[sureLoss]

To make room on the roster for Stone.

Had to happen. He was able to be sent down without waivers IIRC. It doesn't mean he won't be back in the future.

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

He's not Wideman, BT is a terrible GM........................

[Toonage]

Ah, peas. Thinking it would be Hamilton.

[Lanny_McDonald]

So much for needing more jam. This is one of the more frustrating periods I've witnessed as a Flames fan. Management just doesn't seem to believe half the stuff they themselves say.

[Finger Cookin]

Makes sense. It was the easiest move to make.

[Monahan For Mayor]

Why not Hamilton ?

It was the only move they could make if they want Stone to play tonight, everyone else requires waivers.

Or, you know, this is about asset management. Do we want another Paul Byron situation for everyone to bitch about?

[Machiavelli]

Hardly anything to gnash teeth over

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

Paul Byron, the key to all our top 6 forward woes.........

Don't see the problem in that. If someone wants Bouma or Hamilton then they can have them.

Sure, but waivers still would require 24 hrs before they could be sent down.
Hence Hamilton.

Likely see someone on waivers tomorrow. He will be back.

Yah, that's great asset management. Even if the risk is low, both players might have some value, why give them away for free.

Wouldn't that actually be poor asset management? I'd rather have anything back in a trade rather than just waiver wire funds.

Besides, after the trade deadline I believe that Hathaway can come back due to expanded rosters.

[FlamesKickAss]

Would've rather have seen Chiasson waived, but maybe another player is still to be waived tomorrow to have Hathaway come back since he didn't need to clear.

[Cleveland Steam Whistle]

Why are people so anxious to have Hathaway come back and sit in the pressbox?

Yeah, losing Hamilton would be such a bone of contention around here.

You never know, somehow losing Byron got a stick up peoples butts. No reason to believe losing Hamilton wouldn't................he may actually play a stretch of great games 4 years from now, and if so, look out around here.

You must have not been around for the Jason Morgan debacle.
