I don't know if "sneak" is the right word, but I think there is a strategy sometimes to try and time it so that you put guys on waivers at the same other similar or better players are going on and just hope they get lost in the mix. You kind of gamble that other players will be more tempting and that teams aren't going to make multiple claims in one day.
Flames may lose someone this year as well though. I personally just hope it isn't Ruzicka.
