Nope, that won't change until November 1, then it goes by standings. Claims don't affect the order.

Is there a time interval where Toronto cannot claim another player? Say we make a claim for Mcilrath and Toronto decides they want him too, does TO have to wait 24 hrs or so before they have priority over us?

No, they have consistent priority for the next month (edit: or until Nov. 1, I should say).

Russell is a better fit here than Fayne. Maybe not the Fayne that we were "supposed" to be getting from NJ, but surely better than the Fayne that we've seen this year and last.
Really you don't think teams have scouts and watch a player play ? You think a team makes a trade blindly ? Well maybe Mac T did ( Nikitin )but most teams do their due diligence before making a trade
Griffin Reinhart trade? Or how about when the Leafs confused Jeff Finger with Sauer? So it happens. The other thing is, even if teams watch a player, doesn't always mean they get the right information out of those viewings.
Oh and as for the waivers stuff I see the Oilers are still Oilering.

Yeah, I mean why didn't we jump on everyone else's trash? Obviously another rebuild year...
Yeah why take on cheap depth when you can throw a few rookies into spots they haven't proven to be ready for.
Why anyone would give this org's decisions the benefit of the doubt is simply baffling.

The only one that hasn't proven they're ready, is Puljujarvi.

Michalek was the only veteran on waivers who filled a need here, and it's understandable why he went unclaimed. He's owed a lot of money and we still have the Fayne albatross to carry beyond this season.
Barring Fayne or a similar contract/player @ 50% for Michalek, I don't see a way the Yotes move him. Not really a fail on Edmonton's part.

You do realize he's only here because of the Versteeg injury, right? Why take on a $1M+ contract for a year or more when you can give nine games to your top prospect?

Must have found a taker for Fayne then. Chia has managed to turn our crap into slightly more useful crap, so curious to see what move materializes.
Is there any indication he hasn't? Even if by some miracle he does start in the A, the depth on RW is so paper thin that you know full well he'll be in the lineup before too long whether it's warranted or not.

With Gryba and Versteeg signings, where are we at with number of contracts?
EDIT: yes I know Versteeg's isn't official... yet

Given our current roster I'm not going to ***** too hard about who we passed up especially since everyone still with the team other than Puljujarvi played well enough to deserve a crack at a roster spot, but we've been the worst team in the league for the majority of the last decade and very rarely dipped into the waiver wire to improve our team. A general criticism about our unwillingness to make waiver claims is not unwarranted, there have certainly been players that could of helped in the past decade.
