Hathaway, Sieloff, Wotherspoon, Nakladal, Morrison to Stockton. UPD: Shore clears

[sureLoss]

Per Ren Lavoie

#Flames cuts today. Prospects Hathaway, Sieloff, Morrison all off to Stockton. Drew Shore on waivers. Could be picked by another team. Per millions

[Toonage]

Not unexpected. Not shocked. But I am curious to see if this league wide interest in Shore was real.

[mikephoen]

Unfortunately not a surprise. I think he clears.

[squirtle]

Had times where he looked really decent, and other times where he was just lackluster. I think this was the right move.

Colborne must be okay?

I think it's more that Hathaway and Granlund have shown more.

I'll say 20%~ chance he gets claimed.

[GranteedEV]

Hope he clears, and that they gave him a strong message on what to work on in the minors if he does clear. I still see real upside in this kid.

[AC]

Worst case he gets claimed and we lose a depth forward.

I'd prefer to use Granlund, Hathaway, Agostino, Arnold, and Klimchuk in a call-up personally.

Even with Colborne out I think we still needed to waive him.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Ferland - Bennett - Frolik
Bouma - Backlund - Jones
Bryon - Stajan - Jooris
Bollig, Raymond

Colborne IR
Hathaway, Granlund Assigned
Shore Waived

[Fire]

I think he clears and I hope he does because he does provide some solid depth, but just not good enough to earn a spot on the team.

Pretty much. Colborne's injury might postpone things for Raymond or Byron.

You and maybe 2 other posters. He's 24 by the way, not a kid.

[Enoch Root]

Bottom line is that he hasn't raised his game since being acquired last year. Whether that's due to injuries, opportunities, numbers or whatever, at the end of the day the result is the same.

And Granlund and Hathaway have both looked better in camp.

And the Flames have too many forwards so, no choice. No doubt Treliving shopped around for interest but at this time of year, every team is in the same boat.

So you send him down. If he gets claimed, then so be it. If not, we have a larger stable in Stockton.

[Crumpy-Gunt]

I think he gets claimed.

[Bezer]

I am pretty disappointed to see Shore on waivers, but to be honest, he has left me wanting more when I watch him play. I hope he doesn't get claimed and develops in Stockton then he gets another shot with the big club in the future.

[The Original FFIV]

20/20 hindsight we should have sold high at the deadline last year when people were calling on him.

Good on the other players for forcing this decision - Treliving talked about 'bottom push' which results in moves like this.

I think that's real close to what will happen - although I think Raymond gets waived and we have 13 forwards, 7 D and 3 goalies to start.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

Treliving is tackling the roster the way I used to take tests: doing the easiest questions first and delaying the tough ones.

[Cheerio]

one of the best faceoff guys on the team and had the highest PPG on Adirondack last season. He'll look good in Arizona this year.
