Waived: 2019-20 Ongoing Waivers Thread

Can't believe desmith went through

I'm surprised Arizona took Comrie ahead of him. Surprised no one took a swing at Biega too. Love that guy.

I’m amazed that Ho-Sang and Sprong made it through.

I guess the Wings and Blashill want to see what 24yo Ehn and his 9pts can do on the 3rd line instead ...

I can’t wait until this damn coach is fired.

Wonder if we'll see some trades for some guys because teams couldn't take on the contract/cap of a guy waived?

 

[seafoam]

So after all that talk...Ho-Sang, Goldobin, Sprong all cleared?

Perhaps we’ll see some trades today. Teams prefer to swap contracts and guys have more value after having gone through waivers.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Pretty shocked more weren't claimed. Lets see if anyone gets moved in the next day or two.

 

[ShelbyZ]

I'm actually not surprised by DeSmith clearing.

If a team claims DeSmith and he doesn't pan out there, that team is stuck with a guy on a one-way deal making more than what is buryable for the next 3 years.

Teams may not have wanted a 3 year 1-way contract at 1.25 M per year.

 

[Sam Spade]

Can't believe desmith went through

1.25 for three years will do that.

So only two guys out of everyone since camps began.

 

[Icarium]

Much ado about nothing.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

good catch on DeSmith contract...didn't know he had such a hefty one for a fringe goalie.

 

[Sam Spade]

I am most surprised that Sprong didn't get claimed. Makes you wonder what is being said about him behind the scenes.

Panthers place RD GUSTAV BOURAMMAN on waivers

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Im surprised Djoos wen't unclaimed.. you'd think a young defenseman who won the cup 2 years ago gets a look. If he was 6'3" instead of 5'11" it's him going to WPG not Dahlstrom.

Yeah but he is already a proven backup really. 36 games last year with a .916 sv. pct.

 

[Canes]

I'm surprised that other people are still surprised that most players clear waivers.

Comrie is probably a short term claim for Arizona. Raanta still isn't cleared to play. They already have two solid goalies.

DeSmith has term. It makes him more difficult to unload when Raanta returns.

The Coyotes can either re-waive Comrie, or flip him to another team for a late pick like Pittsburgh did with Condon to Ottawa a few years ago. This is assuming there was another team lower in the priority who wanted Comrie.

 

[Riptide]

Sprong and DeSmith are surprising....

Sprong, not so much. At least for most who've watched him play last season. But Comrie getting claimed and DeSmith clearing is quite the surprise

 

[Ctrain2k]

That’s how you end up stuck with a guy like Andrew Hammond. What’s that say about him when he had a year like that and they still waived him anyway?

 

[Riptide]

Fringe goalies dont typically put up .916 type numbers. His stats are very good.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I'm guessing some of these guys will be moved in contract for contract deals

 

[Riptide]

That Pittsburgh had a bad cap issue. And seeing how he put up .921 the year before... I dont think I it's quite the fluke you're trying to say it is. One season, sure. But when youre looking at multiple seasons where hes putting up .916 or better, it starts to become a pattern and not an aberration.

 

[Sam Spade]

I'm surprised that other people are still surprised that most players clear waivers.

I don't think anyone will ever get claimed BUT I feel like there is something there with Sprong. Hopefully he finds it in San Diego and gets another chance.

It says they like Tristan Jarry quite a bit, which they do.

You have a point, but DeSmith's numbers in college and AHL are better, more consistent than someone like Andrew Hammond.
