Waived: Tyler Johnson (upd: clears)

[InfinityIggy]

Does Yzerman claim him?

 

[Flukeshot]

If Detroit claims, you can expect the trade back shortly, w/ Detroit retaining.

Hmmm is that allowed?

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Think anyone claims him?

Production has gone down over the years, but that could just be due to being buried on the Tampa depth chart.

 

[JoemAvs]

Obviously was going to happen if they couldn't make it work with a team that he was willing to go to...
Yay I got one right....

Will be interesting if Detroit, Buffalo, Ottawa or NJ will bite on claiming him for free...

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Haha Tampa is in trouble..

 

[These Are The Days]

Oof boys

 

[dkollidas]

Could this be the year where the bad teams don’t bail the good teams out of their bad decisions????

Maybe all it took was a global pandemic & economic recession.

 

[CupInSIX]

Would have thought a team would have taken him for a 7th.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

And Detroit has first dibs on him, Takes care of our 2C for at least one year and then deal him off to Seattle next summer.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Nobody wants to help Tampa it seems

Nor should they. f*** em.

 

[The Macho King]

I'm wondering if this is getting around his NTC.

Either that or a buyout needs to happen.

 

[abo9]

MB stay away *cross fingers*

 

[DFC]

He won't go to the AHL. This is purely to try to get somebody to take him off our hands. Come ooooon Steve Yzerman.

 

[GoldiFox]

Crazy, obviously they couldn't find any takers.

They couldn't find any takes on his approved list. Johnson had a full NTC.

Now any team can pick him up for free. Rough for him but thems is the breaks.

 

[SensFactor]

Only a handful of teams will take on that contract if any.

 

[yvrtojfk]

wOoooooooooooowwwww.

 

[serp]

Nobody is taking that contract off waivers.

 

[PensandCaps]

A team gave a Worse player in Anderson 5.5x7.

Johnson should get claimed. But probably won't.

 

[Iggys Dome]

This is insane

 

[Random schmoe]

Tampa's really just threatening/forcing him to waive his NTC. "Either get stuck playing in the AHL, or be more flexible about a trade."

Edit: (That of course assumed he isn't claimed.)

 

[Flyer lurker]

Hmmm is that allowed?

It sure is!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Let him pass.

If anything, cheaper deal on re entry.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Would have thought a team would have taken him for a 7th.

Doesn't he have full no-trade protection? Maybe there was a team that would have.

 

[895]

What's the waivers order?

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Ottawa needs to hit the cap floor
