J0e Th0rnton Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 A lot of times at training camp this is normal to see lots of waivers and wonder who will get claimed. That being said @Brewin Flames am I reading this correctly that the Flames just waived Jakob Pelletier? WTF does your GM smoke. Like Valamaki, I doubt he makes it through waivers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Valamaki, I doubt he makes it through waivers Pelletier is too small to play 4th line minutes, and in 37 games has 4 NHL goals .... IDK he reminds me a lot of that Zadina fella..... Flames also wAived Cole Schwint who came over from Florida as the gem prospect in the hiberdrau and tkachuk deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelletier seemed to do much better at AHL level than Zadina and was looking good until his injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Ewing Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Oilers fans are losing their minds about losing Raphael Lavoie, but I'd guess it's as much because of the Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway signings as anything else... -I can't begin to count the number of Raphael Lavoie players I've seen in my years of watching the game. He's a classic fringe player: has an NHL shot, but is a poor skater. The AHL coach gives him loads of PP time, gets 25ish goals out of him, and then fans of the big team are mystified when any number of coaches and managers on the NHL team see him and don't find room for him on their roster. -24 year olds with 7 NHL games played and zero points can't properly even be called prospects. -It's never optimal to lose players to waivers. The play would have been to trade him last year, for whatever he could fetch: 6th or 7th rounder... If they could have even done that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is so streaky Yup. Colin Chaulk has benched him in Bakersfield a few times in the last couple of years over concerns of "compete level". He says it's gotten better, but it's not something that a pro should be admonished for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas could claim him again and would be free to send him to their AHL affiliate. When this happens, it will be the funniest sh|t ever.
