Aladeen Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 There is nothing in the CBA that I've seen that changes your spot in the list because you'd made a claim in the past. The only exception would be if you lost a player to waivers and then the team that claimed him put him back on waivers, then you'd get first rights to get him back.

Master Mind Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Why would they put him on waivers? They easily could have traded him for a pick, even a low one, since it would be better than getting nothing. Another missed opportunity by MG.

theminister Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't think we are... when you make a claim, you go to the bottom of the list regardless of your team ranking. So unless Ottawa claimed someone since we got Sestito... we are behind them. We are at or very near the bottom right now in waiver order. He is a better option than what we have now, but he certainly isn't what we are looking for to help us get a bit bigger and able to compete in the playoffs against the huge forwards of the opposing teams we will be facing. I suspect Gillis will hold fire and try to get something else to pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanKeslord17 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Who knows, he could ignite with a guy like Kesler. Sedin-Sedin-Kassian Jokinen-Kesler-Burrows Raymond-Schroeder-Hansen Higgins-Lapierre-Pinnizotto/Weise Could be some unreal depth, and if he doesn't work out, just swap Higgy in his spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't think that is true. from now through the end of the 2013 regular season, is determined by the “Club having earned the lowest percentage of possible points in the League standing at the time of the request for Waivers.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howswedeitis76 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Can't pass up the chance for a potential 2nd line center without having to trade a player. with injured reserve, we can afford him too. Deal with cap issues in the off-season, like half the other teams will have to. Probably won't get him, but it's worth a shot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Bang Boogie Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 MG should at least put a claim for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opmac Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Probably couldn't, that's why he's on waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Is this guy durable? Or might he have some lingering, underreported health issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 That doesn't make any sense. Surely they should know he'll be picked up. Might as well get a pick for him instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howswedeitis76 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Those saying the cap hit is such a worry, forget it. He actually in a way increases Gillis' flexibility, in that he can be packaged in a trade, sparing one of our regular roster players in getting someone like say Ribeiro. What picks would we have to give up for 3 million in salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Systemaddict Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 He's worth grabbing. He's a fine asset for free. I doubt he gets to the Canucks. He may be having an off year, but it's not like he's old and busted up or anything. The canes simply took on a new dynamic this year with additions that left him more our than in than before. You don't bring in Semin and Staal and not give them big minutes, so someone has to lose out, looks like it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Systemaddict Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Agreed. Only problem is: if we do end up getting him, he'll probably end up being misused (or unused) by AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WL Canuck Fan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I know right...like he's misusing Hansen now. And misused Burrows by putting him with the Sedins a few years back. Or how he's continually given Schroeder more ice time this year after the kid went out and earned it. Man. Hate it when coaches do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
