Recchi on waivers...?

[Allsmokenopancake 0]

Apparently Calgary have a claim in on him, and because Pheonix have already made a claim for Bryzgalov, only the caps and LA stand in Calgarys way of getting him.

On a side note, I did not know that making a successful waiver claim exempted you the next time. This may have just been said wrong, but the way I read it, because pheonix had already used a waiver claim, they go to the back of the line, so to speak. Can anyone confirm or correct that

Calgary..wow, let's reunite all the players who used to be good, aka Aucoin, Nolan, and Recchi.

I predict triple heart attack during a game by mid march.

Hang 'em up boys, its that time..

Confirmed.

When you make a successful claim for a player from waivers, you move to the end of the pecking order...

It only makes sense, or else you'd have Pheonix snagging every player that goes through waivers and being able to, moreover, "veto", in a way, if another team wanted a player.

Evidently Calgary didn't put a claim on him.

The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward Mark Recchi on waivers Tuesday and he cleared on Wednesday morning.

Redwings.com poll question of the day is along the lines of "Would you like to see the Wings sign veteran Mark Recchi?"

Not sure if that means they're in talks or not, but I can't say I wouldn't like it :)

Recchi was given more than ample opportunity to perform this year. He was on the top line and top PP for a couple months and did nothing. Unlike Roberts, when Recchi isn't scoring he brings nothing to the table.

This morning I read this:

"Mark Recchi cleared waivers and the Pens will likely try and bring him back through re-entry."

So what do the Pens gain in doing something like this? Can they pay him less by sending him down and back up and/or save cap room or something?

Someone can claim him for 1/2 price on the way back up. I'm sure the pens would rather pay 1/2 his salary for the rest of the contract, than pay a full salary to have him ride the pine or play AHL hockey

Just saw on the NHL fantasy site that he was assigned to Wilkes-Barre of the AHL. Didn't see that posted anywhere.

From the site.

Recchi, a career 510-goal scorer who was waived by the Penguins earlier this week, was assigned Thursday to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL. It is uncertain whether Recchi must report to the Penguins' top farm club. Recchi has not played in the minors since 1990

yeah they sent him down. its on nhl.com

[mack 44]

People are shocked by this? This is what you do to players who aren't good.

Now on re-entry waivers.

He's a Thrasher now.

Another person (minus Hossa) for Kovalchuk not to pass to.

You make it sound like Ilya should pass.

I saw the game, and I thought he played pretty well. Could just be one of those things where a guy goes to a new team, has one great game, and is never seen again for the rest of the season.

I watched zero of his first Atlanta game but I was just about every Pittsburgh game he played, I wonder what caused it. He showed zero heart so far this year, he just kinda coasted around in the zone. Unless he was in the right place at the right time twice.

At the end of the day...they don't ask "how" they ask "how many?"

Guess that personality conflict never quite did get resolved. Rex is going to put up good numbers in Atlanta as long as he gets PP time with Hossa and Kovalchuk. Hell, I think I could put up PP numbers with those two.

Part of being a good player is knowing where the right place is and getting there.

Give him a week. His hands will go to stone again.
