Waived: 2020-21 Waivers Thread

[AslanRH]

Mete and Vats might have value once they clear.
especially Vats who @50% and able to be stashed on the taxi squad can be decent depth for playoff teams

Won't he be cleared too late for the deadline though?
I could be wrong, this league has so many rules that I'm fuzzy on

Waivers clear the following day at noon EST. The trade deadline is at 3pm EST. So there is a 3 hour window there to trade Vatanen if he clears

Right, that sounds familiar now. Thanks!

Kind of surprised Dekeyser didn't get claimed

$5M Cap Hit, for NEXT season as well, with no Hit going out,
is huge commitment in Flat-Cap era

5mil next year probably why

 

[mouser]

If claimed by any team he would still be ineligible to play in the NHL for the remainder of the season, including playoffs.

Here's what may have happened with McCormick:

1) McCormick last cleared waivers on Jan 21st.
2) Yesterday was the 10th game McCormick has played in while on Emergency Recall since clearing waivers. Meaning his waiver clearance has expired.
3) Players on Emergency Recall must be returned to the Taxi/AHL when the injury causing the emergency is over.
4) Teams can also use 4 Regular Recalls after the Trade Deadline.
5) So Carolina has the choice (a) placing McCormick on waivers before sending him to the taxi squad, or (b) Using one of the 4 Regular Recalls to convert McCormick to a non-emergency roster player.
6) However, it looks like Carolina may have already used all 4 of their Regular Recalls. Ryan/Bean (APR26), Bean (APR15), Gadiner(APR12). Though it's possible the April 15th Bean was an Emergency Recall.
7) If Carolina is out of Regular Recalls then the only option available to them is (a) place McCormick on waivers before returning him to the taxi squad.

As he is a UFA after this season, claiming him now would only make him mad. Taking away from the possibility of being part of a run, for nothing? I doubt that would be seen as a chess-move.

This time of year a claim like this would be a dick move and probably not be appreciated by most.

Where does Seattle slot in the waivers claim order to start next season?

 

[uncleben]

Where does Seattle slot in the waivers claim order to start next season?

I think 3rd last, like their lottery odds, but I may be misremembering that

 

[banks]

Where does Seattle slot in the waivers claim order to start next season?

And what Seattle players require waivers? That was a big problem for Vegas when they started their first season. They had too many roster players after the expansion draft and had to get creative to try not to lose some on waivers.

That's what led to the Shipachyov problem.

 

[uncleben]

And what Seattle players require waivers?

Everyone except Daccord and Henman

That should make things interesting.

Thanks for finding that, when I should have just looked it up myself.

No new waivers means no more buyouts

5 is a low number in a normal year
I thought there would be even more with the flat cap

 

[Name Nameless]

No new waivers means no more buyouts

NMC buyouts is technically one day more, right? As they don't go on waivers?

Unless I am wrong. Sadly, that happens all the time.

Did the Martin Jones buyout become official or no?

No, that's right. Fair point, a NMC buyout where they skip the waivers could still be processed in time, I believe
(And we could see more once arbitrations are handed out)

Did the Martin Jones buyout become official or no?

Jones is still a Shark (and Holtby still a Canuck, to touch on those rumours too)

Okay, so apparently I was wrong!
Today is the last day to initiate buyouts I guess, not formalize them

Holtby, Neal, and Jones are on waivers today. None have NMCs so they still have to clear tomorrow and then be bought out, but I guess that counts.
