RetroCanuck Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Id claim Mckegg and then waive him the next day to see if we can get him down to Utica. With our lack of centres, injury callups, and mumps he could prove useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Carter was on a PTO with Iowa but the Wild just signed him for the remainder of the season to a two-way deal. They have to put him through waivers to get him to Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Russo, he's not too happy about being in the AHL so the Wild are trying to see if someone would claim him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential trade? would have to think that is the case. doing it just to make them waiver eligible still cant be the only reason. Sounds like they just want Pulkinnen to get claimed, highly doubt a team trades an asset for him unless its to rid themself of a contract so they dont put in a claim. Detroit is unloading, likely they put in a reclaim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter was just signed today to an NHL contract for the rest of the season (playoff depth) so he has to go through waivers to get to Iowa - he was there on a PTO. Instead of me paraphrasing - from Russo in the Star Tribune. Other teams could be in the same situation re waiver reset. Quote Dalpe was placed on waivers I'm guessing to reset his waiver clock. He's at nine games, so if the Wild wants to send him down after tomorrow's game, he'd need waivers (and you can't waive anybody past Wednesday, so the Wild wouldn't want to get stuck). If he gets taken tomorrow, at least the Wild can react. I can't imagine the Wild would want to find out somebody grabbed him on waivers Wednesday -- three hours before the deadline, so that's why you do it today. Pulkkinen is way more complicated. This resets his waiver clock, too, but he's not happy he has been stuck in Iowa and wants to be elsewhere. By placing him on waivers, the Wild's giving him that ability. If he clears waivers, this is also a way of the Wild letting all 29 GM's know that he's available for trade by Wednesday's 2 p.m. deadline without sending a memo to all 29 teams. So bottom line with Pulkkinen: If he clears waivers, Wild's no doubt willing to trade him by Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodycanuckleheads Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Quote well he is our top prospect that we can recall. No he's not! We literally just recalled like 4 players and he wasn't one of them (nor did he deserve to be). Virtanen isn't even AHL quality right now, he should be in the ECHL right now.
