NYR are not a contender without Shesterkin. This is the Price situation for NYR, albeit Shesterkin doesn’t have the injury history at the moment.

It would be really fun to do a reverse Kreider to them in a playoff round. Maybe slakoffskee could run the fucker in your room, some part of his body with an injury that will plague him for the rest of his career.

That would be glorious.
 
At least Lavoie can find solace that two NHL franchises want him to be in their minor league system.

That’s a weird rule, and how did it not applied before.

Not sure really, they didnt go into details on the RDS article. Presumably when the Oilers reclaimed him, another team put on a claim too, but decided not to put a claim when the Knights claimed him the second time. Collusion?
 
It's been that way for years. In essence the player clears waivers when nobody else claims him and the team that had his original rights can send him down without waivers yet again.
 
The problem with the NHL's rule is that players get picked up on waivers by a team, only for them to be sent to the minors by being placed on waivers 24 hours later. It sort of defeats the point.

Follow the NFL's way with practice rosters: Someone on a team's practice roster is available to be signed for anyone in the league, but he needs to be on active roster. If a team picks someone up on waivers in the NHL, they should be obligated to stay on the roster, at least for a period of time.

I get that but when Edmonton reclaimed him, why couldn’t they just assign him to the minors like Vegas just did?

They couldn't because another team (probably the avs) also put in a claim.

If another team claimed with Vegas they also couldn't send him down
