Unless a player is a 100 point guy, he doesn't score every game anyway. He averages a goal every 3 games. If he gets hot and scores 5 in 3 games, that's 12 games he won't score. He doesore than score anyway.

The Columbus and Oilers ones were fantastic

I think you're seriously underestimating how much pro scouts and GMs know about the league. I don't see Kindl as having negative value as long as he can put up some points either. $2.4 mil isnt much of a cap hit.

He thought the grass was greener in NJ but it was just spray painted.

Years since you signed your contract and games played determine if you have to clear waivers. Every Wing but Jurco would have to clear them. Callahan has already been through waivers. Until he has been on the NHL roster 30 days or 10 games he does not have to clear waivers again. Cleary would go through waivers. Assuming he cleared they could recall him with the same time limits as Callahan and he would not have to clear waivers again. If they brought Callahan or Ferraro up tomorrow and kept them 30 days or 10 games they would have to go through waivers again.

My thoughts exactly. As far as Schultz goes, his defense would be better because he would have been in GR learning instead of being allowed to play with no structure.

So he shouldn't be punished for beating his wife?

I'm not sure what's confusing about it. Player clears waivers and he doesn't need to clear again unless he's been on the NHL roster for 10 games or 30 days. Callahan cleared waivers this year already. He hasn't been on the NHL roster at all. If they recall him for a week, he can go back to GR without clearing waivers. It's very simple.

If Babcock really truly 100% for sure wanted to come back, I think he'd have signed already.

You're misunderstanding. Capgeek calculates whether or not a player is exempt from having to go through waivers. From capgeek: However, the waiver calculator does not account for players who have already cleared waivers during the 2014-15 season (ie. prior to opening day) and, since then, have not played in 10 or more NHL games cumulative and not spent more than 30 days cumulative on an NHL roster. In these cases, players will appear to require waivers when they are exempt. Callahan and Ferraro both have cleared waivers already. Until they have spent 30 days or 10 games on the Red Wings roster, they do not have to clear waivers again. They can call them up, have them on the team for 9 games and 29 days, then send them down without waivers. Or they can call them up 9 times to play one game each time, and send them down after the game each time without clearing waivers. Callahan would probably have been in line for a call up but he had a terrible training camp when he was playing against NHL players instead of minor leaguers. He was slow, soft, looked lost with the puck, and didn't put forth great defensive effort. It's going to take a lot more than some good games in GR to overcome that. He has shown absolutely nothing to suggest that he's better than Andersson or anyone else in the NHL. Handle or sig? Either way, no. Slapshot is just a great movie.

The way I understand it unless he's been on the NHL roster for 30 days or 10 games he does not have to clear waivers. The rule states 30 days on an NHL roster, not 30 days since clearing waivers.

He cleared to go down originally. From the CBA: "the Player has not played in ten (10) or more NHL Games cumulative since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared, and more than thirty (30) days cumulative on an NHL roster have not passed since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared." In that case he does NOT have to clear waivers again. In other words, if they do end up putting Abdelkader on IR, they can recall Callahan, let him play a couple games, and send him down without clearing waivers.

Actually, the police have reason to believe he beat the living s*** out of her due to her injuries and people can be prosecuted for domestic violence even of the victim doesn't press charges.

So it's unrealistic to expect him to produce in that role. If he comes up he will play on the fourth line.

I think that once a player clears he can be recalled and sent down without having to clear again if he is up for less than 10 games or 30 days.

Pulk is projected to be a one dimensional secondary scoring winger. I'd they can get good value trade him in a second. Stewart has had a history of attitude and conditioning issues. He'd be a disaster here. Yandle is a soft one dimensional defenseman. He'd never work with Babcock here.

He's also smaller and slower. Iirc only after 10 games or 30 days.

If Holland truly believes that they're one player away from being a favorite for the Cup at the deadline and that player is available, I think he pulls the trigger. They have more prospects than they have room for now. If Pulk continues to score like he has, him one of the D prospects, and a pick or another prospect should be good enough to do it.

I don't think they're a top contender but they're in that second tier of teams that have a chance.

He's playing very sheltered minutes.

Leaf fans being Leaf fans. You'd think they'd won a Cup in the last few decades.

But really, a lot if it's because of all the younger players in the lineup.

Nestrasil might be as food as Drew Miller someday. Cleary looks like his knees are finally better, making him the netter player right now.

Ho look at their size. Almost all of them are 6'0" or bigger.

Have you seen his draft picks recently?
