Waived: Zbynek Michalek and Klas Dahlbeck (Update: Hurricanes claim Dahlbeck)

[ParisSaintGermain]

I think you are reading too much into it.

I generally do. I just want D boy to succeed.

I want him out of any media coverage and feel management should not contribute to any exposure at this point

Z will be the resident playing assistant coach if he spends much time in Tucson. Never hurts to have a consummate professional showing the kids how things are done.

That would be a pretty smart idea.

 

[Blubba Jenkins]

Getting traded hopefully kicked DeAngelos ass into gear. He's prob never had a team say, "yeah, we don't want ya" hopefully it knocked some sense into him,

The trade obviously looks awful for them, but there is still a feeling out there that Tyler Seguin would never have become what he is if Boston didn't humble the **** out of him.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Dahlbeck claimed by Carolina.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Dahlbeck claimed by Carolina.

That seems like the last team that would need him...

 

[Heldig]

Dahlbeck claimed by Carolina.

Really? Carolina has like 14 NHL d men.

 

[Mosby]

Thanks. Updated the thread title.

Makes sense. Cheap D who can play bottom pairing minutes. Good luck to him in Raleigh.

Z goes unclaimed.

Domi and Duclair's success may have altered Tippett's and ownerships' view of the direction of the team. Two rookies being two of your top 3 or 4 could do that. I'm excited about the direction of the team for the first time in maybe....ever.

Talent has altered their views and while those players are obviously talented, if there was not more talent to follow things would remain mostly as they were.

Correct. Last year when only Domi and Duclair (I thougth Strome was also)were ready for the NHL, all I heard was bring in more kids, and now this year when more kids have matured and are ready, all I hear is pick up this vet and pick up that vet. I hope we stay the course and not pick up any waiver player unless we can unload a vet.

Is Michalek being assigned?

They have like 14 Dmen, debatable if they have 14 NHL Dmen.

Opening day rosters have to be fixed by 5PM EDT today. So I imagine we'll know by then.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Z goes unclaimed.

What's worse, being waived, or knowing that no other team wants you?

 

[Bonsai Tree]

You've never priced yourself out of a job? I have. Faced with the choice of a pay cut or leave, I chose to leave.

*no other team wants him at that salary at this time

Most teams aren't keen to pick up a 3.2 million dollar anything on a whim at this point in the season.

I only ask for minimum wage, that way I'm never disappointed.

Practiced with the team today if that means anything

 

[Kaizen]

Really? Carolina has like 14 NHL d men.

Ideally Carolina gives him some games but waives him at some point this year.


Mouser alert - do we get priority in claiming him if he is put back on waivers? Does he have to be waived again if we were to claim him and choose to assign him to Tucson?

Dahlbeck was claimed for the expansion draft, so Carolina won't risk losing him via waivers.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Would you all trade Mark Fayne @ 50% retention for Michalek? Fayne carries an extra year, but would only cost you $1.8M against the cap.

 

[Kaizen]

Probably correct but anytime you're predicting the future its tough to be absolutely certain.

 

[Curufinwe]

So if Michalek is sent down the Coyotes will have a 23 man roster at $72,996,292, and then they can LTIR Bolland after 5pm today to maximize their exemption and make sure bonuses earned this season help them reach the cap floor for 17-18.

That's what it looks like to me, anyway.

 

[Mosby]

Would you all trade Mark Fayne @ 50% retention for Michalek? Fayne carries an extra year, but would only cost you $1.8M against the cap.

No. No reason to carry Fayne into next year. Just deal with Z this year and have a clean slate in the summer.

 

[mouser]

Mouser alert - do we get priority in claiming him if he is put back on waivers? Does he have to be waived again if we were to claim him and choose to assign him to Tucson?

No on the priority. One of those misconceptions that you see a lot on the forums.

The only benefit the Coyotes have is if Dahlbeck is waived again this season and the Yotes are the only team to submit a claim then they could send him to Tucson without needing to clear waivers again.

Sarah just tweeted Z told her he's staying with yotes for now but could change at any time.
