DeNiro Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 What's the new rule on re-entry waivers? Is there still such a thing? Or are teams off the hook for paying half a claimed player's salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Basically cos kassian beat the crap out of one of the Canucks top public enemies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think a key part to this is - If they waived Alberts and assigned to the AHL, he would've still counted against the cap, while Vandemeer can be assigned to the AHL and not count against the cap.

riffraff Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Usually I agree with you but not on this Smass. Kassian did get a couple of shots in before being spun around and thrown to the ice by Eager. He did draw blood but the fight was a tie. After seeing Kassian's play last night I'd rather him be on the ice than sitting in the penalty box for 5 min fighting and 2 min for instigating. Especially right now when we are missing 2 key forwards. I'd rather have Vandy as 7th D, agitate a couple of opposing stars and get into a scrap and lay the law down. Hopefully he could get one of the opposing team's better players to drop the gloves ie: Lucic and take him out of the game for 5 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yeah, the same Lucic who single handedly destroyed Buffalo's season and bullied the whole team into submission. This guy laughs while fighting him and Canucks of all teams in the league don't need him. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 There are no re-entry waivers anymore. So when we need him again he can simply be called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Vandermeer is the kind of player you maybe add at the trade deadline if your looking to add beef to the lineup for the odd game to set the tone etc. Vandermeer is not the player that will make or break the Canucks and I can appreciate his toughness.

Lockhart Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Eager didn't really get any good shots in on Kassian, all he did was wrestle him to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 only a homer would say Kassian beat up Eager. Kassian landed 1 shot above the eye resulting in a cut. Eager landed 2 shots to the back of Kassian's head and took him down. It was a draw. Edit: In a fight it's not how you start, it's how you finish. While Kass started strong with a punch he ended taking 2 shots to the head and going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So the games between now and trade deadline don't count? Team doesn't need toughness between now and then?? Was it post trade dead line when Lucic ran Miller and single handedly ended Sabre's season and playoff hopes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkeeterHansen Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 His Lack of Sterling play has prevented him from Joslin for a position on the Canucks. He should be Mullen his play over the next few weeks or else he and the horse he Rodin on will be Friesen for the rest of the season in Chicago instead of in the Hunt for the Stanley Cup in Cannata.

WHL rocks Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Punches to the back of the head barely do any damage. He landed a couple, but nothing huge. And typically in a takedown you wanna be on top of the guy, not have the guy fall backwards on top of you. If it was a clean takedown I would say it was a draw. But the fact that it was such an awkward takedown, and Kassian landed the biggest shot and did the most damage, means Kassian won Not by a huge margin, but he won.

DeNiro Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Here is someone who has no idea what they are talking about claiming to be expert on the subject. A punch to the back of head is way more dangerous and damaging then a punch to the face. A punch to the back of head is banned in fighting sports because it can cause severe damage. The back of the head is the most fragile part of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
