Expand No, a NTC only prevents trades. You need a no movement clause to avoid waivers. Quote
IKnowPhysics Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 For the salary and term, we can find better players through trade and FA. Quote

Shootica Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 We need another middle six center. The question is if we'd rather have Johnson than the other available options. If we're feeling confident in out ability to get a different 2/3C, whether it be from free agency or trade, don't put in a claim. But we better actually land that other guy. If we aren't close to acquiring anyone else, claim him. Part of me does kinda want him to fall through unclaimed just to screw Tampa over, but that's not how we should be making our decision. 2 Quote

Expand I know who he is. They want to get rid of him because they can’t afford to pay all of their players. He isn’t crap. If you think he is crap, then I guess I understand why you would think it’s dumb to take him. If you don’t think he is crap, then it could be Buffalo’s only chance to get Tyler Johnson. He doesn’t need to accept a trade to Buffalo. Edited October 10, 2020 by Curt 2 Quote

kas23 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Posted October 10, 2020 How long does waivers take? When will we know? If he’s not claimed, it would be fantastic if a team then turned around with an offer sheet for Cirelli or Serg. Quote

nfreeman Posted October 10, 2020 Author Report Posted October 10, 2020 The timing is a huge part of the question, and a major reason that I do not expect the Sabres to claim TJ. As I posted in a different thread, I think their plan is to be patient and retain flexibility. Committing to TJ by noon today would eliminate a big chunk of their budget and thus flexibility. If the Sabres don't claim him, they are essentially banking on being able to do better over the next week or so than the addition of TJ and his contract. There's a real risk that they won't be able to. From TB's perspective, they might've had a better chance of someone claiming TJ if they had waited until today or tomorrow to waive him, as the musical chairs game is just getting started. It's an interesting situation. 1 Quote
