Not sure about anyone elze but to be honest I doubt I even noticed either was on waivers, since I'm just a fan. I do remember wierd turmoil around the ghostisbehere situation but it took me a minute to even realize he wasn't a Flyer this year.
The difference, is that unlike NHL GMs, armchair GMs are not paid to watch hockey all day every day. When a player with a valuable skillset is available for free, I guess I expect them to go back and watch every shift that player plays (and different levels) and make a judgement call.
Surely you hold professionals to a higher standard too, no? Especially when it's their own player and no one is forcing them to waiver him.
