Should Flyers claim Ballard off waivers?

claim him?

4.2 million dollar cap hit. And where does he fit on the team? You have 6 defensemen making 3.5 million or more. Adding a 7th makes no sense.

It does if you are trading Mez or Coburn..other than that, agree..no sense.

Yeah, if the flyers had traded coburn yesterday, say for the package that Buffalo got for Sekera, then maybe. But not with the way the team stands now.

I would've claim him if Bryz was still here. We have no use for him now.

Someone remind me of the waiver pickup rules under today's CBA...I don't remember...50-50 split? Whole salary? Whole cap hit?

whole salary, whole cap hit. re-entry waivers were where there was a split, and I believe re-entry waivers are a thing of the past.
