Claimed off Waivers: [CBJ] Blue Jackets claim G Spencer Martin off waivers from the Canucks

[Huhu]

So long Spencer, hope it works out in Columbus. Really a shame that he got thrown to the wolves last season.

 

[uncleben]

For those interested, this cost Columbus $11,250, paid to Vancouver and not counted against the cap.

 

[Jovavic]

Tarasov is waiver eligible. Do the CBJ try to sneak Martin through waivers later in pre-season?

Tarasov is injured already, Glasscal Leclaire 2.0

 

[S E P H]

He will be in Tampa or Colorado tomorrow

Tampa isn't going to have a goaler duo of Martin and Johansson now lol.

Doesn't Columbus already have their tandem? This seems like an odd move

I thought so too but like Jova mentioned a few posts ago, Tarasov is hurt, he has yet to skate in training camp.

Yeah, we have an iffy tandem when both are healthy, but Tarasov has a new knee issue. It’s unclear if Dell is impressing enough at camp to get a contract to be the #3, or if this is a sign that Dell is unlikely to be signed. Any one capable of playing NHL games is welcome, and might be a better option than either Elvis or Tarasov.

I know Elvis was awful last year, but let's be serious season and/or career ending injury aside there is no way Spencer Martin is a better option

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Columbus for another 1 mil a year could have gotten a real goaltender - DeSmith.

Almost makes up for the OEL buyout.

Weird vcr didn't want to hold him till end of preseason but whatever i guess lol

Martin would go back to the waiver list and then if he made it all the way down wouldn't he revert to Vancouvers property ?

 

[vanarchy]

Low risk move by COL.

Only if the Canucks want him back. Which they may not as they have Silovs as their #3 already.

Yea I think they were happy to shed the $750k contract and gain a roster spot with this move.

 

[Kranix]

Great tandem they have there in columbus now. Two of the three worst goalies in the league last year.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Merzlikins needs to be much better and can be waived without fear of being claimed if necessary also. I’d have waited I think for another name but I guess they get to see Martin up close and can waive him if necessary at end of training camp.

 

[ujju2]

As an Oilers fan I've been fairly impressed with Martin every time I've seen him (admittedly not too many times) despite his bad stats. Don't mind this for Columbus.

He would only go back to Vancouver if Vancouver made a successful claim on him
A player going on waivers a second time in a season is actually the exact same process as the first. The only minor difference (which is often what gets mixed up) is that if the original club (Vancouver this time) is the only club to put in a claim the second time, he can go straight to their minors

Yeah so if they keep waiving him the only team that can have him in the minors is Vancouver if they keep claiming him right ?

 

[Petes2424]

They’ll give him a couple of starts in the next week, and see where things end up. It’s safe to say they’re probably not done looking.

Essentially four possibilities

If Colorado waives him and he goes unclaimed, Colorado can send him to the minors.
If any team besides Vancouver claims him, he has to stay on their roster (or attempt waivers again to go down)
If Vancouver claims him, but any other team puts in an unsuccessful claim, he has to stay on their roster (or attempt waivers again to go down)
If Vancouver claims him and is the only team to put in a claim, they can send him down to the minors if they wish

Cbj instead of Colorado or did I miss another part to this

Hey! You’re not @mouser ! Imposter

Columbus*, yes! Sorry!

Friedman has been using VRC on twitter for at least a solid year and it drives people nuts.

Pretty sure he's also the only legit insider who uses MON for Montreal. Like why would you do that if you want to keep up your credibility?
