

[Spez]

Said Vezina goalie is starting to fall apart down the stretch. Bishop has looked human for awhile now. We lost the trade but don't make Bishop into something he isn't yet. We've seen plenty of one year wonder goalies. Dubnyk, Jim Carey, Theodore, etc.

 

[Six Assets]

Good luck in buffalo cony

We still helped a team that we're competing with. It still makes no sense to me why we waved him. I could name 5 players on our roster who should be moved before him.

 

[BondraTime]

I mean, we could have gotten Ryan Jones guys!!!!

The over-reaction to something as minor as this is laughable. Conacher is a fringe NHLer, who never found his stride here.

I am glad we made the trade for him, we need to go for some home-runs rather than safe trades. This home-run never worked out, that's the way she goes'

We also got a 4th rounder.

Turned into Tobias Lindberg

Exactly.

And no one could have predicted Bishop would play as well as he has.

Ryan Jones + 2nd > 5th and an improved division rival.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Let's be real here.

We gave away a 4G scoring 5'7 winger with very little impact on the game offensively and defensively.

Hardly much of a loss. The only thing that kept Conacher in the NHL for this long was the fact he was traded for Bishop.

So Murray gave a Vezina-calibre goalie to a divisional rival with nothing to show for it.

Fantastic.

This was the case even with Conacher on the team.

 

[BondraTime]

Ryan Jones = Press-Box/AHL

Conacher = Potential top 9 player

They went for a home-run and it never worked out.
