Ludvig is better than de Haan, but Calvin gets the veteran treatment and stays up.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

He will probably clear.

I liked him when he was on Pittsburgh. He was the only guy who was willing and able to fight on the roster. His poor preseason led him to getting waived.

This.

I hope that Colorado moves on from one of them by the TDL.

Having Ludwig not have a permanent roster spot is a waste as is having CDH in one.

He will probably clear.

The Pens could claim him back and send him to the AHL, if they're the only team to put in a claim.

Is that accurate? Are there not stipulations based on games played / time on nhl roster that dictate whether the Pens can assign him straight to the ahl? I think 10 games or 30 cumulative days.

I did not go through the CBA, but the only instance I could find where that "10 games/30 days" situation applies is when is when a player is sent down to the minors after clearing waivers, is recalled and the team wants to send him back down once again.

Feel free to show me otherwise, as I'm not omniscient...

He’s probably an upgrade on Cholowski and NYI can send George back to the minors.

Also he will punch faces once Martin is benched after reaching 1K games.

He's not a good face puncher though, he gets beat up

Went and did some digging because I am legitimately curious on the matter.

I believe this is the section you were referring to:

13.2 The "Playing Season Waiver Period" shall begin on the twelfth (12th) day prior to the start of the Regular Season and end on the day following the last day of a Club's Playing Season. Subject to the provisions of this Article, the rights to the services of a Player may be Loaned to a club of another league, upon fulfillment of the following conditions, except when elsewhere expressly prohibited:
(a) Regular Waivers were requested and cleared during the Playing Season Waiver Period; and

(b) the Player has not played in ten (10) or more NHL Games cumulative since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared, and more than thirty (30) days cumulative on an NHL roster have not passed since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared.

However there is an additional section pertaining to this situation.

13.22 When a Club claims a Player on Regular or Unconditional Waivers, and, subsequently, in the same season it requests Waivers on the same Player and the original owning Club is the successful and only Club making a Waiver claim, then the original owning Club shall be entitled to Loan such Player to a club in another league within thirty days without further Waivers being asked; provided that such Player has not participated in ten or more NHL Games (cumulative) and remained on an NHL roster more than thirty days (cumulative) following such successful claim

All that being said, I'm still unsure on Ludvigs status as I'm not sure on the difference between Participating in vs Played in 10 or more games. Guess we will find out if / when Pittsburgh claims him.
