[News] 2015/2016 Waiver Wire

[FlameZilla]

I was into Morin a year or two ago.

At 24 he could still have potential, and the cost to acquire is about right.

Nothing? Do we not have players already that are better?

But then who would you exchange him for on the roster? That is where the sticking point comes in. You have to play him in the NHL, or he needs to be put back on waivers before you can assign him to Stockton.

You are cheering for the wrong thing. Ideal situation: Mason Raymond starts to play great hockey for us, while at the same time, our younger talent continues to progress and challenges him for his spot even with his improved play.

Allowing us, to trade him for value, versus losing him for nothing or having him hang out in northern Cali.

The ideal situation is unrealistic though. Everyone who thinks Mason Raymond is going to come into the season and play great hockey raise your hand. Mr. I did nothing in the offseason different to prepare...

Zach Boychuk will get claimed and waived at least twice this season, such is his track record every year.

Raymond? Beyond that I'd say the inn is full.

I believe he'll be picked up but probably not by us. Granlund/Shore/Byron/Jooris/Arnold/Poirier are practically kicking down the door for roster spots & we won't be able to accommodate all of them. Someone will have room for Morin, though.

I guess the Flames aren't getting a draft pick for Max Power.

I don't think they've released the conditions of the trade but if I had to bet it would revolve around whether or not Reinhart actually gets claimed.

I doubt it. The conditions were probably about making Nashville roster. Not about Reinhart making the NHL with another club.

That's not what I meant. I meant if Nashville loses him for nothing, Calgary doesn't get the pick. Makes more sense than Reinhart actually making the team as Poile has already stated he expects Max to start the season as the #2 center on their AHL team, behind Colton Sissons

Millions (I think it was Millions) speculated it was based on Reinhart re-signing with the Predators and when asked about the conditions of the pick Treliving said without hesitation we will be getting a 4th round pick, leading one to believe that it was a condition that would be very easily met.

That makes more sense. He would have been a really long shot to make the team. If that is the condition, it is hardly worth the trade.

Even More Ideal Situation: Raymond has an injury that isn't career-ending, but takes exactly 18 months to recover, allowing him to last on LTIR and not have a significant cap hit until the end of the 2017 regular season and then return as lovable hometown hero Mason Raymond to score the Cup Winning goal and vindicate his contract.

That is not what I recall.

I recall right after the trade was made that Treliving would not give out the conditions and on 960 Pinder asked him straight up if the Flames were for sure getting a 4th round pick that could be upgraded or if a certain conditions needed to be met to get the 4th otherwise the Flames get nothing. Treliving indicated the latter.

I think I just heard a summary later in the day. I must have misheard.

surprising. Thought they'd either sign Emery or trust Gudlevskis as backup until Vasilevski is back.

This could be good news for the flames. Looks like Lightning are grasping at straws to find a back-up. Now the question is would the Lightning be able to afford the cap space on taking a Hiller or Ramo? At 50% off its still $2.25 million and $1.9 million. Thats not chump change for a back-up who won't play that much. Bishop is probably going to play 60-65 games. Not to mention they will get their back-up back from injury in Decmeber, who they are high on. Then what do they do?
