I think the season is 200 days long so for every day a player like Raty($837k AAV) is off the roster it should save them just over $4k.
The season length seems to vary, but that number sounds about right.

i did the math a while back and got roughly the same result. another way to look at it is portion of the season. if raty spends 1/3 of the season in the ahl without a callup to replace him that is 1/3 of his aav saved.I think the season is 200 days long so for every day a player like Raty($837k AAV) is off the roster it should save them just over $4k.
I didn't see Friedman getting waived. Interesting.

Wonder if they were waiting to see if Brannstrom cleared. He can step in now if they need someone to play the left side, so can risk waiving Friedman.

They've got to make a move with that crowded D on Abby now, right? (Assuming Friedman clears.)
With no roster limits, it would purely be for playing time. No idea what the plan is.

I wonder if they trade Wolanin or Woo for another teams forward prospect. Similar to the Rathbone/Glover deal. Brisebois is another but he has no value at all.With no roster limits, it would purely be for playing time. No idea what the plan is.
Assume waive today, sent down tomorrow (if he clears)."Nobody can be sent down today".
Allvin - "**** your rules! Friedman is sent down!"
Not a secret he sees himself as a top 4D and wanted the minutes and money. My guess is Allvin was very blunt about it.

Very much a back-of-the-napkin calculation—but if they were to send down Raty and Silovs every day-off before a home game or before a road-trip begins (~59 days total before the TDL) they'd save about $530k of cap space by TDL day. Which is not insignificant.i did the math a while back and got roughly the same result. another way to look at it is portion of the season. if raty spends 1/3 of the season in the ahl without a callup to replace him that is 1/3 of his aav saved.
i question whether doing this like a yoyo with a young player is wise economy though. all the missed practice time with the big team and the disruption of skating with two groups will potentially interfere with development.
the other downside to this is that guys on 2 way deals do not appreciate being papered down even a little bit and doing it to accrue cap to acquire a guy to take his roster spot doesn't feel good either.
Possibly
Or it could be that Yzerman is not a good GM
Can't send down Silovs (or at least would need to recall someone else at barely any savings) while Demko is injured and on IR, we need 2 goalies on roster. So by yo-yoing Raty that's only like 250K of savings, which is relatively insignificantVery much a back-of-the-napkin calculation—but if they were to send down Raty and Silovs every day-off before a home game or before a road-trip begins (~59 days total before the TDL) they'd save about $530k of cap space by TDL day.
