he made the team. Had a fantastic camp apparently.

The Pens have 8+15+2 = 25 players still, who's injured?

Sounds like Diaz is heading back to Europe.

Is there a time limit on when a team can put a player on waivers for today? Say like noon. Or are they allowed to put players on waivers at any time during the day, and waiver wire time limit to claim is 12:00 noon eastern time the next day?

always noon (Eastern time), both for waiving and claiming a player.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
DET has Lashoff, Callahan and Miele on waivers today. I'll be curious to see if one or more of them is claimed. Wouldn't be surprised.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
CBJ has Bodnarchuk, Falk and Chaput on waivers. Cal O'Reilly for BUF also on waivers. Everyone on waivers yesterday cleared.

Thought today would be the day the flames waived Raymond. I guess he is staying up with the big club for a little longer.

sureLoss · 10-04-2015, 10:15 AM

Tomorrow is the last day to put players on waivers for the purposes of re-assignment before the roster has to be at 23 players on Tuesday at 5pm ET

Finger Cookin · 10-04-2015, 10:17 AM

Wouldn't a player assigned tomorrow clear at noon ET on Tuesday, 5 hours before the roster deadline?

Yeah. It would make sense if a team is trying to sneak a player down that they would wait until tomorrow to put him on waivers. As for a player like Raymond you would think you would want to do it as soon as possible. Bahhh don't see Raymond being waived. Hope this does not mean Grandlund gets sent down. Not a good message from the management.

Fire · 10-04-2015, 10:53 AM

I really thought Raymond was going to get waived, but I guess the injuries save him for now. Plus his last game was solid.

Fire of the Phoenix · 10-04-2015, 11:00 AM

I would much rather have Raymond as the 13/14th forward rather than a player with actual potential like Granlund, Shore or even Hathaway. I don't get why people are so offended by his presence, other than the "potential" cap implications beyond this year.

For me it's not that i care if he is the pressbox guy for most of the season , it's management saying all summer that if you play well in pre-season you make the team. Granlund and even Byron ( only available for the last quarter of pre-season) out played Raymond. I get that Granlund can be sent down , but i have to think it would piss him off. There's a big difference in salary for a player like him being sent down. Not sure who they will send down between Granlund and Byron?

I guess I don't view sitting in the press box as making the team. I'm sure guys like Granlund might disagree (probably mostly due to the NHL paycheck) but I think the worst thing we could do with some of these guys is not let them play.

I would still call one of them up when injuries happen and play them over Raymond though.

I think most are fine with him being a healthy scratch regularly over a real prospect.

Why are people so offended by his presence? Because Raymond hasn't done enough to earn himself a spot on the roster. He's been outplayed by every single forward remaining and was outplayed by Hathaway as well. Also probably because he doesn't really fit our identity and he doesn't make us harder to play against. He possesses speed and a shot. But he can't win battles along the boards or in front of the net, he doesn't protect the puck well, he can't cycle and is very inconsistent and streaky. When he's not scoring, he's not helping the team win. All the other forwards he's competing against have much greater intangibles, physical play and two-way games.

I think most fans like the makeup of our team without him better. With little Hudler and Gaudreau occupying some of the top winger spots on our team it's in our best interest to have as much size and physicality as possible on the other lines. Raymond is soft and non-physical. He just doesn't really have a place or a role unless we sustain multiple injuries. So yes, I guess most of us are fine with him being the 14th forward and barely playing but that isn't exactly ideal either.

Diaz will ask for a release if he's not up in the NHL in a month.
