Peter Schaefer - Trade or Waivers

Anaheim GM · Guru

Schaefer is now officially on waivers.

I do not know the actual intent of placing Schaefer on waivers, whether to rid of his contract or what, but currently it shows him on the Minor roster. Under both circumstances of rating and salary, he cannot be in the minors. Not sure how this is handled. I do not see Anaheim's intent on trying to have him there. I just wasn't sure what the ruling is on this.

I think that in the rules it states that if he passes through waivers, he just goes back to the pro roster anyway. The act of putting him on waivers, is simply an attemt to give him away.

what steve says is true. cause i tried putting gerber on waivers and he cleared yet he HAD TO STAY on the my pro roster.. which means.. putting guys on waivers is pointless.

It's kind of true. BUT, putting a player on waivers still exposes him to be picked up by any team in the league. So it's not completely pointless.

If he clears waivers why can he not go to the minors, that is the whole point. It is being done by most of the teams in the NHL and the reason for having to put him on waivers. If he clears regardless of cost or age he should be able to go to the minors if no one else wants him.

Just went through Our rules and I see what the problem is.

This needs to be changed in the off season regardless of Salary.

i think the worry was that teams would bury guys in the minors that could help out other teams.... for example, you could spend 6 million on a player who had amazing year then if he struggled they would bury them on the farm....

Yeah, but he can't go to the minors and be paid only 10% of his salary... That would be foolish!

As far as max OV and max salary on farm, I think it makes way more sense to just say that guys with an OV greater than X or a salary greater Y must pass through waivers before being sent to farm REGARDLESS of age or games played.

THat way you can't hide a good (but expensive) player on the farm, because if he's that good, someone else will grab him on waivers, if not, then he deserves to be on farm.

This is something I think we should implement next year.
