Does he need to pass through waivers first?

He does not

He does not

I thought he did since he's played AHL games this season

If he played professionally outside the AHL he would be. The NHL doesn't consider the AHL a 'professional' league or something to that effect. Keith Petruzzelli didn't require waivers when he was signed not long ago by the Leafs after being on an AHL contract to start the season.

lol this guy is passed around more in the league than a cheese platter.

For anybody asking “why on earth”…the current injury crisis is why:

Does he need to pass through waivers first?

To play in the NHL, no. To play in the AHL, yes.

Had a great camp with the Avs on a PTO but was released due to an injury. He signed another PTO with the Colorado Eagles after coming back much sooner than expected.

Does his contract come with his dad?

 

[Chiarelli]

Avs “we’re a (ahl) team”

 

[Funk21]

Such a sad case of talent wasted by listening to your father rather than coaching staff.

Look I know he had that massive blunder with the TML in the playoffs but why he didn’t make it a priority to resign with us is beyond me. Maybe that was beneficial not resigning him but I think the issue with a lot of players are they are products of the team they play for. Galchenyuk while bad defensively played on some awful Habs teams and same with Zona and has a losing and lack of detail ingrained in his game. Having a winning culture and prop coaching could have done him wonders IMO.

An AHL team who still would sweep the Oilers again.

During his 6 years with the Habs...the team had over 100 points 3 times and 82 points once. So 4 of the 6 years he played on a better than .500 team.

Incoming 30 goal season.

He put up good numbers on some of those teams didn't he?

yes. I was simply clarifying the previous comment where the poster stated he played mostly on bad teams.
