Waived: 2017-18 Ongoing Waivers Thread

[Mike Jones]

"Buyout waivers" isn't a thing. Unconditional Waivers is the correct term.

OK. I thought there was a separate category for buyouts.

Unconditional Waivers is a separate type of waiver then Regular Waivers. And Unconditional Waivers are required before a buyout. However Unconditional Waivers can be used without a buyout. The only difference between the two types is how much $ a team must pay if they win a waiver claim. Unconditional Waivers is $500, while Regular Waivers has a sliding scale depending on player position and years of experience that range from a few thousand to nearly six figures.

Seems like a strange time of year for waivers that don't lead to either a buyout or a contract termination.

Might just be testing the waters, or his agent has said there is interest.

Did Holzer clear?

Did Holzer clear?

Yes, so not really sure what that was about
Maybe they'll put him onto unconditionals soon, but wanted to tempt someone to take him at full waiver price first? Pure speculation.

35+ contract.

Eugene is in 7th heaven.

$2.5M cap hit with "only" $833K of real money spent this season !

He'd be in the ECHL if I ran the team and not renewed afterwards.

Stone an healthy star!

Please repeat after me : I, Noah Rod... "I know a rod"

Any reason why? He seemed like he still has solid potential, but enjoyed his homeland more than developing in the AHL. Not sure I can blame here.

Nah, it happens once or twice a year for arbitration.
It's a strategy to lower a player's value before they head into arb ("see! no one even wanted him for free on waivers! why would we pay him as much as he wants?")

Gemel goes to arbitration August 1

Weird - I didn't know it happened before. For some reason this is the offseason I've noticed it.

Guess I should make a new thread for this season



Figured this was coming as it was reported yesterday he showed up in unacceptable shape and was immediately assigned to the AHL
