Drummin' Canuck Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 This is interesting: "Waiver order is determined by the standings. The team in last place gets first chance at players put on waivers." http://thehockeywrit...l-waiver-rules/ This would appear to mean only Columbus and Buffalo passed on him. He got snapped up fast I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPizzle Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Still wish we had him over Dale Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieksa Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 In all honesty we had 5LWers 3 RWers and 1 LW/RWer so it made sense by position.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Whatever will we do without Aaron Volpatti???? For crying out loud we lost a dime a dozen player we could replace in less than 5 minutes give me a break you people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander.Edler Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 DAMNNN!! I knew he was going to get claimed. All the best patti, will definitely be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Lol at some of these comments. 'Perfect 4th liner' He's 27 and has played just 54 NHL games, scoring just 4pts in the process while never being a plus player. Mr. Perfect? 'Why didn't we trade him and get something for him?' See above. No value. 'Heart and soul player' Sure. If not being able to play hockey all that well or not being able to play a full season counts as heart and soul. 'We should never lose these kind of players' Dime a dozen scrubs? Can't keep 'em all. etc. Not hating Volpatti now. He was an 'alright' 13th forward. But some of these comments are hilarious. I suppose the same crybaby-type stuff gets posted after every loss too, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zissou Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 dang... but it was to be expected. What a few days for Canucks fans, rough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug Source confirms Oilers were one of several teams who had a claim in on Volpatti. Caps lower in standings, they got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck73_3 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Although I do agree with you, Volpatti was more of a 4th liner then Weise will ever be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFrame14 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Yea saw that coming.. I'm honestly really starting to dislike management.. Gillis should of traded Lou this off season when the leafs offered him schenn, or a deal involving kadri.. Now no one want Lou, schnieds is gettin pissed off, and we are gonna end up trading Cory.. We won't win the cup with Lou, plain an simple.. GmMg has pissed off manny.. We traded coho for kassian, which I'm fine with if we used kassian other then a 5 min per game plug.. That booth trade is looking awful, not to mention the Ballard one.. Seriously what has gillis done for our team in te last few years that is beneficial???

VicNuckleHead09 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Maybe GMGM asked gillis to put Volpatti on waivers for good graces to preclude a trade? highly unlikely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
