2016-2017 Waivers Thread

As many as they want.

Wait a second. So you're saying that the team with the #1 waiver priority can use it as much as they want? So if the team with the #1 waiver priority claims five players that the team with the #2 waiver priority also claims, the #1 team gets all five?

No, you can only have one active claim at a time.

If the players are claimed on different days, then yes #1 gets the player every time.

So when does the waiver priority reset?

As I understand it, it's only static in the off-season and is fluid based on the standings during the season.

That might have changed though.

The Leafs will have 1st dibs on waivers until November 1st. That's when it starts to go by the current regular season standings.

Minnesota claims Pulkkinen. They were 14th on the priority list.

PAP to New Jersey.

PAP to New Jersey.

That's a really good fit. He should play in their top-6 there. Maybe even with Hall and Henrique.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. The #1 team gets the first shot at every player on waivers, and can claim them all, if they want.

Not true. You can have as many active claims as you want. It's just unusual for teams to claim more than one player because they have to have available spots on the 23 man roster (or be able to make a spot by noon on the day of their next game) for every player they're awarded.

Huh. That strikes me as a little screwy but there you go.

PAP scores in his 1st game as a Devil. Meanwhile the Islanders have Jason Chimera skating on their top line with Tavares and Ladd.

Pulkkinen is back on waivers, so Detroit's decision looking maybe a little less confusing.

Wonder if the Wings try and get him back. If they're the only team to claim him they can assign him directly to the AHL.
