Stephen King is on waivers?

 

[DarkHorse2]

Feels like every team is waiting for the last minute to dump their waivers on the wire, in the hopes that a deluge will hide players.

It's the same thing every year.

 

[Mike Jones]

It's the same thing every year.

Which is why they need to bring back the old waiver draft.

Feels like every team is waiting for the last minute to dump their waivers on the wire, in the hopes that a deluge will hide players.

Which I never understand. If anyone really thinks players can be hidden, when it's public knowledge, and written down, there are no secrets. At most, I would buy that teams waive guys as late as possible, when every other GM has their own team pretty much set. A last minute injury might do something, but for the most part, if you can play, you're probably not on waivers anyway.

Try to sneak in Ho-Sang. I see what you guys on the Island are doing!

Leafs put Harpur Schamltz Aberg and Gaudet on waivers today.

Leafs put Harpur Schamltz Aberg and Gaudet on waivers today.

Is anybody going to claim either Harpur or Aberg?

 

[justafan22]

Is anybody going to claim either Harpur or Aberg?

I could see Harpur due to his size.

The others, no.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Schmaltz would be worth a look on waivers.

 

[uncleben]

Is anybody going to claim either Harpur or Aberg?

I like what I've seen from both, but looking at who else has already cleared, I'd be surprised if they are claimed

 

[Name Nameless]

Does this mean everybody from yesterday cleared?

 

[WTFMAN99]

Haven't seen any indication on any claims from yesterday or anyone besides the Leafs players going onto waivers.

 

[caley]

I like Joe Hicketts, though I doubt he gets claimed

the idea is teams have just made hard decisions to pare down to a roster and decided to keep certain guys up and are going to hesitate to revisit those decisions. there may even be cap reasons that make it hard just before the cap sets.

but then again there is also an argument you can sneak guys down by waiving early while other teams are still evaluating.

so who knows.

I have never figured this one out. Think of it from a bottom-feeder view: You know there will be some guys waived from the best teams you certainly would have kept if they were with you. Guys on the way up, and already better than some of those you have. So if I was Ottawa, I would have planned to have one or two roster spots reserved for new players all the way through preseason camp.

Ottawa is a particularly strange and bad case though because the one thing about waivers and not lowpick / future considerations / minor leaguers trades is that waiver claims cost actual cash out of pocket. There may be no team in the league more inclined to go for the low-value-asset-trade route than the wait-for-waiver-and-spend-only-cash route than the team with the most cash strapped owner.

If Ottawa wanted, say, Aberg, they’d have negotiated a seventh round pick trade for him ahead of waiver announce, rather than have the team most concerned with cash send money to the team with the least actual cash concern.

I remember when Tinordi and Puempel had heavy hype

You could essentially sell a 7th (by trading away salary or something at the tdl) for more in a trade than you could the what is it 15-20k for Aberg's transfer fee? Not sure if he's a 5th or 6th year.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Schmaltz would be worth a look on waivers.

I had hopes for this guy... he literally negatively stood out whenever I watched doesnt look NHL caliber.
Heck Marincin looks sturdier

 

[CupInSIX]

I remember when Tinordi and Puempel had heavy hype

...they did?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

...they did?

Tinordi did for a minute with Hab fans.
