Champions of Nothing Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The onus should be on the GM's who are looking to pick a player up to see if he's waiver eligble or not. If you want that player do some minor due dilligence work for the player. I don't see any reason why a GM should have to give up a player on a silver platter.

canuck2xtreme Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Personally, I don't like that. It's dishonest in my opinion. If a guy gets waived in the NHL every team gets notified and it is on about a million different websites. I don't think GM's should be trying to "sneak" players through waivers. I would agree if I buried it in a block of text. But it was it's own post, and it was posted in the same fashion as all my roster moves. So I don't feel I did anything wrong. If it was in the middle of a long paragraph where I mentioned that he was 'being sent down' and that was the extent of it, I'd agree with you. But I wouldn't have done that, because that's not cool.

Sharpshooter Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Because that's how it works. Would it be fair if a certain GM placed a player on waivers, but typed it in German? How would we know, but he did technically say player A was on waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champions of Nothing Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I wouldn't mind if they typed in in German....that's what Google Translate's for. If a GM says theyput 'x' player on 'Waivers' or 'Assignment', that's sufficient for the League to move the player. If other GM's cannot do the minor task, in a 24 period, of checking to see if that player can be claimed or not, then it shouldn't be the waiving/assigning GM's responsibility to do that work for them or make it easier for them, nor should it be the League's. The GM fulfilled the requirement of giving the League notice and the League received proper notice....all rules and obligations were met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yes but "assigning" or "sending down" a player is not a valid move if they are waiver eligible, because they have to clear waivers before they can be sent to the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champions of Nothing Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I agree. And simply saying that "The Pittsburgh Penguins waives player X".....is sufficient. It's still the responsibility of the other GM's to see if the player is able to be claimed or not, as per: There is no mandate that the wiaving team has to stipulate whether or not the player is eligible or not eligible to be claimed from the waiver action. Again, it's not the duty of the waiving GM to disclose the claimability of their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It says specifically that you have to state that you are placing a player on waivers, no that you are sending him down. That's the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
