If Dorsett has been beaten out by younger or better players it's time to move on from him. I wonder what a package of Dorsett + Subban would get us.

If we're going to have his cap hit on the books, he might as well be on the roster. At the very least he's still a very good penalty killer. I could see Dorsett having some interest for a team looking to add an energy role player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 2 hours ago, Harvey Spector said: Just to clarify waivers: When a player clears waivers and is sent down and then is called up again, he does not have to clear waivers to be sent down again unless he has played ten games or has been "up" for 30 days.[4] Question regarding this. Could a player theoretically go up and down repeatedly to avoid waivers? Ex. Stay up for 9 games, get sent down for one game, come back up for another 9 games, etc.?

And when we need the "muscle" we call him up... Great news. Pre-season anxiety over losing him...and things worked out - ballsy move on Bennings part, whenever he dresses in the future our team toughness goes way up. Hope he has an awesome season.

Kakanucks Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is there any limit to how many times we can call up and send players down the waiver line in a season? Like is there a cap off? I remember there was a limit near TDL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex. Stay up for 9 games, get sent down for one game, come back up for another 9 games, etc.? It's a cumulative count. Doesn't reset from going up and down. In your scenario, the player loses waivers exemption after the first game of the second call-up (from playing 9 + 1 = 10 NHL games). EDIT: same goes for the 30 days. A player could be called up and spend 20 days in the press box. Get sent down. Recalled for another 10 days. Doesn't play a single game but his waivers clearance has expired and he must clear waivers again to be demoted (due to 30 total days spent on NHL roster).

Those two seem to work well together. Everyone works well with Horvat. He just seems to be that kind of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leafs live in a fairy tale world, maybe they'd take him. Honestly the only thing wrong with Dorsett is his cap hit. He's a 20 point fourth line energy guy that sticks up for his teammates. The problem is we have young guys that have shown they can play that role now. I think if we retained like 900k there would be teams interested.

HK Phooey Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 7 minutes ago, Harvey Spector said: yes... Not the case, Harvey. Once a player reaches an aggregate total of 10 games and/or 30 days in the bigs, he's subject to waivers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
