Popular Post Strawbone Posted September 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2023 This is pretty much Xmas morning levels of excitement knowing that Canucks hockey is back baby! 44 years I’ve been watching or listening to nearly every game. It’s part of my life, a sort of comfort food for the soul. Just the thought of settling in on the couch for the evening to watch a hockey game is enough to make my day. 6 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll still require waivers. Sending them down now however increases their chance of clearing as other teams are still focused on evaluating their own young players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of players that might get claimed at other times in the season might slip through now. Like what happened with Markstrome all those years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyBoeser Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I hope we don’t do the same thing where we lose all the preseason games. It’s no longer an excuse to say “it’s only the preseason “ we have to come and win! Play the actual NHL roster in all the games. We know lost of the players won’t make the team anyway!

I think there are so many camp battles that we wont prematurely send down a bunch of guys down. Its gunna come down to the last two or three games before we see key guys like Woo, Bones, and Juuls sent down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending them down now however increases their chance of clearing as other teams are still focused on evaluating their own young players. Also another thing to consider is that they will also be sending down players on waivers the same day as other teams will be and I believe teams are limited to one waiver claim per day so if there are dozens of players put on waivers the same day it increases your likelihood of success and getting them through waivers. This is how it used to be anyways, not sure if this is still a rule. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure if a player is waiver eligible they have to pass through waivers to be sent down. There’s no period before the season where you can get around that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waivers are intended to benefit the players so they don't get buried. Teams would absolutely abuse this loophole if they could at any point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waiver period is when these transactions can happen. The players can’t be assigned to the AHL outside of the prescribed window. There’s no loophole to bypass waivers and sneak waiver eligible players down to the AHL. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can send players down without waivers, as long as it's longer than 12 days before the start of the reg season.

KILLER Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Beginning of a brand new and exciting Era...or end of the line for Petey. Only time will tell what adventures the 23/24 season of Canucks hockey will bring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's my understanding That would kinda defeat the purpose of waivers though. The point of them is to give players that are waiver eligible a chance to stick in the league. If this loophole existed some players would constantly get buried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly the same here, late 70s I was 8n the kitchen shooting slappers at mom's fridge, in my head playing for the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
