lol, I know who he is. I was attempting to make fun of the assumption that he's relevant. It's like: OMG RORY TO THE LEAFS.

They're saved for sure.

What EXACTLY does it even mean then to waive a player?

Played with Chicago last couple season, signed with Carolina in the summer, if they hadn't gotten Matt Cullen back I think he would have fit in better on the 3rd line, they used him on the point on the PP and had a wicked shot, I think he'd fit in well somewhere for a 3rd or 4th liner.

If a player passes through waivers, he remains property of the team who waived him. Therefore he can be traded by that team. Even though they waived him, they do not have to demote him to the minors. He can only be claimed on re-entry if he is sent to the minors then recalled.

Let me understand.. you are allowed to put someone on waivers... and still trade them??

Hmmm. Well if the Canes can get anything out of it they may as well do it quickly, because someone will definitely take this guy off their hands on re-entry (just like Recchi).

Trade him to the Pens for a 5th or 6th rounder.
