[Waivers] Filip Zadina


Recommended Posts

Let's assume that PA puts in a claim and he becomes a Canuck. What are the rules on waiving a player just picked up off of waivers? Could the Canucks waive him in September if for some reason they didn't clear enough cap space to carry him on the books - setting aside the "where in the depth chart does Z-man fit" for a moment?

 

This is a hypothetical whereby PA puts in a claim and then figures out what to do with him later. Yes, spending Aquaman's money like a drunken sailor.

Hey Bob, I spent some time trying to find explanations about these charts but only came across baseball WAR charts.  Any chance you got something like that laying around?

 

Appreciate the stats you post and want to better understand what we're looking at.  Cheers.

I think it's also important to understand what the % relates to. It's not strictly 'wins above replacement' anymore, now that it is a % figure.

 

Wins above replacement used to compare a player to a 'replacement level' player (e.g. a 13th forward or 7th Dman on league minimum salary). But now with the % figure it is actually a ranking against all players in the league.

 

So as an example, if a forward has a ranking of 35% in a particular stat (let's say G/60, which is even strength goals per 60 minutes), it might show as red, which looks bad on a chart. But it just means that 65% of all forwards in the league score more G/60 than that player. This is not necessarily bad because you have to consider their role in the team and their deployment. Lots of players we don't expect them to have a high G/60 because that's not their role.

 

Probably the most important thing is not whether someone has a high WAR ranking, but whether that the player is proficient in the role that you have them playing in and that you are paying them a salary in line with that contribution. For example, you can accept that a 4th line player on league minimum salary would have one of the lowest G/60 on your roster (and therefore in the league) but you wouldn't want that for a guy earning $6m who is playing on your top line.

Yes but could only move 1M to minors if he clears so almost $1M dead cap space.

If they claim him off waivers and waive him again Detroit has the right to claim him back and assign him to the minors without going through waivers.

That’s only if there are no claims from anyone ahead of them on the priority list.

Detroit is in full tank mode, I feel sorry for Larkin and Seider wasting the prime years of their careers.

Yeah I feel like they did Larkin dirty… almost immediately after resigned with them they began trading away talent, namely Hronek.

Man you think a team that wants to tank would grab this guy.

 

The Yotes and Hawks come to mind.

... San Jose, Anaheim, Montreal, Columbus, st Louis, Philadelphia, Washington.

 

All before us
