Thread: Absolutely head scratching
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>It's also cap management for a low budget team. Putting Henrique on waivers makes him eligible for the taxi squad which saves his daily cap hit each day he's on the taxi squad. If he clears, they can move him between the roster and taxi squad and NHL roster without worry of waivers for 30 days and accumulate cap space. If he gets claimed, the team gets out of an overpaid player without giving up additional assets and it saves them more money.

Fans need to read when they see guys go on waivers. This season especially when it was a flat cap. Nick Suzuki got sent down to the taxi squad too, it was purely a cap move. Many teams have done it.

Chill.</div></div>

Preach man. He's sucked and if he gets claimed we get out of a not great contract. If he doesn't, Eakins has come out and said he'll continue to get a shot, maybe he boosts his value enough to get traded. We probably shouldn't have extended him, but it looked like he was actually living up to the contract last year. He just fell off a cliff this season and guys like Lundestrom have pushed their way into a roster spot, making him very expendable.

Thread: Who I Would Protect in the Expansion Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I can see Colorado, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Nashville and perhaps Tampa (depending upon what happens with Sergachev and Cernak) protecting 4 defensemen, but I don't think it makes much sense for Anaheim. As you so accurately point out, with Rakell and Manson in the last year of their contracts after expansion, we will probably want to protect as many young forwards as we can because it will still be difficult to predict what their upsides will be as they reach the peaks of their careers. I think that it's possible we could work a deal with Seattle whereby we keep 8 forwards and 4 defensemen and Seattle gets to select both a forward and a defenseman from the remainder, or something like that.</div></div>

That side deal would be an interesting idea. Give them two lesser players to keep a guy we think is a big part of the future.
