probably knocks down Stamkos to PP2? TBL's PP about to get a huge boost.

Man Tampa with already an elite PP with Kucherov, Point and Stamkos adds yet another top unit PP player. Just unfair.

Anyways hope this indicates the beginning of the Mikey Essymont era. Call him up from the Moose once Pionk is back.
Perfect. Now we can play Gus

Nash just never seemed to fit here.
We now have about 1 million in LTIR cap space.

I hope the Jets do the classy thing here and retire Nash's number.

I hope the Jets do the right thing and never mention his name again.
Saves TNSE some cash as they don't have to pay him his full salary to play on the Moose.
Nashville would go a step further and raise a banner.

I wonder if his agent asked for it. Maurice is known to keep players in the PB for an eternity, and if you are at the end of your career and just want to play hockey, waivers is your last resort.
They waived him because they wanted to call up an extra defenseman while Pionk is out. I don't think they wanted to lose him.

Meh they could have sent down Vesalainen had they wanted to, then after the suspension put Pionk on IR and bring him back up. Don't think they're bothered at all that Nash got claimed.

Good point. Earlier when Hellebuyck was out they had to demote Vesalainen, to bring up Berdin, but I think Ves is solidly in place now. So the odd man out was Nash. Maybe the Jets keep that extra cap space for manoeuvring now, which I thought would be a problem, as the Jets don't do emergency call ups like the Leafs every injury.

Win-win-win
We don't have to worry about playing him again, TB gets some depth, and Nash maybe gets a better shot to play.

Yep. TBH I've been pretty much focused on the first of those wins, but yeah, happy trails Riley. No doubt you'll find your form in sunny Tampa Bay.

I am ok with this. We have young guys who should of been taking his ice time anyways.....
Always said Gus would have been a better choice for that 4C role. That said, I am not minding Toninato there at all.
Vesalanien is playing on the 3rd line right now though, and I dont think they honestly expected anyone to claim him. I think they thought he would clear without issue and Im still not sure why Tampa bothered to take him.
