Sunday is the big waiver wire day. Monday is roster set. Sunday is probably the day they claim.
Remember, the player has to be able to stick on the NHL roster and bump someone. If they try and send him down, the team that lost him gets first claim on him… and the 1st claim status would be completely wasted.
On Mancini he is like so many that bust when it’s hockey IQ deficiency. He has one choice only turn into a video room mega nerd wattch his tape & compare it watching others. Then & maybe then he’ll learn about decision making skills. If not he’s at best a career AHLer.
As for the waiver wire depth D preferably RH. Kudryavsev imo looks to be solid & reliable for depth D. Is there any rule on waiver pickups if keep so long then can be waived or traded?
