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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
