Confirmed with Link: Coyotes claim Kevin Connauton from CBJ

As someone noted on Twitter.... Elliot's been a healthy scratch.

Which is funny, because Connauton is essentially a lefty Elliot.

A few of us were commenting that the D has to get faster, so if Connauton can skate as well as Elliot I'll be very happy.

...because Tippett doesn't change his roster at all if the team's winning.

And Michalek is healthy.

Don't believe KConn is known for his skating ability....may be the weakest part of his game.

+10 on the Jackets, best on the team by 7. No favorable zone starts. Keep him away from top competition and he will be good, like Schlemko. Chayka influenced move for sure.

Maloney says this move adds "much needed defensive depth", so I imagine that Dahlbeck and any of the other D aren't going anywhere.

Likely a forward on the way out.

According to my research (Spotrac) Dahlbeck has a two-way contract; doesn't that mean we can move him to the A? Elliott also has a two-way. Of the two, I think Dahlbeck would benefit more than Elliott with some extra ice-time in Springfield (we can rotate Michalek and Elliott depending on performance).

One way or two way has nothing to do with waivers, just what a player is paid in the event they are sent down to the AHL.

Ah, thanks. I have little familiarity with all of these player contract things.

Ah, thanks. I have little familiarity with all of these player contract things.

A one way deal is what Domingue tried to hustle Maloney for. He would have been paid an NHL salary, even if he got demoted. NHL contracts are guaranteed money, unless there's a buyout, so it's a security blanket for players that feel they've earned an NHL deal.

A two way deal means there's a separate negotiated pay rate for the player in the AHL, whatever that may be. All rookie contracts (referred to as ELCs aka entry level contracts) are automatically two way. There's a 50 contracts per organization limit. Players in the Canadian junior leagues that are signed do not count against that total until they start playing pro hockey in the AHL or NHL (Fischer, MacInnis, Garland etc...).

He's made changes during a streak before. But it has to be an exceptional reason.

Stefan Elliott on waivers.

Stefan Elliott on waivers.

Good grief.

 

[Plub]

I don't get it. He was showing good progress and plays on the right side.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Stefan Elliott on waivers.

Should bring a chuckle to Avs fans.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Me either. Although of the current defensive corps he's probably safest from being claimed since he cleared already prior to the Gormley trade.

 

[allan5oh]

...How long can we exceed the 23 roster limit?

You can't. What happens is a player is designated as a non-roster player. 16.12 (b) in the CBA. Elliott was designated as a non-roster player as soon as you claimed Connauton.

 

[allan5oh]

Also I'm more than willing to bet that there's a bit of a gentlemans agreement around the league to not claim Elliott.

I could see it, we're kind of obligated to keep Scott up at this point so it wouldn't surprise me.

Wasn't Gormley waived not too long ago as well?

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Yes, and he cleared.
