Montreal does not get the first chance to claim him on waivers. This is one of those misunderstandings that just won't die.
Pens desperate for a 7th round pick or something?
It's tough to get these myths to die when the media are making the same incorrect assumptions
When an obscure rule drastically changes in a cba renegotiation its often the case where people who knew the old way never realize it changed.. Also people mix up different pro sports rules that are simular...
It happens a bunch... You will hear pro football guys talk about the halo rule when the nfl abolished that decades ago cause college has it... You also hear mlb and nfl rfa and ufa and waiver rules applied to the nhl and vice versa...
Pittsburgh doesn't want to put Condon back on waivers BECAUSE Montreal gets first chance to reclaim him....
No other teams except the Pens put a claim in for Condon....So if Pens don't trade him and put him on waivers,Montreal can reclaim Condon which i think they would do .
sens need a goalie what would it take to get condon or fluery
If Pittsburgh waives him, I'm positive the Coyotes will put in a claim. Dave Tippett has done nothing but publicly **** upon Louis Domingue. In fact, if Louis is waiver exempt, I could see the Coyotes offering him to the Pens in trade for Condon. I like LD and think he's fine. Tippett seems to believe every loss this season is 100% Domingue's fault. Which is ridiculous, but here we are.

Would be strange but cool to see the the goalie who's been with his NHL team longest traded for the goalie who's been with his NHL team second-longest.I cannot see them doing that, but a deal around Ward for MAF is more plausible since timelines match up and the Pens could afford just over 7.0 for Murray/Ward combo for a couple seasons.
I'm thinking they hold onto Condon as a backup to Murray, if they can convince Fluery to waive his NTC. If not, they'll trade Murray and keep Condon as backup, as it is very unlikely Murray wouldn't get claimed by LV in the expansion draft. Better to trade him and get something for him than lose him for nothing.
Why would the Canes want to pay 9.0 for goaltenders and also spend more eating 50% of Lack's? That puts it over 10.0 on backstops alone.

No question Montreal reclaims Condon. Our goaltending in St. John's would be outstanding, which we need because the team sucks. Plus, he's our 3rd stringer, which we also need.
I'm ignorant on some of the rules but wouldn't Montreal then have to waive Condon if they wanted him to play in St. Johns?
