Recalled/Assigned: Goalies waived

[oilers4life5]

Who is your back up goalie? Bobby Mac tweeted you waived both Karlsson and Irving. Possible trade?

Ortio appears to be the only one left under contract. Unless they're signing Brossoit (or trading or picking another goalie up off waivers) ?

Very confusing move by Feaster, but I never have any idea what is going through that guy's head. Also, he didn't even say hi to me when I wished him good luck this season before the Subway Super Series game in Victoria. Jerk ...

Linkage please...our backup is supposed to be one of those two, unless Brust is getting a chance, or Ramo is coming over.

More waivers: Blunden, St. Denis (MTL). Byron, Carson, Irving, Karlsson (CGY), Connor, C Johnson, N Johnson, Klinkhammer, Rechlicz (PHX).

Really strange....

Option 1: Trade of some sort.

Option 2: Signing Brust.

Option 3: Signing Ramo.

Should get interesting..

Sorry don't know how to link to twitter. It's on the main page too. Very interesting.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Wonder if we could get a mod to change the title to Irving & Karlsson Waived...

 

[DCDM]

This is quite confusing... I thought for sure it was going to be one of these guys. Who else could it be? Maybe Ramo is coming over sooner than we though...?

Well, this IS interesting. With three days to go before the Flames' opening night, who's playing backup? Or is Kiprusoff saying, "**** it, it's only 48 games, I can play the entire thing, have them develop in the AHL"?

But really, this points to a trade or a signing of Ramo. I think seeing Ramo is more likely, especially if Hartley has ever seen Ramo play in the KHL while he was coaching in the Swiss leagues.

Looks like Bobby Mac is now saying Irving is not on waivers. Sorry for the confusion. Would be nice if Bobby doubled check his tweets before sending.

He originally posted it as "Irving Leland" and later said he transposed the names... don't see anywhere that McKenzie said he's not on waivers, only that he got the first/last names wrong.

I think Irving won't be going down? Mistake of some sort?

No he just had the first and last name swapped and was correcting himself I believe. I think they were both sent down.

This can't be a mistake. GMs don't make those kinds of mistakes. Something else is going on.

I agree with you guys my intuition tells me they are signing Ramo.

I KNEW I should have attended the Flames' open practice today. Just to listen to the hearsay on the ice...

You are correct. Sorry for the confusion. Both goalies still on waivers.

 

[SickHandsNoShot]

This is really wierd. Maybe they are hoping one gets picked up, so that they can sign Taylor or Brust... Or that whoever doesnt get picked up gets the backup job... But I can't see them leaving this up to chance.

I was thinking maybe it was to clear space for an unrelated trade. Still, yeah leaving it to chance seems awfully strange.

 

[Oilercreeper]

Good one FEASTER! You better have a good plan for this one.....

 

[Ynnek]

I wonder if anyone will put a claim in. This is a strange move.

 

[oilers4life5]

Maybe you are getting a backup along with another piece in a trade? Did you guys want an upgrade at backup?

 

[n00bxQb]

The Islanders have been snapping up players on waivers like crazy. I fully expect them to claim Irving. Leafs may also put in a waiver claim.

 

[HighLifeMan]

It's called giving your team flexibility. Neither has taken the bull by the horns in training camp, so a little kick in the rear end is never a bad idea.

They have yet to decide who the backup will be, and this gives them the opportunity to freely send one of them down when they make a decision.

If one gets claimed then great we have found our backup for the season.

Most Flames here thought Irving or Karlsson would fight for the spot. I can't imagine what backup we would want in a trade...There was talking of giving Brust a call up though.

Sigh, you are probably right. Would not be surprised if Irving is gone.

Good point, but if they are both claimed?

Also choosing a backup based on a process of who doesn't get picked up on waiver is a ****ing stupid idea.

So we are going to go with whichever backup is deemed worse by the NHL as a collective? How is that a logical plan lol.
