Can't see TOR putting Woll on waivers. Martin Jones will be on waivers before the start of the season and quite possibly claimed by someone at that number.
Yeah. It's such a weird signing to me, from Jones' perspective.
I don't think there's any way Toronto risk Woll on waivers, so that basically just means Jones is going to hit waivers and either end up somewhere else entirely, or in the AHL.
At that price, i'd take a claim on him for the Canucks, just to keep Silovs in the AHL for another year getting more games in and developing. He's better than Spencer Martin as a veteran backup. Pittsburgh also seem like they could use him now that they've moved DeSmith for no apparent reason. Tampa don't even really seem to have a backup, and that's a pretty cushy gig behind Vasy.
Plus any other team that has an injury or hiccups with their goaltending through training camp/preseason.
I guess Jones is thinking there's a chance Woll falters and gives him as good a shot as he'll find at an NHL gig...but it seems like a longshot to me.
