I thought last year when flyers grabbed pickard he had to be in 10 games or something otherwise I’d waived, the originating team could take him back and stash right in ahl
I'm not sure on that one in regards to Pickard. 10 games/30 days is the length they need to be in the NHL before they have to be subject to waivers again.
The way the CBA is written, in a hypothetical where the Coyotes retained Comrie and simply waived him and the Jets wanted him back:
If the Jets put in a claim and a team or teams lower in pts% also puts one in: He goes to the team with the lowest pts%
If the Jets put in a claim and a team or teams higher in pts% also puts one in: He goes to the Jets, but if they want to put him in the AHL, they have to waive him again.
If the Jets put in a claim and are the only team that does so: They get him and it basically acts as though he "cleared" waivers and can be assigned to and from the AHL until he's in ten games or spends 30 days on the NHL roster.
My question is if the above still stood despite Comrie's trade to Detroit but it doesn't seem like it.
