Confirmed with Link: Canes claim Martin Frk

I guess the guy just didn't have anything to offer? Oh well, let's see which Red Wing we pluck next from the waiver wire.

I think he has more to offer than we've seen. He's played in one NHL game on the fourth line.

Detroit makes sense. They were the only team that can now place him immediately in the AHL without putting him back on waivers.

 

[Joe McGrath]

The Wings immediately sent him to Grand Rapids. Didn't we have this debate on the board about whether or not the guy had to go back on waivers again? Anyway, there's your answer.

13.22 When a Club claims a Player on Regular or Unconditional Waivers, and, subsequently, in the same season it requests Waivers on the same Player and the original owning Club is the successful and only Club making a Waiver claim, then the original owning Club shall be entitled to Loan such Player to a club in another league within thirty days without further Waivers being asked; provided that such Player has not participated in ten or more NHL Games (cumulative) and remained on an NHL roster more than thirty days (cumulative) following such successful claim.

That (in bold) is the key term that has led to confusion in the past. If Detroit claimed him and was successful, but another team with lower priority claimed him also, then they WOULD need to waive him again to send him down.

Since they were the ONLY team making a claim, they could send him down without waivers.
