Bill, I agree with your suspicion on Twitter

"We will see tomorrow but my guess here is Fletcher has reason to believe that Dale Weise will get claimed off waivers. That would take his full cap hit and remaining 1 yr on his contract off the books for Flyers."

If not someone else, I can really see Montreal taking him back

- Baxter27

Montreal did really like him. I could swear I read that they want him back but Hextall really pushed for him to come here.

One time I was going North on 309, stopped at KFC drive thru, ordered a small popcorn chicken...

And when I opened it, it was CHICKEN BREAST CUT INTO PIECES NOT POPCORN CHICKEN.

Breading on at most 2 sides of the pieces.

FYI it was one of those places you can only enter/leave northbound, so turning around was prohinitive.

Maybe Fletch was asked to retain salary and/or throw in something else for the other team to take him. So Fletch, again Hextall did the waiving before and it is a different time of year, is testing the waters for a better deal...giving him away for free.
- Glak18


I think that's the case, potentially multiple teams are interested but are throwing him anvils instead of actual offers. So Fletch is either calling thier bluff or testing the waters.

So you're saying that whatever facilitated the change doesn't matter?

They cant take unnecessary cap. They only have 2 million in cap space with a lot of bad contracts. They are trying to move Talbot lucic spooner sekera and Russel to clear cap. Weise is not a good move for them. If anything I think if we offered simmer and gudas and took spooner Russell we could get pulju and a pick.

I would think that also but Bill Meltzer tweeted that he thinks Fletcher waived him now because he thinks someone will claim him.

What if we waived Weise to take Lucic back?

That's the kind of team you have to guard against becoming. They have some really good players to build around but tried to escalate the team by taking on some bigger contracts. Now they aren't good enough and don't have the flexibility.

Gillette has to be seriously brain dead. Hey alienate 90% of your customer base because you know social justice.
I grill even in the dead of winter during blizzards but somehow I manage to not get into fights and catcall/harass women when Iโ€™m out.
Another reason not to shave other than its hunting season.

Whose offended and since when has this site been exclusively about only hockey.
Maybe itโ€™s you who wears skinny jeans and a beanie in the middle of summer! I donโ€™t have twitter. Isnโ€™t it supposed to be @ whatever not # whatever?
