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 is why they need to bring back the old waiver draft.It's the same thing every year.

Is anybody going to claim either Harpur or Aberg?Leafs put Harpur Schamltz Aberg and Gaudet on waivers today.

I like what I've seen from both, but looking at who else has already cleared, I'd be surprised if they are claimedIs anybody going to claim either Harpur or Aberg?
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.
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 like Joe Hicketts, though I doubt he gets claimed
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 had hopes for this guy... he literally negatively stood out whenever I watched doesnt look NHL caliber.Schmaltz would be worth a look on waivers.
I remember when Tinordi and Puempel had heavy hype
Tinordi did for a minute with Hab fans....they did?
