I’m definitely pro-Dougie and I find this to be a really interesting year for him/us. Is he going to be a 6M dollar player, highly likely. Is he going to play like a 10m dollar player, that’s going to be interesting to watch. Is he a points generating machine or has he hit his high water mark? Will be interesting to see.

What's really strange is the waiver rules state that guys picked up on waivers have to be on the regular roster, cannot see two waiver wire defensemen sticking on the same team for long, so maybe they waive Forsling quickly if they like Juulsen better...I think Juulsen has had some serious vision issues related to a past injury that has derailed his career for the most part.
If he didn't have to take an active roster spot, I'd advocate grabbing Evgeny. After all this time, I doubt he's going to re-gain his explosiveness ... but the guy had hands for days and he and Svech are tighter than tight.
True, but I think he remains attractive to Detroit for the same reason that Carolina might be interested ... removing the brother connection from the equation. They'd probably want a fair amount for the guy. If you can get him for nothing, that's one thing. If it costs you a draft pick in the first three rounds, then that's another.

That's CBA 13.20.b which basically says that the player who was claimed off of waivers effectively needs to clear waivers again in order to be traded. Every team that made a claim the first time the player was put on waivers can simply claim the player again before he can be traded. If none do, the original team can simply claim him back (and then put him on their taxi squad or in the minors).
