I would hope we claim him. That deal isn’t bad and we need a LHD on the PP

 

[r0bert8841]

Claim him!!

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Hard to believe he’s already 27. Time flys.

 

[Frk It]

We should be all over this.

 

[redwings8831]

Looks like only the Sabres, Ducks and Senators would have priority.

 

[Killerjas]

This guy has the weirdest stats ever. Dude almost got a point per game years ago. Now waived. What happened?

 

[ShippinItDaily]

I'd claim him. Could be a good partner at the beginning for Seider because he brings an offensive dimension that would allow Seider to work more on the rest of his game early on.

 

[Hammettf2b]

wouldn't mind claiming him at all

 

[lhsgolf19]

Looks like only the Sabres, Ducks and Senators would have priority.

Only us and the Sens would have room to claim due to cap space available

I think it's possible, although maybe a long shot, that those teams wouldn't want to add the $ figure. He also wouldn't likely be placed as high up the lineup on those teams as they already have some entrenched LHD.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Have we got anything to lose by claiming him?

 

[Winger98]

We have to claim this guy. Why are the Flyers waiving him? He has 11 points on the year, playing 20 minutes a night...just seems funny they're waiving him.

Yes, playing time for Dekeyser

He seems to be a scapegoat there. They healthy scratched him a lot at the beginning of the season.

 

[Frk It]

This would somewhat making up for not getting Krug for me.

 

[Mister Ed]

He's signed for another 2 years at 3.25M salary (4.5M cap hit) after this one. That might make the claim a little more difficult.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

There's no reason not to claim him. I'd easily rather have him then Staal or Nemeth, who are hopefully gone at deadline/or not re-signed.

He's signed for another 2 years at 3.25M salary (4.5M cap hit) after this one. That might make the claim a little more difficult.

Meaning that it's more likely that one of the other teams might claim him?

Capspace for acquiring dumps with picks attached?

 

[Frk It]

Why isn't he on our team yet?

 

[Mister Ed]

Meaning that it's more likely that one of the other teams might claim him?

Meaning that he's more of a 3 year comitment than just this year.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

It seems like odd timing, considering his somewhat resurgent season. He's -6 the past 14gp, so he may be a scapegoat for the losing streak and/or salary/cap dump . -1 on the season, 11pt/25gp isn't bad at all.

Hope we claim him.

 

[bedtime20]

Claim him, please!

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Capspace for acquiring dumps with picks attached?

only to then hope those low-lowest% picks (2nd-7th) become as good as Ghost is right now & at a time we need PMD/PP Dmen who can skate.

This is a layup for SY.
