Good that he's back off IR. Cap move.

What would be funny, is if Ottawa claims Derek Ryan.

They have lost Derek Stepan for the season adding a veteran center would help

Waive him so they can make a deal for Connolly? Just clearing the roster hurdles?

Has to be to send him to the taxi squad for some daily cap savings.
I would love Connolly on the flames but I doubt it happens.

It’s cap/roster/taxi squad related. Doesn’t mean he’s not a good player. It’s you not understanding the system.

He would score 8 goals on us. Per game.

If they want to keep putting him on the Taxi Squad on off-days, he has to clear waivers after every 10 games played. He was injured in his 10th game, so this means they're ready to activate him from IR.

I think he understood it just fine. He is implying this doesn’t mean Ryan is a bad signing. A double negative situation if you will.

Unless I’m understanding it wrong.

Oh well doesn’t matter. Fire Ward

I understood the green text as him being sarcastic on ryan being a good player. And I interpreted it as a sarcastic “how can ryan be on waivers, I was told he’s a good player”

I’m saying he’s a good player and being on waivers only means roster moves/cap savings and has nothing to do with how good of a player he is.

Sorry if I misinterpreted it.

No you got it. Ryan on waivers doesn’t mean he’s a bad player. It’s the system you have to work in this covid taxi squad league.

Last time I stick up for a flame player. Yuck
