Rebooting myself
If Bieksa doesn't waive the Ducks can just buy him out. But I've outlined my sound reasoning as to why he likely waives, what's your counter argument?
Could be a lot worse than trading a player who has a similar yet higher upside NHL replacement in house. Also no one is claiming the Ducks expansion situation is better than those teams, but it's a lot better than the clubs who are losing a good player no matter what - and a lot better than people are making it out to be.
You have not made your case why he waives. He is getting bought out 48 hours after the final. Even without bieska. Ducks still have to expose a good dman. Math is not hard here. Ducks have no choice but to buy out bieska. You theory is he waives but I do not see him doing it to be a nice guy. I am will to get the NHLPA will be putting pressure on players not to waive
