Rangers have too many slow to react players … hockey is bang bang.

Carolina plays like they have 8 guys on the ice.

Nobody in the NHL has scored more goals than the Buffalo Sabres.

Watching a local sports ticker, every team was listed by name, and then there was Oilers - Seattle.

Guess they didn't feel like releasing the Kraken.

/Whoops, missed one. Winnipeg - Flames

The more I think about it there is zero reason for a team not to claim Vrana unless they're colluding with Yzerman to send him to the A which is bullshit.

He has a pretty hefty cap hit though and it's likely that any team that puts in a claim would have to make other moves to fit him under the cap.

One more year at $5.25 should not be a deterrent

A tanking team like Chicago, Anaheim or AZ could claim him, fix him over the next two months and trade him at the deadline with cap retained and cash in on a pick/prospect. For free.

Hell, Buffalo's in a playoff race with his current team and could plug him in.

It would make absolutely zero sense absent collusion for him not to be claimed.

Also, not a single "insider" saying a single thing about this situation is hilarious to me.

Can only imagine what it would be like if the Leafs or Canucks etc. had done this.

If Leafs or Canucks had done this, he would not have cleared, as our GMs are not revered
also, he would be signed at $7.5, not 5ish, as our GMs.....

Yeah just saw that and I am calling bullshit on this. You mean not one team would want one year of him at that price?!?
does he go through re-entry waivers? half price?
