Waived: Ryan Spooner and Ty Rattie

[CapSpace]

So, waiting for Chia to make a shit trade again.

 

[LucicAndChong]

He wasnt, unless I missed Ryan Strome being waived

I couldn’t figure out how to word it properly but the player they ended up getting was waived, you know what I mean

 

[serp]

For 0.52ppg player having a down year?

What makes you think Dallas could re-ignite his scoring ? He's not even ever really been a goalscorer which is what the Stars need. Someone who can put the puck in the net and Spooner has never scored 20 goals in his career.

If that was an expiring conctract ? Sure why not take the small risk but no way with him hanging around for another season if he , very likely , doesn't work out.

 

[SML2]

So if Spoony love passes through and they try to send him down, what happens if he refuses to report? Can they rip up his deal? And to the point of my inquiry, what happens to the part of the bill the Rangers are covering if that happens?

 

[Sheppy]

To Boston:
Conor McDavid (50% retained)

To Edmonton:
David Backes

LETS GO

Somethings brewing alright. If past indicators are correct, it's going to require a plumber and a drain snake.

He'd be dumb to not report. He's not getting another contract like this one. May as well wait for a buyout.

 

[These Are The Days]

So in the end, Edmonton gets nothing for Eberle?

Apply cream directly to the affected burn area

He seems like one of those guys who would fade into Europe and be really good playing against a bunch of guys you'll never hear about.

 

[truthbluth]

I ain't correcting ****.

Good for you. Way to stand up for your own dumbf***ery. You're a real hero.

 

[Duke Silver]

At what point does McDavid say "I'm getting the **** outta here?"

 

[belair]

As a depth scoring winger in the right situation he may be able to show some life. At 800k there is no risk. If he doesnt work out he can be waived. Either EDM picks him back up, or he goes to the minors with no hit against the cap.

Low risk, moderate reward type situation

Without question. He's no different than Valentin Zykov in that regard. I was just stating the fact that Ty Rattie has failed to be a productive player in the bottom six of 3 NHL franchises. Odds are against him on the 4th.

The Oilers waived Ryan Spooner. What are you going on about?

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Good for you. Way to stand up for your own dumb****ery. You're a real hero.

i know it's sarcasm and all, but he ain't even a sarcastic hero, he's typical; he fits exactly in 2019, that's how humans are these days, they spread falsehoods and stand by them

you can say the sky is red (or you can say Karlsson is the best D in the league) and it would be ok, welcome to 2019

do you like how i sneak that in?

 

[McOvechking]

At what point does McDavid say "I'm getting the **** outta here?"

Seems professional enough to wait until the end of the season to do it.

I would assume they could then put him on unconditional waivers and both teams would be off the hook.

However, it doesn't seem very realistic. Spooner is guaranteed another $1.6 or so million this season whether he plays in the NHL or AHL. And after this season, he either gets $2.66M spread over 2 years in a buyout, or $4M if he is isn't.

26YO guy struggling to produce in the NHL isn't going to see another $4.2-5.6M for a while if he decides not to report.

 

[Yatzhee]

So in the end does this mean a trade is coming?

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Chia never disappoints. Unless you're an oilers fan, then, yea, he disappoints a lot

 

[Dr Pepper]

This pretty much sums it up.

What a joke.

 

[Vincenzo Arelliti]

Doesn’t Edmonton need wingers? As bad as these guys are, they’re the best they have.

 

[mfilipo3]

If I'm Dallas I give Spooner a shot as a reclamation project.

Spooner is done, hes too busy trying to make it as a DJ nowadays.

Too bad Anaheim just acquired another wanna-be DJ masquerading as a professional hockey player.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

yeah good job signing a useless player to 2 year @ 4 mil Cap

 

[Michoulicious]

To be fair, maybe it's just me but I'd rather have Spooner on waivers than a stroke.

 

[ToDavid]

This pretty much sums it up.

What a joke.

Pretty sure Klefbom is technically attached to that Messier trade (through Pronger trade/Penner offer sheet saga), so it's not quite nothing yet
