Anaheim needed a RD.

 

[EXTRAS]

Nice.

 

[Crazy8oooo]

Verbeek grabbing an insurance policy in case things go (further) South with Drysdale.

 

[Michoulicious]

Anaheim does not have enough young Ds in their system. lol

 

[SpezDispenser]

It's a good, no risk pick up. Wonder why we kept jbd over him, but their pretty equal I guess.

 

[WarriorofTime]

How long does he need to stay up before he isn't returned to Ottawa's AHL team if they put him through again and nobody claims him?

JBD is better.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Hmm, pretty surprising. I wonder if OTT claim him back if ANA waives him in the next month

30 days rings a bell, but not positive without checking.

 

[SpezDispenser]

JBD is better.

Not by much, if at all imo. Better defender by a small margin, thomson is a much better puck mover though.

The need more RHD willing to play in the NHL for under $1M/year.

If he goes back on Waivers and nobody claims him, he automatically goes back to Ottawa's AHL affiliate, no claim necessary. It's a fairly common sense rule to prevent teams from doing Waiver shenanigans to claim other teams' AHL guys and get them to their own AHL team.

Anaheim did have the Number 1 Waiver priority based on last year's standings, so it's not completely no risk (although still low risk of course), and does suggest that they are definitely planning to keep him on the roster as opposed to a "what the hell, let's see what happens" more extended Camp tryout.

What does them having #1 waiver priority have to do with it being no risk or not? It’s a completely no risk claim for them. If he works out then they benefit, if he doesn’t, they just throw him back on waivers with nothing to lose.

It just means they are choosing to use their #1 waiver priority on this guy rather than waiting to see who else gets put through.

There is opportunity cost to everything, this is of course lower opportunity cost than most other things.

Maybe he'll go to Oz before reporting to Anaheim.

Doesn’t work that way. They still keep the #1 slot.

They stay number 1. Claiming a guy has no effect on waiver order.

OK, my mistake then, I thought they lose it for the remainder of the preseason and went to the bottom of the pack, my bad on that.

No problem with this pick up. If he sucks, then he gets waived again.

Not correct, I believe. Ottawa would still need to put in a claim, otherwise he goes to Anaheim's AHL affiliate.

so they need to make a nominal claim to get him back to the AHL? Likely more of a formality, unless they really hated the guy for whatever reason

They keep their #1 Priority until Nov 1st.
