For those interested, this cost Vegas $56,250, paid to Calgary and not counted against the cap.

VGK needs centre depth that badly?

I hope Schwindt does well. Not sure why he couldn't figure it out with us.

If the Flames were good then I bet they would have kept Schwindt as a low cost 4th line center. They don't really need one right now though and Schwindt will be passed over multiple times by the time they do.

Uh ok. He’s not good

Knights raiding pacific teams waiver wire

I mean he's nothing special but that's a hit to an already shitty natural center depth chart. Big, moves well, good shot when he can get it off, solid both positionally and defensively. Isn't physical or aggressive enough. Really only has bottom 6 upside and more 4th line than 3rd but you could do worse for a prospective 4C.

Could see the Flames claiming him back if he is waived again this season. He was a fairly important player for the Wranglers.

Seems like even Morton was ahead of schwindt on most peoples rankings.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Not really sure about this one. At best he's 6th/7th on the center depth chart?

So...who's getting bumped off the Vegas roster to make room for these two claims?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Team without prospect claiming a couple of sorta prospects. We'll see if they can survive 30 days now.

The only guys that won't take waivers are Brisson and Holtz. If I had to guess I'd say Karlsson is probably going to miss games and Brisson starts in the AHL.

I think Rooney upping his game and extending is why Schwindt is in this scenario. Rooney is doing what we were hoping Schwindt would be doing for us now. Flames also have a few guys who will share bottom 6 C responsibilities.

I think the Oilers are more upset about the VGK claims than us. I think they needed a bonafide 4C more than we did, especially after the McLeod trade.

Yeah, the Flames don't need to worry about plugging the 4th line.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Fantastic

The question is would the Flames take him back
