Old thread was over the limit. Last few posts in that thread:
Carry on.
Because exposing him doesn't mean they will take him. As it appeared at the time Halak was put on waivers LV wouldn't likely have taken him.
Even if that trade were done today it isn't cut and dried that they would take him. They are going to have a lot of goalies available and might well prefer some other player from us. And like I said, if they did take him we have come through the XD very cheaply.
But that was just a hypothetical that almost certainly isn't available anymore. We could have picked up Halak for free on waivers at that time. Waive Hutch. No way he would have been claimed the way he had played to that point.
Expose both Hutch and Halak to the XD. If Halak had been lights out for us since being picked up and LV took him we would have done the XD for a waiver pickup. There just isn't a down side here.
All that said it is much simpler to wait until after the XD and sign a UFA goalie.
Yeah, sure.
MAF waived his NMC to come to Winnipeg instead of staying with the Pens for a Stanley Cup run.
I call "road apples" on this one.
Considering we heard he turned down a deal to Calgary fat chance he would have come to Winnipeg.
Does not have 'The Ring of Truth'.
That guy is such a dinosaur
Rutherford and waters are best friends if he said that then its true. waters said trouba wanted trade last year before anybody cause his good buddy told him his agent was making the calls to all the gms. waters also said that Carolina was taking scheifele at draft which was later confirmed by there reaction at the table when jets took schefele. anything to do with Rutherford that bill waters says is gospel.
It's one thing to say that the Pens would trade MAF for a 2nd, it's another for Fluery to accept the trade...
Would we have taken MAF for a year, and risk Vegas taking him (I'd assume hte trade would waive the NMC)
Interesting
Carry on.
