Waived: Tanner Glass (Cleared)

[Filthy Dangles]

The sad parts are...

it feels like the end of an era
joke material just went down exponentially
he still is a 4th liner on any AHL team
he probably needs to be relegated to the ECHL to even score 30-40 points

You're a nice guy who loves his teammaes, just not a NHL player. Good luck.



Never Forget.

Maybe sending glass down means we needed the space for incoming trade????? Sather would of leaked something out by new Damn you new GMs!!!

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Stanley Cup here we come. Right?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yeah nothing says NHL coach like a history degree.

It does say something about someone's potential in aspects other than sports. The ability to lead.

If that's the basis of what constitutes a good move or bad move 29 teams never make smart decisions

i was thinking this but then suddenly was like... highly unlikely. What would he even be looking for our line up is pretty damn good already.

 

[ZuccsManBun]

for some bizarre reason I kind of feel bad for him

I feel bad for him as a person-he is actually a really nice/good guy; as a hockey player though-no. He never had what it takes on this team and he was a liability.

 

[Vitto79]

Holy crap I cavy believe it took 7 games

If that's the basis of what constitutes a good move or bad move 29 teams never make smart decisions in a given year

29 teams never have the chance to waiver Tanner Glass.

With the vitriol he's received here the final pieces must now be in place.

No, it's just an incredibly obvious move that makes the team a little better.

“@HockeyStatMiner: #NYR cap space today: $167,222

- If Glass clears waivers/buried tomorrow: $1,118,206
- If Glass is claimed off waivers tomorrow: $1,618,206”

Thanks for adding a little toughness to a very soft roster. Good Luck.

But he ... Didn't... Do anything to benefit the team.


Toffnuss though right

Ugh, we looked so soft last night winning a bunch of board battles against the Sharks and forechecking them hard and causing turnovers

How will we ever get by without Glass's toffnus?

 

[Off Sides]

I hope no one blames Glass, he was what he always was, and there is nothing wrong with that, management made the signing.

Just have to hope whatever they do from here is an improvement instead of an error.

Nothing wrong with toughness, but if the player can not be part of a team that has enough depth to ice 4 two way lines, there just is no point in adding a player just for an "element" outside of having the ability to be part of one of those lines.

 

[The Gloaming]

Poor AV. I hope he has someone to comfort him during this tremendously difficult time.

I kind off hope no one picks him up so we can see what he can do in the AHL. Although it would only take one injury for him to get recalled.

 

[nyr2k2]

No guarantee he's even sent down. I imagine he would be, but it wouldn't be the first time we waived someone and then kept them on the roster. Either way, I would suspect he's back at some point down the line. Hopefully I'm wrong.

This seems like a cap move to me, I fully expect him to be sent down when he clears (which he will no doubt, sadly).

Otherwise there doesn't seem to be a point to doing it in the 1st place.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Come on, Pittsburgh, you know you want to.

 

[TheTakedown]

I am overjoyed at the fact we will actually have NHL level players lining up on our fourth line every night from here on out.....

As far as people clamoring for Diaz to come up, I just don't understand why?
He has a career high of 3 goals, and I hear people talk like he is some kind of powerplay wizard.....He has ONLY one powerplay goal in his entire career...ONE. He is a career minus player and in my opinion a poor defensive player, there is no reason for him to be called up

At the very least it's going to light a fire under Boyle's ass to get his game in gear

 

[Kanneda]

Come on, Pittsburgh, you know you want to.

Let's remember them this:

Thank GOD Emerson Etem now has a clear path for the 13th forward.

Let's remember them this:

He wanted to cycle it around the boards
