I just got here, has anyone made a 'rare move' joke yet?

 

[GKJ]

This has to be the first time someone got a contract extension while on waivers

 

[Magic Mittens]

Has this ever happened before?

Odd way of doing things, for sure.

Could this actually be a way to scare teams away from claiming a player?

In other words, a team may be willing to give Moverare a trial run to end the year but not extend him sight unseen for two additional years.

I know people will say “well this is just the league minimum, why would that scare anybody off?” But I’m thinking more from a roster construction standpoint and what contracts you want to take into next year’s 50-man roster.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Scare away the teams who just want to run out the clock.

Man, Moverare is having a busy day.


Have to assume this is the Kings trying to make him a less desirable claim, with extra term commitment. Presumably this is a 1-way extension to maximize that deterrent?

Hilarious though...contextually. "Hey kid, you done so well we're going to waive you...but with a brand new contract extension! Enjoy!"

 

[Osprey]

According to CapFriendly, it's a one-way contract, so he gets paid $775K whether he plays in the NHL or AHL. That could discourage some teams from claiming him on waivers.

We waived Moverare to make room for Moverare, truly a spectacular mind blake has

 

[VanillaCoke]

I'd claim him

You may be right but we all thought the same thing about Englund getting a $1 mil/2 years/1 way deal last summer and look how that turned out.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Claim him out of spite.

If it isn't the first instance, it's a rare move nevertheless.

Jesus Christ, Blake. What the hell are you doing..

 

[CDJ]

meh I think it’s kinda smart if you like the player and think he’ll play a role next year

Baseball teams do something similar to this too- maybe not a true extension like this but with guys they know they’re likely to DFA at some point. They’ll make the contract a little more unpalatable for other teams to absorb- I know the Sox did something like this with Franchy Cordero a couple years ago

 

[Seattle King]

Blake's version of 4D chess, "Lets waive this guy nobody wants then sign him to an extension while he's waived, that will show them what a mastermind I really am, right Pierre-Luc?"

 

[Choralone]

Well, good. I like Movrerare - he's an excellent 7th D that could be a full-time 3rd-pairing D if we need.

Tired: Sign & Trade

Wired: Sign & Waive

How about 'steadda tired and wired we go with shit and lit? Justin idea.

 

[ru4reals]

I don't care what they do with Moverare, just someone please claim JAD.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Is he a stay at home defender? Cause that name would be super fitting if he were a staybat home type defender lol
