Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign goaltender Harri Sateri (claimed by the Coyotes)

The waiver rule for Euro free agents makes zero sense. There was no reason for Arizona to claim him other than to screw the Leafs over.

Arizona just traded away Wedgewood, they needed another tender.

That's fine, but its still dumb given the context of the situation. Sateri wanted to be in Toronto and the Leafs wanted him here.

I'm sure the kid will be happy to report to the worst team in the league. The NHL keeps showing how much of a joke of a league they are.

If I'm him I would say thanks but no thanks Arizona and not even report

If he wants to be in the nhl next year, his best bet is to just try and show something with arizona the rest of the year

If Leafs wanted him bad enough they could've had a deal in place with Montreal to sign and trade him.

What a joke. Arizona????

They could have found any stiff to be a backup given their situation.

What does Montreal have to do with this?

Also, the kid is 32. He's been playing professional hockey for 15 years.

Coyotes just traded their backup to DAL. They need another backup. Next time have a deal in place to claim-and-trade with Montreal or to bribe Seattle / Arizona not to take him.

 

[saltming]

what a stupid ass rule. If Sateri wanted to play for the Coyotes, he would have just signed with them. Making him go through waivers is moronic

Why did he need to go through waivers?

What?

If Montreal signed Sateri, he would have been put on waivers anyway

 

[Stephen]

As expected he gets claimed by Arizona. Every time the Leafs put something on waivers it’s like chumming the waters.

 

[DutchHockeyGuy]

Why did he need to go through waivers?

It's the rule to prevent teams from circumventing the salary cap by stalling players in Europe and calling them up late.

Fuvk that shit

Cool, at least we still have Mrazek!

Ugh.

So let me get this right. Dubas signs this guy then a few days later loses him……….WTH is the point

Check it out guys, one of the Coyotes dozens of fans is here to brag about snagging a journeyman goaltender from us.

That wasn't exactly his plan...

 

[napoleon in rags]

Harri Sateri, what a career. From calling Cubs games to playing net for the Bettman Coyotes.

 

[D00bis]

The league loves our waivers. Guess we don’t have the scrubs everyone says we have if our waivers are claimed more then any other team

And here's a second of those dozen to say thank you. Kid's got real potential. What a dumb move by Dubas. He didn't see the Wedgewood trade? It's his job to keep track of more than just his team's dealings. I like Toronto because I watched Matthews as a kid, but jeez, lousy management.

That “kid” is 32 years old.

I'm double his age.

Why dumb? Rules are rules, has to go through waivers same as anyone else signing him. Worth a shot I suppose, if they want to chase him as a FA in the summer then that’s out there. No other way to get him to the team in March.

Best of luck with him, hopefully it pans out.

Touché.
