[Avery16]

A little surprised to see Ryan Murphy and Sproul on waivers

 

[TheTakedown]

Sproul would be VERY good AHL depth. I would claim him

 

[rangers1314]

Read has always interested me. Great skater and a very good PK'er. But yeah, the $.

 

[Avery16]

For the sole purposes that he was taken with our 2013 1st rounder, I would absolutely take him... LOL It's like destiny...

Except not when he flounders, LOL...

I don’t think we would have made the same selection with that pick.

 

[TheTakedown]

Conacher would be good AHL depth as well.

Going to post this again--the ONLY source that stated Kovacs was being placed on unconditional waivers was Zipay (tweet in the article below)

NOBODY else is reporting this, so I am wondering if Zipay got it wrong (color me shocked)

Wouldn't be surprised since Zipay is the biggest hack around

It is also reported in a number of tweets in the hours preceding zipay’s. Seems to have much to do with the charges against him and the death of his friend over the summer.

Coreau wouldn't be a bad goaltending add either

yes but there is no official confirmation that he's being let out of the contract.

I can't find a single official tweet about this.

[RGY]

Kerby Rychel. Would definitely place a claim for him. Ryan Murphy as well.

 

[haveandare]

Man, Greening - what happened to that guy?

 

[DudMan28]

Correct me if I'm wrong, if we claim someone on Waivers, don't they have to stay with the big club?

I mentioned this in another thread where you shared this info, but Kovacs is waiver exempt. He doesn't need to clear waivers to be sent to minor league camp. If he was waived, it was for a purpose other than assigning him to the minors (which wouldn't make sense to do anyway since he was already there). What other reason would there be to waive him other than to terminate his contract?

FWIW Capfriendly is a great source of info, but they get things wrong. They had us giving a QO to Donnay and Catenacci when neither received one. They also listed nothing for Paliotta for two weeks when everyone else said he wasn't qualified.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

This isn't correct, just that they have to go through waivers again for us to send them down to Hartford.

 

[TheTakedown]

They have to go on the NHL roster, but you have every right to waive them again. They are required to pass through waivers completely before they can be assigned to the AHL

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Yeah, that's a better explanation

 

[EpicDing]

Kerby Rychel. Would definitely place a claim for him. Ryan Murphy as well.

Picked with the 1st we gave up in the Nash trade. Would be poetic.

 

[Algernop Kreider]

I believe that was who Columbus ended up choosing with the 1st round pick we sent them in the Nash trade - don't know if he'd help the team, but would be kind of amusing to take him from waivers.

This is even better when you remember we got Buchnevich with the 3rd from the Gaborik trade.

 

[DudMan28]

This isn't correct, just that they have to go through waivers again for us to send them down to Hartford.

Got it. I knew it wasn't as easy as claiming them and sticking them in the AHL. Would be no reason not to claim someone at that point.

 

[Kakko]

Correct, he was the huge loss in that trade, who was gonna save our team

 

[Lion Hound]

Rychel finally waived by TML - had a strong AHL season last year, still only turning 23 next week

is he worth a claim?

Rychel is a weird one. Initially labeled a power forward, but i think more a grinder type. Gritty...But doesn't seem to bring that every night. For that role, there is no in-between. I like character guys like him, but question if his skating is good enough to make it at the NHL level, which I would assume is why he was waived.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I'd like Rychel or especially Vatrano, think they're better versions of Puempel. Bringing Pumps in was a smart move even if he had a weak camp and probably won't be a difference maker. Bring in a guy with skill, put him in easier matchups than he'd probably get in most places because of our team depth, and hope he clicks.

 

[frozenrubber]

Conacher would be good AHL depth as well.

You don't pluck players off waivers for AHL depth.

This isn't just an unwritten old boys club view in the NHL (although fairly respected by GMs), these players have families. You take a player off waivers if you want to give them a legitimate shot at your roster, not hoard talent.
