McKenzie just tweeted guys need to be waived by noon tomorrow. Rosters are due Monday but I guess you can't waive later then noon tomorrow EST for it to count by Monday.
So tomorrow is final decision day.

So unless Lou has some IR trickery going guys are being waved by too. Any trade is being worked on now or never too (in regards to what happens to Urbom)
Mckenzie also stating examples of teams that will be waiving some good talent tomorrow. If anyone is even able to make claims there will be bigger fish to grab then our guys.

Looking at it that possibly Elias and maybe Jagr won't be in the line up on opening night, you would have to think Tedenby and Loktionov would be the pair to go in as opposed to Gionta and Janssen. Although Pete loves his Gionta, Lou is making the call.

Funny how the preseason went as we all thought it was more likely
Jagr missed opening night but it seems from what I read he might play and Elias won't.
I do agree if both miss Loki is in but I'm not sure Tedy is in over Gio. Unlike all the JJ vs Gio comparisons that were discussed at length. I think Tedy and Gio are at the moment a lot closer to each other.
I still think Tedy has the higher ceiling but I'm not sure he will ever reach it. Right now I don't know who id rather want in either. Especially in a 4th line role.

If Jagr and Elias are a no go for Thursday then my expectations are going to pretty low. Unless Fleury goes back into sieve mode, its going to be difficult to win that game.
Kris Letang being out indefinitely with an injury helps us out a lot.

It's only the first game of the season regardless. Don't rush Elias back just so we can have him for the first game.

I would actually feel a lot more comfortable with Schneider in net in that scenario. I feel like the chances of him stealing that game would be greater. Marty has had some REALLY bad stinkers in that building
If the Devils waive Janssen I can't believe that any other team would want him.
I don't think Elias will be in the opening game but I do expect Jagr to play. I also expect Schneider in goal if they want to win. Marty has enough on his mind.

I think Janssen is the most likely. Maybe Gio as well. I can't see them sending Urbom or Harrold down.

Janssen will clear waivers so that doesn't matter.
Look around, there are a dozen teams in the exact same position of having to reduce roster size and make players clear waivers...hardly anyone will be poached. It's not a big deal it happens every preseason.

I'm under the assumption players on 2 ways deals don't have to pass through waivers correct depending on the # of games played
Difference is just $$ pay between leagues

lou ****ing sucks
hopefully lou keeps the players he needs to and doesnt lose anyone to poachers. i expect to see jagr in like 65 games this year. and im being generous.
Maybe I should've been a bit more clear. I was to alluding to the final roster. Harrold is presumably the 7th D, Janssen and Urbom get waived/sent down. That leaves Gionta, Tedenby and Loktionov based on the pecking order as the three fighting for the last two spots. Of course assuming Josefson and Olesz are secure in their spots.
Role wise, yes Gionta should stick to be on the fourth line, but I think his two-way helps sway the decision Tedenby's way.
If Elias can go or will only miss one game or two, then Gionta goes. Or Lou can IR Elias and/or Jagr and keep all three and delay it another week.

They absolutely have to go through waivers. The 'only' difference between a two-way and a one-way is AHL salary. That has nothing to do with waiver rights, and Gio/Janssen are way above the age-games played limits to be waiver exempt.
Nobody is going to claim Cam Jam. I'm sure every team in the NHL already has a player(s) that are capable of fighting AND playing hockey or worst case scenario they have somebody in the AHL.
I could see Gionta getting claimed as he could be a solid 4th line winger on a team with poor depth but if we have to we have to.
I would start the season with the Jagr/Elias uncertainty and a early Western road trip with:
Marty, Schneider
Larsson, Greene, Salvador, Fayne, Volchenkov, Zidlicky, Urbom
Zajac, Henrique, Elias, Jagr, Ryder, Clowe, Zubrus, Loktionov, Brunner, Josefson, Carter, Olesz, Bernier,
+ one of Harrold/Tedenby or if someone is on IR to begin the season both. I have a feeling we will need some D guys (Urbom & Harrold) to step in for some older guys as well as Tedenby/Josefson/Olesz if Jagr/Elias don't begin the year.
