higgyfan Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If JB didn't want Santo, I don't think he would want MP. We already have him in the form of Jensen anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Strome Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 4m4 minutes ago Heatley, Paarjarvi-Svensson, Pinizzotto & Hackett clear waivers. And so many on here said he would be claimed in the top 10. Former 1st rounder or not, he isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Heaters is a f%cking allstar, he got 50in07. Him clearing waivers is sacrilegious. He never recovered from the car accident. It haunts him and will haunt him until death does him part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Strome Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 He never recovered from the car accident. It haunts him and will haunt him until death does him part. He had back to back 50 goal seasons after the accident. So I don't think the accident affected his play. Lack of training and desire are my best guess.

Honeydew Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Heatly is probably a locker room cancer with his work ethic seemed like no care was given especially when he was on a team that's favorite to win the cup this year. Guess his desires and drive isn't there to win a cup for himself this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 He wasn't worth picking up. Nowhere near enough skill to play on a scoring line, nowhere near enough grit to play on a checking line. Add in a pretty lackluster work ethic and you have yourself a bust. Really, he is one of your typical too good to stay in the minors, not good enough to stay in the pros kind of guy. He'll be back in Europe soon enough.

Just claiming on waivers isn't always as easy as it sounds. Have to be ready to throw someone else on waivers to make space. Sometimes sparks a trade with the other team taking back a lower contract to balance contract numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 And? Like people say, for every 5-10 of those guys, you get a Bertuzzi, Lucic, Neely, Are you saying you'd rather not take a chance on any young talent? This is a waiver pickup, whats the worst that can happen? Tieing up an NHL roster spot. It's easier and more flexible to trade an asset not in your plans for someone you want to take a chance on after they've cleared waivers because it allows that team to take advantage of waiver rules. Since MPS is now cleared, and likely assigned to AHL, any team who trades for him can call him up and send him down without having to clear waivers again until either iirc 10 games or 30 days on the NHL roster has been accumulated. So it allows a team to take a small, calculated chance to see if a player can resurrect their career. Worst case scenario, you have farm team depth.
