Claimed off Waivers: [EDM] Oilers claim Raphael Lavoie off waivers from the Golden Knights

[GeeoffBrown]

I guess another thing is that every time Vegas does something weird, it probably gives them another $1million to spend at the trade deadline lol

 

[ManofSteel55]

Ya I'm guessing they didn't think they'd get both players

Exactly. They kept the one they wanted, and said "thanks, but not thanks" to Lavoie.

Vegas fans.... what's the low down on this guy we just got?

I can not wait for the tribute video

True respect.

For those interested, this cost Edmonton $41,250, paid to Vegas and not counted against the cap.




Total number of claims: 8
Total compensation: $331,500

At least Vegas gets compensation for all the work they did to develop him.

I feel like they should make a rule to not be able to waive a player you just claimed for x number of days/games.

why? what purpose does that serve?

Me as well. I hope they use this song…

 

[HanSolo]

What a roller coaster.

They are just returning the cheque Vegas gave them when they claimed him 4 days ago.

Colorado seems pretty obvious given their lack of wing depth currently.

 

[MMC]

So are the Oilers going to throw him on waivers again now that they know they will lose him?

That's totally to mess with them haha

Good stuff

Colorado or Carolina are the most likely bets, IMO. Canucks don't have the cap space without a corresponding move of their own.

Dumb question:

Many posters stated that due to these claims Vegas owed Oilers 43,000 and then Oilers owed Vegas the same back. If the Oilers waive him again and a team picks him up does that team owe 43,000 to the Oilers?

You know whats funny about this.
If the Oilers waive him to try and get him to the AHL, and Vegas is the only team that claims him, Vegas can directly put him on their AHL team lol.

But we know at least one other team (Colorado?) also wants him. So odds are he's not getting sent down anytime soon.

 

[nturn06]

I’m pretty sure Oilers get priority?

Yes, but if noone else put a claim, the Oilers can send him to AHL without waving him.

Yeah, It was either the Stars, Hurricanes or the Avs as they aer the only teams that could have claimed him that have the cap.

Is there a way to know if this team put in a claim when Lavoie was first put in waivers and was beaten out by Vegas?
