Who is Michael Haley? And why is Nieto the one being waived over 30 year old 5'10 Michael Haley and his 7 points in 97 NHL games?
Cause according to SJ fans he is their coaches favorite pet.
I think we know a thing or two about those...
The Avs have struggled to bring in quality bottom 6 guys for an eternity now.
We have first waiver priority, he is cheap and will be an RFA (aka cheap to re-sign if we want to) in the offseason.
I really don't see any legit reason why we should not claim him. He is worlds better than anything we have in the AHL aside from our top prospects.
If we are really serious about adressing our depth problems, passing on an opportunity like that is not very smart.
Do that for once instead of overpaying the yearly Colborne, please...
But knowing the Avs there is maybe a 5 % chance of this happening...
