so if I understand correctly these guys HAVE to go on waivers before the season starts? only 1 if any would actually make the Rangers opening night roster

Haley could get picked up by someone but he has a 1 way deal next yr and he's still a bubble NHLer right now

I think a team may take a stab at Kolarik and Haley. I know I would if I was a lower-end team.

In other news Deveaux was waived by FLA. If I were the Rangers I would send a claim in.

yea Kolarik is likely the best player waived. I imagine CT will be getting some roster players soon , sounds like they need it

Fans always think they borderline players will get picked up and it never happens. Guys like Kolarik and Haley are a dime a dozen, every team has them. Nobody needs to pick them up just in case there will be a rash of injuries. If that happens, they can be had for future considerations or at most a 7th round pick.

In addition, if you pick up a player, you have to expose someone else. Who do teams have that is protected who's worse than Kolarik? The only time guys get picked up is if they are viewed as being able to handle regular duty in the NHL, e.g., Weise, who I immediately said will get picked up.

 

[Thirty One]

I doubt anyone gets claimed.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

imagine if two of the Whale dman say Collins and Vernace would get claimed by say the Islanders or Jets for example, the Whale would need some help on defense....

 

[Dangleberry]

By placing them on waivers, that means we can call them up during the season? Is that how it works? Not familiar with this.

They have to be placed on waivers to be assigned to Connecticut. They can be called up during the season, though. No re-entry waivers anymore.

Rather see Bickel play wing the 1st game instead of Haley or Newbury

I'm not a fan of Newbury, but Haley is a good option. He does everything Bickel does, but is more mobile. He's an agitator and pound-for-pound one of the toughest around. He can also kick Bickel's ass.

You think the fishsticks put in a waiver claim for him?

 

[NYR Viper]

I really hope Haley sticks around. The Rangers actually have a chance to develop a seriously tough customer.

 

[nyr2k2]

I doubt it. We signed him for $600k per. They could have offered him that as well if they wanted him. But who knows, they're such a cracker-jack organization, anything is possible.

 

[RGY]

I'd rather have Haley play in that first game.

 

[The Mouth]

Newbury could be a serviceable ranger because he is torts type but he takes the stupidest penalties which then would put him in the doghouse immediately.

Kolarik is solid, I like him as a call up and Haley can fight and not embarrass himself out there during play.

Usually Torts goes with what he knows. So probably will be seeing Newbury if injuries arise.

Thanks for clarifying.

Me too, I would love to see him murder Kaleta.

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

i hate Kaleta but id rather Haley Bickel Rupp or Asham beat the crap out of Rinaldo or Sestito. I cant stand those gutless punks...

 

[silverfish]

He would turtle, no way he would drop with Haley.

Kaleta is one of my most hated players in the league. Then I step back and say, well if I hate him this much, he must be doing his job.

It all stems from when he hit Mara high, breaking his nose. Then turtled the next game when Mara went after him.

 

[Clowes Line]

Me has a feeling Kolarik gets claimed. He's a good call-up, don't wanna lose him.

That's usually the case, but Kaleta is just dirty.

Yeah, he has a history. I guess that's just my years of dating my ex, a Sabres fan, kicking in

He's very dirty. I'm sure Kariya could say a few choice words about him.
