TheRick Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I wonder if the Canucks make a trade to get Mckenna back, would they have to place him on waivers again when they need to send him down to the farm or because the Canucks were the original team that placed him on waivers, can they send him down without waivers?

How was he eligible for that?? Philly basically skirting the system. Unless the commissioner actually initiates an investigation for philly to prove that McKenna needs the stint, they can just pretend he does and send him to the minors for 14 days. No one in the nhl cares if a 3rd string goalie is sent on a conditioning stint even when he may not need to. well, except us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that he'd have to go through waivers anyways. They're better off waiting for his stint to finish. At this point, it makes me wonder if we're better off trading a low 2020 pick for a 3rd string goalie (Fucale from Vegas, Hutchinson from Toronto, Montoya from Edmonton, or Budaj from LA). Marky is one cold or stubbed finger away from DiPietro being our starter... Demko can't come back soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if he were to go back on waivers, which he very likely will, we'd get first crack at taking him and would be allowed to send him down to the AHL immediately without requiring any waivers. Although given the spot we're in we'd likely just take him back for the main roster. Either way there's no need to trade for him. They have like 2 goalies on the injured reserve and will have to waive somebody eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Another tidbit in the Flyers goalie saga. Brian Elliot on LTI conditioning stint, as of today. Really don't see them wanting to keep McKenna ! Edit: At a not too distant point, they might have to waive Stolarz. Payback time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks are the only team to claim him they can send him to the AHL directly. If another team puts in a claim they would have to add him to the NHL roster and then waive him to send him to the AHL. It happened with Boucher. NJD was the original team that waived him. He was claimed by Nashville who put him back on waivers a few weeks later. NJD reclaimed him but another team had also put in a claim. NJD were lower in the standings so had waiver priority. They couldn't send him directly to the AHL because there was another claiming team. They had to add him to their NHL roster and waive him and the Canucks claimed him then.

So we gotta hope that Philly was the only team to put in a claim for McKenna. How many teams are strapped for goaltending right now? I don't see there being very many people lining up to take McKenna off waivers, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto had also put in a claim at the time. It doesn't matter though. It's only if there is another team that puts in a claim when Philadelphia finally waives him. Philadelphia can't trade him before offering him to Toronto because they had also put in a claim. But to put him on waivers it doesn't matter that another team had put in a claim back then.

EternalCanuckFan Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 If McKenna is placed on waivers today by the Flyers, then why not claim him, keep him in the NHL, and keep Manzanec in the minors for depth? That way they preserve at least one G who can pass through waivers without much risk. Kulbakov has played admirably for the Comets but the Comets could still use more depth. Leighton has been getting better but why not add more NHL-available depth? I believe the Canucks have the contract spots for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume so. Particularly as we could automatically assign him to Utica if our claim is successful. They need to actually waive him first though.
