radoran Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Am I crazy to think that discussing possible trade destinations for a player that cleared waivers and could have been had for nothing is a bit of a waste of time as a thought exercise? https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-top-five-trade-destinations-for-josh-ho-sang-as-islanders-look-to-move-former-top-prospect I'm probably crazy. Or NHL GMs are crazy. That's probably it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want nothing to do with a guy who has tons of talent but blames everyone else but himself because he's uncoachable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then I could see him tripping and falling and he would blame the blue line for not giving him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, a team can’t claim a player on waivers and then send them to the AHL. However, if the claiming team originally had the player in the first place, that club can send them to the minors right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
