Waived: 2020-21 Waivers Thread

[Junohockeyfan]

A lot of this is cap relief

Its all cap relief as GMs know the players won't be picked up.

 

[Treb]

So if Byron clears which he most likely will he can be sent to the taxi squad. How much does this help our cap ? Mousser?

1.075 million.
NHL CBA FAQ - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

What is a Buried Contract?
Teams do not receive full cap relief when a player on a one-way NHL contract is reassigned to the American Hockey League, or is loaned to a team in another professional league.
The players salary cap hit, minus the sum of the minimum NHL salary for the respective season and $375,000, still counts towards the team’s salary cap total.
The cap hit relief is therefore equal to the minimum salary of the respective season + $375,000:

• 2020-21: $700,000 + $375,000 = $1,075,000

Someone should pick up Byron. Little spark plug that can rebound.

Is Ottawa in a position to claim the home town boy Byron? It seems he'd be a pretty good add to a team filled with young players.

In position yes but would be a dumb move for them.

Why would it be dumb? Is it a cap thing?

Money wise, just would be a dumb move.
They could call Montreal after he clears and work out a trade where they get paid to take him.

Garth Snow would be all about claiming Carlsson, seems like a good flyer to take.

 

[uncleben]

Apparently Lindholm's waivers are unconditional for mutual termination (going to SHL)

Carlsson seems like a good pick up, can cbj fans say?

3.4 million cap hit
4 goals in his last 50+ games
2 years remaining after this season

Take your pick from above

 

[Bouboumaster]

Byron is one of the fastest player in the league, easely. Excellent on the PK. Can put 10 goals per year.

But 3.4M a year is way too much. Love Byron, but would love him even more at 2M a year.

He is absolutly a NHL player tho and would be playing on almost any team's line-up right now.

The cap struggle is real.

I saw that too, but no official source confirmed that the waivers is unconditional and capfriendly list that like a regular waivers. Maybe later this week he will be put on unconditional but I don't think that yesterday's one was un unconditional.

seems like going SHL is the plan
AVSLÖJAR: Lindholm lämnar Boston för Skellefteå

seesm like going SHL is the plan
AVSLÖJAR: Lindholm lämnar Boston för Skellefteå

Yeah, I know that was the plan, my comment applied to the nature of the waivers of yesterday, even capfriendly had list it as a regular waiver but the correction was made this noon and it's confirmed for the unconditional.

From what I have read his skating is too slow for the NHL and provides almost zero offense.

Lots of players negotiated 2020-21 salaries that were lower then their contract average. The reason being there was a possibility that the CBA could terminate in 2020 and the 2020-21 season might be delayed if the parties couldn't negotiate a new CBA on time. Similar situation for 2022 and the 2022-23 season, which was the 2nd date the CBA could terminate.

If Byron stays on the taxi squad do the Habs get any cap savings at all ? From what I’ve read it doesn’t seem like much

They get $1,075,000. That's the most savings that can be banked by burying a player, this year
