I think the only reason Ryan cleared waivers is his contract $$ cause he is a solid player just a bit too pricey for his role on most teams including ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cross16 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 It would make no sense to claim Vesey. He's basically a very slightly better version of Simon. Just crowds their cap and taxi situation. I don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Interesting waiver move today. Gusev on waivers. Doesn't work for us cap-wise, but he was a player that could score last year. Would he even move the needle here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same cap as Ghost, almost wonder if those two teams might be interested in swapping waived players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Evgeny Svechnikov on waivers from Detroit. Any interest in a young, cheap LHS RW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosn111 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Sounds like a reclamation project. Talented player, suffered injury and missed time. Inconsistent play. Could he do better than Leivo, Simon, Nordstrom, Lucic? At best he would slot into 3rd line and there are questions around his D-zone. Being an upcoming RFA, could be worth the risk, but I really don’t know. Sounds like even if he clears, could be a cheap trade option. Likely better to trade for him to clear contract / cap space in return. Plus if he clears waivers first he can be taxi squad through quarantine plus. Wouldn’t say no to waivers, but likely not worth it to lose waiver position just in case someone better gets waived in the next 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, this is the kind of thing I might say yes to. In practice, are the Flames the kind of team that can save his career? In a rebuild situation, I would say yes. In our situation, odds are not fantastic. Maybe he comes into his own two years from now, and we look brilliant. I don't believe we're set up for it at the moment. for him to succeed. Maybe we will be a year from now? I'm not sure. What would he do if we went into a rebuild, got loads of minutes and loads of support? But to be completely honest I think he's best on LW. So he won't be getting loads of minutes there unless we do a lot of house cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 I would make a claim, if for no other reason than to try and find some size and skill on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchie is a plug on the 2nd line. He's devaluing Monahan and Gaudreau. No cost to claim, no loss if he picked by Seattle or not. For all the good reasons to make a claim, we will not. We are just spinning our wheels this year. No improvements. Depth at center? Peshaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monahan is the one who needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Svechnikov cleared. Joakim Nygard is on waivers today, we tried to sign him but chose Edmonton instead. Will be interesting to see if we make a claim. Tons of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ans that’s what I mean. It would be a good thing to be expansion eligible. We need to expose someone and need to find Johnny and Monny a true top line RWer.

Another player that teams had high hopes for, like Kahun this year. Or Reider when he played in EDM. Seems like only certain players can make it in EDM. McD and Draisaitl. The rest get propped up by them. If they don't stick, they get dropped down to crap lines. Poolparty is trending there the same. I think we could use some more speed, so Nygard makes some sense. Don't really see where he fits. Maybe as a RW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfaninlethbridge Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 JP won't ever go lower than second line on their squad IMO. And they have more secondary scoring than they've had since their cup run. I can't see anybody claiming Nygard tbh, and this team needs a heck of a lot more help than him. The Flames have to trade assets to get assets. claiming players like Nygard won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK That's a very good point, we have to start somewhere. I still think we should be at least trying for Hall. It would cost a lot and be some fancy fandangling to get it to fit, but that's what we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see any numbers, stats, or results of his to justify the Hall love in that most seem to have. Sure if in the off season you can get him as an FA for around 5 mil then why not but theres no reason to be actively pursuing him before the season is up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
