Official Waiver Wire Thread

Montreal would like to buy out Mike Fisher. I'm told it's a 20% penalty (previous GM + over $3M) so that should be a $690,000 hit against the cap. Let me know if that's wrong.

Edit: Just to clarify, he's on waivers for the purpose of buying him out.

Flyers get Palushaj.

You are correct sir.

They will be released at the end of the waiver window; no buyout penalty.

SJ recalls Jesse Winchester. No waivers.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 3:55 pm

I think Fiala needs to be manually sent down because he's under-20. He's still on my NHL roster and I'm over the cap with him there. I sent him down in the GMO, but it clearly didn't take.

Also Liedes demotion didn't go through.

Jets GM · Post by **Jets GM** » Fri Oct 17, 2014 4:09 pm

I had some trouble with U20 AHL demotions to. I'm not sure if it took on the repeated attempts, or if it was Bub doing it himself. The demotion was probably lost in the re-sim. Doing it through Office again should work.

PM Dan, or I will do it myself Saturday.

Boston recalls Bo Horvat and demotes Matt Puempel. Neither player is eligible to be claimed on waivers, so back off.

Just a question here:

Why do people post here if we can do it all in GM Office?

You used to have to post every demotion here since they were done by hand. I'm not sure why people are still posting ineligible players though, or:

I'm posting it to make sure it doesn't get missed in GMO.

Jets GM · Post by **Jets GM** » Sat Oct 18, 2014 9:36 pm

From now on, if it can be done through GM Office I am going to assume you have done it that way. If you can't for whatever reason, please make a note. This is mostly about re-calls/demotions of over 20 players.

Ya I didn't see John Mitchell was brought up through office, I just thought you made a mistake. Bub will send him back down when he sims tomorrow.

Rulebook says that we have to post each transaction (i.e. promotion/demotion)
here in this waiver thread . . .
Or I am wrong?

Thanks butt to make it clear John is NHL, Torrey is AHL. Last time I sign 2 guys with the same last name....

That was before GM Office. It's still good practice, and shows your not trying to push guys through if they are waiver eligible.

It would help the simmers if you've made a note about transactions already done through office, however.

DET demoted Winnik thinking he wasn't waiver eligible because of his TW contract.
Since we don't use them anymore, we decided to leave Winnik on DET's roster since he just wasn't aware of the new rule.

I think Pat contacted both guys involved and everything was fine. Just a misunderstanding.

This. Since we did not explicitly say 2-ways were no longer relevant to promotions/demotions as they apply to waivers, we revoked this claim. We did not go through the file and delete every 2-way clause in the game, but they have NO meaning in the game anymore.

New waiver proposal:

For players 26 or older, contract of 1 mill or less and = waiver free; over 1 mill he can be claimed

For 25 and under, contract of 1.5 mill or less + under 100 NHL GP = waiver free; 1.5 mill or less + over 100 NHL GP = can be claimed (players making over 1.5 mill can't play on the farm anyway, excepting players on their ELC)

Players on ELCs are exempt regardless of contract
