TheRussianRocket. Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just now, DeNiro said: Not to mention he's a BC boy. Yep. My cousin played a couple seasons with him in BC when they were younger. Was always going to make the NHL. Work ethic and smarts was always there to play a sound game. ...only concern would be who to drop if we picked him up. Already have 14 forwards and rolling with 7 dmen as is. In a perfect world, Higgins is traded away to make room but doubt that happens. Because of the position we're in, highly doubt we get him even though it would be a positive addition.

Mackcanuck Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 If we claimed Ferraro, because of waiver rules, he would move ahead of Shinkaruk and Gaunce on the depth chart. I would not want that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 they would both fit our youth movement, I think we need to seriously consider moving a couple of our forwards who have been here a while. We also need to determine what to do with Prust, ufa to be, will he resign? Is he worth the money or the term, he has a lot of miles and fights on his body, might be beneficial to move him to more of a contending team closer to the deadline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, Toronto took Corrado as depth and this could be relatively nice payback. Petter Granberg: 23, RHed defenseman, 6'3, 205 pounds, 600,000 cap hit, not afraid of rough play/dirty areas, looking like a dependable defensive defenseman at the AHL level. Won SHL championship, was on the Swedish team that won WC. It's always a bit risky to lose your place in the waiver-wire line-up, but this could be a good short-term injury solution until Hutton is back (maybe only one game), then he or Weber could be sent down. No real loss outside of moving down the line-up IMO. There's no such thing as losing your place in the waiver wire line up. The only way your position changes is if your team gets better (or worse) and your spot in the standings changes. You do not go to the end of the list if you make a claim.

-Stammer- Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Granberg would be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So Toronto picks up Corrado on waivers, then puts another D-man on waivers? Wut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cripplereh Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'd take Granberg for sure at this time and then try to trade for Hamonic and when all are healthy either make a trade for room of waiver weber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know how many waiver pick ups in the last decade have made any sort of a difference to a Cup team, even if it was a few years after the claim? I'm just curious if these waiver wire guys are kind of what they are - waiver wire guys, who really are not, and will not be difference makers?

cripplereh Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 not even the same thing!Weber is good passer and on the PP,we need him better on the PP so pretty much we get a bigger guy with a decent pass and only lose Weber who hasn't played how he should!I would be ok with picking up a better D and letting another go when we are all healthy,but again that might not happen and we keep all!

Babcock is known to take his time with young players, Nyquist was NHL ready for quite some years before getting a full time spot for example.

The odds are low, but if the player is young and developing still I don't see the harm in taking a chance. It would cost us nothing more than a roster spot to claim him. Only player that comes to mind is Dale Weise. We claimed him off of waivers, unfortunately Montreal is benefiting from us dumping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KootNuck Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 At this point we need defence and a rhd I say pick him up he has chemistry with edler and the twins, if we have to give up weber well so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Ferrarro might be a decent gap filler for us while kids develop in college/junior/Utica. Look at it this way - we wouldn't be giving up a second round pick this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get a serviceable former 2nd round player for free, it would lessen the loss of the 2nd we gave up for Vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not trade Hansen. Better to trade Higgins. I think he would take Cracknell's spot if we were to claim him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
