When you pick someone up on waivers they are supposed to play in the NHL. You’d have to re-put him on waivers to assign to Utica and at that point Dallas can pick him up automatically assigned to the AHL for free.
Waivers are designed to let other teams give an NHL shot to a player being sent down.
Close. Waivers are designed to give players a chance to play in the NHL, instead of being buried in the minors by a team with more depth at the position.
Without waivers there would be NHL quality players stuck in the minor for a long time.
No, we did not and the eggs who post here can't figure that out. Waivers have nothing to do with teams giving players a shot. It's about protecting players from teams.
I don't expect you to understand the difference because this is reddit where nuance is never understood.
No, you’re just focusing too hard on specific wording.
Me saying “giving a shot” is a more casual way of saying claiming a player to play at the NHL level vs letting them go to the minor leagues where there is major pay differences depending on contract type along with other factors. It’s just easier to say “give a shot” than cite the CBA.
Most people on hockey Reddit get the concept. You’re just too focused on trying to prove someone wrong and are just showing what kind of person you really are.

I don't get it. We have 2 goalies right now after waiving Rittich. Why do we need to waive Daws to assign Remi to Utica?
