Dave Molinari @MolinariPG
Penguins D Tim Erixon makes it through waivers unclaimed.

James Mirtle @mirtle
Sounds like Leafs claim Corrado from Vancouver. Richard Panik is on waivers.

If he has issues, you don't want him working it out on the NHL team. What you want are contributing team members in the NHL. If he needs to work on things in order to be an effective NHLer, he has to do that in a developmental league. You waste a roster spot with an ineffective player that you will either cost you games if you put him in, or sits in the press box night after night not getting any better to be effective.

It's a no-win situation. The only players that should be picked up on waivers are ones that can help the club right now if there's a hole on the roster. If you aren't sure he can contribute to the success of the team, you pass.

Good luck Paul. I think he'll do well in Montreal.

I'd bet more on Shore or Wotherspoon.

I'm guessing Nakladal. The team needs to keep 7 D around and it's unclear what will happen with Smid

Probably because it was unnecessary.

With Byron gone, the chain of assets derived from Theoren Fleury finally ends.

Don't worry, we still have Agostino and Klimchuk from the Kent Nilsson asset chain.

Dim Benning with another fantastic move. I love how competent he is at his job.

It's funny when it's not happening to the Flames.

No kidding, Sekares has been ripping the Canucks for the last 45 minutes.

Benning and Linden are no good.

That is pretty poor asset management by Vancouver.

I assume TO was right near the top of the waiver priority. Probably a good risk for them to take.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.

They were 4th, the only real surprise was that Edmonton passed on him as he would be an upgrade on Reinhart or Gryba

Corrado isn't an upgrade on Reinhart. he'd be a lateral move at best.
