I feel like we know less about this team now than ever before. Landy's injury is a great example, why the heck they're waiving players for no reason, random call ups and sending them down after they played well... Not a lot of anything makes sense. They're going back to being as air locked as the KGB.

Same as the Mitchell situation. They waived him only to see if a team would bite and take on his salary. It's not about getting them in San Antonio.
Either two things are going on.
1) Avs don't see Gelinas in their future plans, thus they waived him in the hopes of a team grabbing his contract, giving the Avs more flexibility for the future. This is what Avs did with Johnny Mitchell.
2) Sometimes when you have a trade in the works, the other team requests the player to be put on waivers so they can send him down at any time (without their fear of losing him). This in particular happens quite a bit with borderline NHL players, Avs did this with Kyle Cuminskey when trading him to the Ducks. It also could have happened when Avs traded Parros to Ducks for a 2nd rounder, but my memory is a bit clouded on details.
There is a lot of rumours of Peter Holland being available from the Leafs. He isn't anything breathtaking, but brings a good mixture of size and toughness when having the puck. IMO a trade for him for Gelinas makes too much sense since Toronto are looking for defenders as well.

To me it's a bit different than the Mitchell situation since Gelinas' replacement has already been brought in. And Bednar said Goloubef is going to get a look. Mitchell they'd never actually send down, Gelinas I think they absolutely would make that swap when they are ready to see Goloubef.

That'd be quite a lazy and unprofessional way to do things. Sending an email (or just a call) to the other GM's to ask them if they are interested would be a bit more appropriate.

950K will go away, the rest (if there is any and in this case is) counts against the cap.
applies for all players except 35+ year olds who are on 2nd or later year of a multi-year deal.

Probably has a good deal to do with his rather high cap hit ($1.8M if I'm not mistaken, pretty high for a 3rd pairing guy)

I don't really think healthy scratching will have much of a long term effect on this group of players.
Perhaps sitting EJ/Barrie a period if they keep playing like they are will have desired effect but Colborne/Söderberg/Grigorenko? They are what they are.
I liked G-Bork last night. He's not that good, but he's playing hard and doesn't take bad penalties when forechecking.
