All our guys cleared, we claimed no one
It is possible that we put in a claim on a player who was claimed by a team higher in the priority order.
It wouldn't surprise me if we put in a claim on Reimer. He was good last season and he lost the NHL spot to a top young goalie. We could fit in his cap hit by burying Forsberg.
Anaheim claimed him, and they were higher in the priority order than us.
The other factor is that it is possible that we still acquire one of the LHD who were available. We might prefer to trade for them after they clear waivers, because that gives us the flexibility to move them between the AHL and NHL for a set period of time without losing them. It wouldn't surprise me to see us give up something like a 7th, or one of our waiver exempt fringe NHL forwards.
I didn’t think there would be any claims, when looking at cap room currently.It is possible that we put in a claim on a player who was claimed by a team higher in the priority order.

How does claiming someone work if you don't have the capspace to fit them in? Do you get the opportunity to waive someone if your claim is successful, or do you need to pre-clear?It is possible that we put in a claim on a player who was claimed by a team higher in the priority order.

For today, rosters have to be submitted by 5PM.
So using the Reimer example, they could have waived Forsberg after acquiring Reimer.
I'm fairly certain that teams can do offsetting moves in season (send 775k down after claiming 775k), but I am not entirely certain.
I guess it boils down to what is the penalty for going over the cap, and when your daily cap hit calculated.I'm not entirely certain, either, but I don't think a team can do offsetting moves like that, because a player you claim immediately goes onto your cap, while the player you're waiving stays on your cap while they go through the waiver process. So for at least a 24 period, you're carrying both cap hits.
you just can’t be over, play short for a game, I thought the Sens did that last year.I guess it boils down to what is the penalty for going over the cap, and when your daily cap hit calculated.
Does waiving someone immediately remove them from your cap, or are they only removed 24 hours later when a claim is made or they are assigned to the AHL (I assume the later because you can waive someone then not send them down).
If you are over the cap, what happens, do you forfeit games until compliant, if so, what if you don't play that day? Alternatively, you might just be blocked from any transactions that put you over the cap, so no making claims...
I expect a minor league deal for a LD now that everyone has passed through waivers.If we're going to go with one spare on D to leave a bit of room for bonus overages (unlike last year, which resulted in a 850k hit for 24/25), it'd be smart to add insurance on D in Belleville.
Staios did a great job building up the forward depth, to the point where we just sent down several players more than capable of playing a 4th line role, but the depth on D is absolutely terrible.
Roos showed in the pre-season that he should be nowhere near an NHL roster, same goes for Davies. There's no good LD capable of stepping up if one of Sandy/Chabot/Kleven gets injured, and it's not like moving JBD/Hamonic over to the right side would be a solution.
If I'm Staios I'm shopping around a forward like Crookshank for a decent LD. Depending on Andlauer's comfort with paying 1-way money for an AHLer, I'd even be looking at some of the guys that just went through waivers (Branny, Bolduc, Moverare, etc...).
Id take him in a heart beat. He has good puck skills and passing for such a physical force. Perfect bottom pair d man.He would definitely fit the template of what the Sens front office wants.
Crookshank has 0 value. Phillips was a good option on d for waivers.If we're going to go with one spare on D to leave a bit of room for bonus overages (unlike last year, which resulted in a 850k hit for 24/25), it'd be smart to add insurance on D in Belleville.

Acquired by Vancouver via trade with Colorado on Sunday and then put on and cleared waivers.Erik Brannstrom piling up the frequent flyer miles.
