Thorner Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 What's the next step in the process after waiving a player? Does he go to the AHL/Europe, or is it a tryout at top-9 centre on the big club? Quote
kas23 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 I’m wondering if he was refusing to report and the visa issue was just something to save face. Quote

Hes been on the ice with them. Likely they just didn't like the chemistry or they liked what they already had brewing I'd say. Quote
Norcal Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 Barré-Boulet on waivers maybe they're making room. Quote

dudacek Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 Bizarre all the way around. If another shoe fails to drop (he clears, we make another move that makes him redundant) I don't see the point in making a claim. Surely they weren't going to make a call on him based on the single exhibition game he missed? Quote

If none do, the Caps are then free to send him to Hershey. Quote
Digger Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 could be that today is the best day to put players on waivers and that they don't know enough about him yet. He might be a nice insurance guy for call up in Rochester Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 I guess that Hayden and Eakin are making the team. Quote

Because they were the original team to put him on waivers. If we were allowed to claim players and send them down ourselves, no worthwhile player would ever make it through waivers and the teams at the top of the waiver priority list would just stack their AHL teams. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Fyi - He has a 2 year deal. I’m actually shocked there is a photo of him in uniform. Edited October 10, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

Doesn't sound right to me. I would think he still belongs to the Sabres unless Washington were to claim him back. When we waive him anyone can pick him up and if nobody does we get to send him elsewhere. Quote

I'd have to dust off the CBA to remember the specifics, you may be right, but either way the Caps get first dibs at sending him to their farm team. Very little chance he ends up in Rochester.

Taro T Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 If nobody else has a waiver claim in on him, then the Caps have the option to reclaim him and send him to their farm club. If he clears this round of waivers (none of the other 31 teams including the Caps put in a claim on him) THEN the Sabres can assign him to Ra-cha-cha. 1 1 Quote
