damn. wanted the leafs to claim him

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Well now Tampa is a shoe in for the Cup

 

[Vitto79]

That’s funny , a trade of sorts

 

[rent free]

they called up cory conahcer as well, odd to claim someone and then call up someone else, unless there's an injury

 

[TheNewEra]

Couldn't Yzerman and dorion have made this more exciting and done it as a trade

 

[Foppberg]

Wasn't he playing pretty well?

 

[Emerica]

Petty as f

Started out surprisingly well and then fell off a cliff.
He's small and slow, type of guy who's not skilled enough for you top 6 and not ideal for a checking role.

Could be wrong but guessing Tampa waived Dumont to get a vet in Syracuse, but he got claimed. Now they've got what they wanted, albeit in a roundabout way.

Well, if they want him for Syracuse they're going to have to run him through waivers again aren't they?

For those interested, this cost Tampa Bay $41,250, paid to Ottawa and not counted against the cap.

This effectively makes a trade of
Chris DiDomenico
FOR
Gabriel Dumont, $28,125 cash

what decides the waiver prices

 

[HoseEmDown]

Figured they would claim the next best forward on waivers after Dumont was claimed as we are only carrying 12 forwards.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Why did Ottawa waive him in the first place?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Is DiDomenico the only player in NHL history to play his first NHL game after playing pro hockey in Italy ?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I figured a crappy team woulda definitely claimed him... im shocked nobody else did

 

[Lays]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Lets go!!!!!

He’s really nothing special. AHLer, 13-14th forward at most, 0 size and speed.

Not sure if it's completely accurate, but a rough idea:

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

i was watching 2009 WJC highlights yesterday when Eberle stole the show and was surprised to see DiDomenico in some highlights on the team haha... had no idea!!

 

[uncleben]

what decides the waiver prices

Years of pro hockey with an NHL contract (ie. if you are on loan to the AHL or ECHL with an NHL contract, it counts too). Zippy316's post above is accurate in years, position, and price.

Nope!

Mike Rosati played in Serie-A from 1990 to 1996 before coming in as relief for an injured Olaf Kolzig of the Washington Capitals in 1998. He played 28 minutes, blocked every shot he faced, and never played a game in the NHL again.
