logic

@Alflives you are never required waivers when going from AHL to NHL (anymore). When players Start requiring waivers is very dependant on when they signed their ELC, and the time that passes/games played in the NHL. Their is a chart this...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHL_salary_cap#Exemptions (about 1/2 way down)

For example: McDavid will require waivers at 160 games played (during ELC) but Gaunce will require waivers next season because it will be 5 years after he signed his ELC.  

Watch McCann be a waiver pickup in 3 years.

i like that jb is prepared to move on any player

whether he drafted the player or not

when he sees how that player's development is progressing and begins to have concerns

granlund was obtained for shink when it was becoming clear shink had more limits than upside

mccann maybe prove to have similar limits and was moved for gud (who we still have not really had enough games to assess him. but at least he brings size, some leadership, and was well liked by his former teammates)
