Waived: Ongoing 2018-19 Waivers Thread

[Mike Jones]

According to Capfriendly Anaheim's Sustr is on waivers. I can't tell if that's Conventional or Unconditional yet.

Those signings of Sustr and Schenn by ANA this summer were genius moves.

 

[King Weber]

 

[Mustard]

Trade incoming after 2Bit being waived? Or Turris coming off IR? I would think they would've sent Blackwell back down..

Bitetto is going to get claimed. He's a great bottom pairing guy. Great locker room presence as well

"Great bottom pair guy" is a stretch. He's somewhat serviceable, but never really done much at all in Nashville.

It's hard to when you're stuck behind that D-core

Hm, well, I don't know if guys are "stuck behind" the top-4. A guy can still carve out his niche on a 3rd-pair. And frankly, I think the Preds have been stuck sheltering a lot of their 3rd pair guys the last couple of years. Hamhuis has been a nice addition to somewhat change that up. You can tell the difference for sure. Hamhuis is legit there. The others... Irwin, Weber, and Bitetto... they have been placeholders, basically. We can get by on them in a pinch because we have such a good top-4. And they could be serviceable in #6/7/8 roles on probably any team. But I wouldn't put it like they are "stuck behind" the top-4.

Bitetto is a well-liked and hard-working guy and we all wish him well. But I don't think there's any hidden upside to him.

I liked Bitetto but he's nothing more than a #7.

Irwin sucks and he's marginally better than Bitetto.

Weber doesn't get enough praise tbh, I think he's a great #6.

I think Weber can be adequate in the right matchups with the right utilization. And he's one guy where if you didn't have the gaudy top-4, you could probably also start getting something from him in 2nd-wave PP duty. But he does also struggle and get pinned down at times if he is stuck in the wrong matchups. So I wouldn't necessarily call him "great"... but he's a legit #6 with at least some situational upside, and a little better therefore than Irwin or Bitetto IMHO.

Not really. Nashville has an insane top 4, but their bottom pairing has usually been a revolving door of “he’s still in the NHL?”. If you struggle being sheltered on their bottom pairing, you’re going to struggle anywhere

 

[joemon999]

I'm assuming he wasn't claimed?

Patience - it takes a few minutes for this stuff to make its way through the pipeline.

Turns out he was

 

[joemon999]

Claimed by Minnesota Wild!!!! Grats Bitetto. Show this league you're worth regular minutes

 

[Soundgarden]

Best of luck to him, always liked him. Hopefully he gets a good chance up there.

 

[BonMorrison]

Bitetto's a good dude and was really well liked by the team. Hope he gets a bigger shot in Minny!

 

[audreyspency]

Would not be shocked if Dansk got claimed.

 

[Mike Jones]

Would not be shocked if Dansk got claimed.

I don't think he's on waivers. Do you have a link?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Would not be shocked if Dansk got claimed.

He won't have to go through waivers if he's up for less than 30 days or does not play 10 games.

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Oops

 

[780il]

He is a Bruins killer. Although most of the hate came from Lucic and he’s long gone.

Dw, we'd be happy to give Looch back!

 

[caley]

Just got assigned to the ECHL for the second time this season, which I’d wager was the last straw for him.

[Finnish your Czech]

How many of these has there been this season? Seems like way too high
