GDT: Training Camp discussion - Steeves on waivers, Abruzzese cleared and other cuts

[Sypher04]

Yeah, I don’t think we need to worry about this too much

 

[SprDaVE]

Ah, f*** me. Definitely that play with Seider. Hopefully it’s nothing serious since he finished the game and scored two goals en route.

This dude can’t catch a break man

Thankfully only day to day so it shouldn’t be too bad and he will probably be ready to go for opening night

His hands are burned from the hot stick he's been holding

I highly doubt there is actually anything wrong with Robertson... just given the day off for playing well. He's played the last three games, they've seen enough.

Also, I'd be shocked if Steeves is claimed.

Mattinen and Pare don't require waivers?

Mattinen and Pare don't require waivers?

Nope.
Yeah, I was surprised.

Toronto Maple Leafs | Salary cap and contracts

 

[Fogelhund]

Interesting enough... they can choose not to sign Patches and Lorentz until after opening day rosters are submitted. We are currently cap compliant, though we'd have to waive Murray. But, we could put Jarnkrok on LTIR, and sign Patches and Lorentz and still be under the cap.

Or trade Jarnkrok, sign Patches and Lorentz and we are still cap compliant.

Jarnkrok on LTIR could push the problem a bit further down the line. He played yesterday so he can't be that injured? But maybe he needs more time and LTIR fits... I dunno.

 

[Dayjobdave]

It’s a sign of depth that I feel nervous who will be waived. Myers and Rifai are useful but I don’t see them fitting without a trade.

Oh.. he got hurt yesterday. Badly.

Who would legitimately claim either player, and put them on their roster though? They've had a good camp, and are reasonable players, but I just don't see someone claiming either.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

If we waive Rifai he’ll be claimed.
Likely the same for Myers

 

[stats1]

I’d just trade Jarnkrok. Doesn’t bring much more than what we already have in camp.

 

[SprDaVE]

Abruzzese cleared waivers.

 

[Hellcat]

Is there a list of all the players left at the main camp? Just wondering how many more they need to trim.

Abruzzese cleared waivers.

A little surprised Calgary didn’t claim him.

 

[ULF_55]

Probably many players are going to be waived from 31 other teams.

Someone might have more accurate info, but I believe claiming team has to keep them on roster for 30 days or 10 games played?

So you would think a claiming team believes the player in question is better than players they left after waiving their depth players.

likely the best time to waive is when all other teams are waiving.

 

[egd27]

I think ppl forget that if you make a waiver claim, the player has to stay on your NHL roster.
It's not like these depth guys are so good that they are in high demand, especially when every other team is waiving players at the same time.

No unless the rules changed this offseason and I didn't notice you can claim and then waive them the next day if you want to. They have to be on your NHL roster until you choose to waive them(or IR stint if they get injured). The 10 game or 30 days is time spent on a NHL roster before requiring waivers again if they clear once. Also LTIR timeline as well but that's irrelevant to this discussion.

The only way an NHL player can be send down without clearing waivers(if they require waivers) is if only 1 teams claims them and that is a team that originally waived him. Lets say we waive Steeves, Team X claims him, waives him 4 days later, we claim him back, nobody else does, we can send him down.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Not really thinking Myers and/or Rifai will be claimed

Was a lot more concerned someone would grab McMann last year and that didn’t materialize
