Hatcher#2 13 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 won't bootland have to clear waivers when we send him back down? maybe someone would grab him. ellis can come and go without having to clear. (i think) All of these guys had to clear waivers after training camp, so because of this they don't have to clear waivers for the rest of the season, i think thats how it works.

Hatcher#2 13 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) pretty sure Ellis and Bootland are both on 2 way contracts thats why they dont have to clear waivers The 2 way contract doesn't come into it i don't think, that just means that the money they make in the Nhl is different from the money they will make in the Ahl. Like just now, Ellis will make $450,000 when he is up with the Wings but he will only make $75,000 when he is in the Ahl. If Ellis was on a 1 way contract his salary would stay at $450,000 no matter what league he is in and that salary would count towards the Wings cap.

KevinD 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 i just remember hearing out of camp that this was it for bootland. either he makes the team or he'll be exposed through waivers if he comes up. (technically, when he goes back down) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 i just remember hearing out of camp that this was it for bootland. either he makes the team or he'll be exposed through waivers if he comes up. (technically, when he goes back down) He WAS exposed to waivers at the start of the season and went unclaimed. Now whether he has to clear again probably doesnt matter, if he didnt get claimed then i dont see why he would now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now whether he has to clear again probably doesnt matter, if he didnt get claimed then i dont see why he would now. for the same reason you would want him up with the wings. also, say columbus makes a couple more deals, needs a 4th line forward, but doesn't want to rush one of their prospects up, so they claim bootland, and finish the year with him getting 6 minutes of ice per game. or maybe dave lewis will want him for the baby wings team he is putting together in boston.

I think Holland knew that Hudler and Kopecky all ready had a spot locked up and thats why he gave them one way contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ozzie30 170 Report post Posted February 24, 2007 i'd take Ellis over Williams anyday.. put Ellis on the 4th line, move Hudler to the 2nd and bench williams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
