my guess is that the suggestion, more accurately stated, is that the Sbisa claim is evidence that Winnipeg's need for defensemen, and the need for defensemen across the league, RIGHT NOW, adds an additional layer to the considerations surrounding waiving Gilmour, notwithstanding the historical rarity of such an occurence.

RIGHT?

maybe everybody can be smart together instead of fighting over which one of us is the smartest.

The obvious question is, why didn't the Jets just sign him in the first place?

Perhaps they tried and he wasn't receptive. Once he's claimed on waivers he doesn't really have a choice.

Those who are strong of character don't even notice.

Could be. It's a strange one.

Count me in as one.
I might go back eventually, in a pine box...must be I isolated well though...after 57 years, the cold and snow was way too much.
P,us Rochester is grey as fvck from November through April...all grey clouds, hardly ever sunshine. Depression really

Sucks for the player.

I could be completely off base. Just a guess honestly. But it is weird either way.

Right!

You’re the only smart one here. We are fighting over who’s not the dumbest.

Regardless, you sign with one team, then snagged by another team a day later. WPG is clearly looking for cheap, short term help. Sbisa definitely isn't the answer. But they clearly reached out to him and he said no. But now he's stuck.

"California has the worst quality of life of the 50 US states, according to a recent ranking by U.S. News & World Report.

The Golden State came in dead last in the rankings, released earlier this week in partnership with McKinsey & Co.

The rankings considered two sets of metrics for each state:

Natural environment, comprising drinking-water quality, air quality, and pollution and industrial toxins.

Social environment, comprising community engagement, social support, and voter participation.

Two metrics that did not factor into the quality-of-life rankings: California's high cost of living and immigration rates."

Considering the course of events in Winnipeg this year, it wouldn't be surprising. It's something that would be hilarious to see because for once it's not something that's happening to Buffalo.

Nailed it....

it would be fun to laugh at but we've seen it here first hand...

This one is rarer than rare. He signed a one-way deal yesterday to play in the AHL, then got claimed off waivers.

If you want to claim that the 1% of waived players that get claimed isn't rare, have at it.
- Lunaion

One way deals are to play in the NHL.

‘Rare’ I guess is a relative term. But something that has happened 11 times this calendar year, is about as rare as the calendar changing months. Which IMO is not rare. For a newborn it may be rare, for an old chunk of coal like me it is not.

Also, curious where you get the 1% figure. I am not saying it isn’t true, but I have my doubts. Also, at the beginning of the year when rosters are being trimmed is when the majority of waivers occur and it is less likely that a team will make a claim at that point because they don’t know how their team is performing, they have hopes for their players to perform well, and they don’t have the roster spots to make the claims off waivers which probably skews the percentage much lower.

I could be completely off base. Just a guess honestly. But it is weird either way.
- HonkFortheGoose

I just read (red) they had signed him for their AHL club

I might be late with this

Ty Rattie was waived! In the KHL!

Can you guys BELIEVE we didn't snag him?!?!?

heres a plane ticket

I live in San Diego...perhaps the only semi-sane city in the State and even here it's sliding fast. The weather is fantastic...the people and their politics are abomination. They have never seen a tax they won't vote for. I started a business 10 years ago, and if I knew then what I know now, i wouldn't have bothered. My Dad moved out here with me, but he's now planning on leaving because he can't afford to retire here. The cities are dirty, and getting dirtier on a scale that is tough to properly relay to someone not watching it. Our natural areas are full of homeless encampments and the refuse and human offal that goes with them. We have hazmat teams spraying down the streets with bleach to fight Typhus, and Hep A outbreaks. I have never seen such rapid decline in my life. The only thing keeping us here now is the kid in school. I cannot wait to leave.
