Waiver Wire

[bIueadams 776]

Edmonton just waived Tyler Benson

Literally just turned 24 year old left wing and former 2nd round pick, has been a PPG dominate AHL player for a while now. Only 7 games in the NHL where he hasn't done much so far.

I'd claim.

I’ve watched quite a few Oilers games the past couple of years( my friend is an oilers fan). When Benson has been in the lineup I don’t notice him at all, I think injuries has slowed his development but for free I might give him a chance

We already have a Zadina.  

[Akakabuto 1,751]

Claimed by Seattle, meaning 21 teams passed on him(including the Red Wings).

Isnt the waiver wire a rolling list though? Like once you succesfully make a claim you roll down to a lower priority. If so, the Wings recently got Hellberg, meaning we perhaps DID claim, but Seattle had higher priority. 

Idk fersure though and dont feel like reading the CBA.

This was according to Capfriendly. They're usually right.

Yeah disregard im completely wrong. Eli Tolvanen confirmed sux and Yzerman hates him.

Its not a bad pickup for them considering their 50-man roster has a huge vacuum between ages 20 and 26. The picks from the expansion draft were all 25 and up and they just starting drafting prospects. Almost all other teams already have a bunch of underachieving 22-24 somethings

I tried to be patient on him but numbers don't lie...who would want him? Return on him has to be minimal..

I generally believe the best he'd get us right now is a 7th round pick, possibly even conditional.

If Nash couldnt find takers for Tolvanen, then Zadina has no trade value.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. At the deadline all sorts of players get traded exclusively because it's needed to make the cap situation work. Washington couldn't have traded Richard Panik for a handful of beans a few years ago, but he gets thrown in to the Mantha trade (and Leddy trade) and he's on another team. Or remember Red Wings' legend Joe Vitale? Thrown into the Datyuk trade? Gonna go out on a limb and say he wasn't worth a lot mid-season either. But at the deadline he's got value simply in terms of balancing the ledger.

Hey, this happened to me in the last EA game.  Started an expansion franchise and got saddled with crappy 25-30 year olds.

The Islanders forum will probably pick him up.

Panik was a cap dump and Vitale was perma LTIR stay under 50 contracts situation.

It'd be a bit of blunder for SY to award Zadina 3 years @ $1.825 and then immediately get negative value from him as a cap dump trade in the same year. But if it happened with Panik it could happen you're right.

Just like my... oh, yes, Islanders.

Dont normally comment on waiver bros, but I really like how Axel Jonnson-Fjalby plays. WPG just waived him.

The Jets have been losing their best depth guys to waivers all year this year cause of Logan Stanley (who theyre trying to trade) jamming up the roster. Looks like AJF is the next to go. Id claim him if we have a spot. 26 yo LW. Plays a very fast up tempo game, and is real good on the forecheck.
