I don't think you waive him with the intent to bring him back. 

That chapter is over.

From what they said if he clears waivers he’s eligible to remain on the playing roster for 10 games or 30 days consecutively before we have to move him off of it. We however cannot reassign him back if we move him without activating him again.

Weekes thinks the Arizona guy is the front runner, but honestly it sounds like he’s been poo recently too. This is about the worst year to have goalie issues. Cap not raising and the market is just awful for goalies.

THN writer seems to think that is less likely due to that contract structure. I do think that might be something Weekes isn't considering. But, perhaps Weekes still has contacts in the franchise that feed him better info.

I wish Nashville was a mess so we could get our hands on Soros.

I think we could still get Soros. It won’t be cheap but it’s a price to pay for a cup or two then it’s 100% worth it. Necas Pesce next years 1st and a prospect. That’s how you do it.

The issue for Nashville is they probably aren't a better team after that trade. 

I think that may be a bridge too far. Maybe we just get a stop gap guy and then get serious in the offseason/free agency.

There is no way Nashville moves Saros. They are sitting comfortably on the playoff bubble right now. The only way I could see it is if it was a deadline move if they fell off a cliff but even then I doubt it.

It’s a low chance but you never know. When Donny Dimes does make a move then it could be a good one.

All of 11 games in the professional circuit… ECHL level. 5-5-1 on a 14-7 team. 

I am guessing this is a Hail Mary while we try to make moves behind the scenes. TBH, Raanta was NHL worst level play so it isn't like Perets not performing well would change much.

Maybe he can be steady enough to be a slight improvement and then as the season unfolds more, we can arrange a longer term solution through a trade.

It’s a just a backup for a night or 2. They have to be working on something behind the scenes.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
