Fanuck Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 5 hours ago, HKSR said: Project failed. But you can't deny that Minny did a smart thing by claiming the player, giving him a look, and determining whether or not he works with their roster. In this case, no, he didn't, so they waive him, but it cost nothing to acquire him so why not give it a shot? "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" Pretty much true. I'll add that it's rather futile (not worthless necessarily, but futile) for GM's to think they know better than legendary GM's such as Ken Holland. When Holland puts a guy on waivers, it's for a reason and that reason isn't that he's trying to 'pull a fast one' on his GM counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lose three games and everybody is freaking out. At this point in the season, unless you are 100 percent sure hes better than what you have, stay the course.

mll Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 They put him on waivers because they have several injuries and want to have roster flexibility to recall players from Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Gotta pick him up this time!! We are so desperate for any good snipers and correct me if in wrong, Skille, Virtanen and Granlund just aren't snipers!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If he is not in your top nine forward group than don't bother. Detroit was not in a position to use him where he'd succeed with them, Minnesota has also found out playing him under 10 mins a game won't work. His defense has actually improved as has his skating but unless he continues to improve overall he won't get to earn a spot in a top nine role. Some team with a major injury to a top winger should look at claiming him for the time being to provide offense. Thinking Dallas, Boston, Buffalo, Florida, the Kings or even Pittsburgh.

I find this very frustrating. We currently have Burr Dorsett Rodin Megna and potentially Gaunce injured and we let this kid slip by twice. We literally have 9 healthy NHL forwards and Virtanen is a debatable if he would be better served in the A soooooooo lets play Zalewski Skille Biega and let Pulkkinen keep passing by. Whats the worst that could happen if he doesn't work out send him packing at least he has a better chance of making an NHL career than any of those guys.

That wasn't my point, which is this: With top end salaries hogging larger percentage of any teams payroll, teams like Detroit are going to have to make quicker decisions on whether a player has a future with them, otherwise they with be forced to jettison players for cap reasons at disadvantageous times. Detroit could have shined this guy up and traded him in years passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even us not re-claiming etem... guess Aquaman and whoever owns the Wings (illitch something?), wanted to save a little cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
