Waived: My humble apologies

[AuroraBorealis]

I was mistaken in my faith in Radim Zohorna. @Gurglesons saw the truth all along, which I was blind to. I was wrong to ignore his words of warning.
Zohorna got placed on waivers today after 5 days with Calgary. You could say he flamed out.
A different club didn't value him in the end, after I was so infernally convinced that they would.
What caused me to be so led astray? I don't know. I can only hope to make smarter predictions in the future when assessing fringe players.
I must be more humble in my beliefs and more attentive to different perspectives of veteran posters.

Please don't delete this mods, as this was a bet made in good faith.

I welcome all criticisms in the comment section below...criticism which I deserve.
Once again, my apologies, Pixies.

Sincerely, @AuroraBorealis

I have no idea what this thread is but I'll use the opportunity to talk about Zohorna.

I'm not a doom and gloomer like so many here and it's not with particularly elevated emotion that I say I was surprised and sad to see him claimed by Calgary. I thought he looked good in stints here and would crack our lineup this season.

So has he been sent down to Calgary's AHL team? If so, could somebody claim him if the Flames try to recall him or no?

Am I wrong to think he has a future in the NHL?

I think he could play like 200 NHL games. We likely get him back.

Pens have first dibs at picking him up, don't they?

 

[K Fleur]

Pixies said they quit this board and came back a week later.

I would like a written apology for that as well.

Last dibs, according to Taylor Haase

This could be a monumental day in Penguin’s history.

Rejoice!

I thought we had first dibs at grabbing someone we waived and was claimed if they got waived again? Weird how I missed that all these years haha.

I thought that as well

I wouldn't be surprised if Sully tells Hextall to not bring him back since he said he never got a chance here. He seems like he'd be all about holding a grudge for something stupid like that.

Same, but Taylor Haase is usually right. I wonder when this changed.

If nobody else claims him, we can get him back and stash him in the AHL, if we want to. I don't know why we wouldn't want to.
Other teams get another chance to claim him though.

if i have to change my username back imma be pissed

You’re good. Hextall won’t promote him if we get him back unless we have a half dozen injuries, regardless of how well he plays.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Pens passed on reclaiming him.

It would be a 67k fee to do so.. Assuming that's why

Ooof. This was the bet for a basically nobody of a hockey player?
haha... classic.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Not surprised the flames waived him, he needs time to get up to speed in the flames system. I am surprised the Pens didn’t file a claim on him to get him back.
