no they don't need to clear waivers every time...however, I believe the limit on a call up is 10 games or 30 days...

if there's anyone out there who can wade through all the lawyer-speak contained in the cba and verify this, it would be greatly appreciated

Cap friendly does it for us:

A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers, and has not played in 10 or more NHL games. CBA Reference 13.2(b)

Have fun tracking that!

It was surprising to see him alternating at 2RW with Thompson last practice. Was left feeling one would be sent down. Wilson's injury changes things a bit. I still struggle with the idea of playing Thompson or Nylander on a line that's going to see heavy defensive minutes. Curious to see their new practice lines.
- Lunaion

I could definitely see them picking one. Especially if Wilson's absence is temporary.

I just can't see Nylander being the pine warmer when he can be sent down and play top6 minutes.

Right, if either aren't in the top 9, send them down.

Nylander, Guhle and Hickey sent down

Hmm, wonder if they made any waiver claims today.

We've assigned Brendan Guhle, Brandon Hickey and Alexander Nylander to @AmerksHockey.

He's not and really doesn't have to be, since they hold his rights for a few more years.
- Lunaion

He isn’t free to sign an NHL deal with any team?
I thought he was since we didn’t sign him?

I’m guessing with Nylander & Guhle specifically...
this means some of the injuries really are “day to day” and a couple guys are expected back

Nope, they hold his rights for 2 more years.

Not supprised by any of these...

I think it also means they liked Thompson more than Nylander. Don't understand that decision.

I thought Nylander made it. Otherwise, totally.

I must be counting wrong. Wilson out 8-10 weeks after ankle surgery...

The preseason is so pointless. Nylander couldn't have done more to make the team, but ya gotta make room for 22 and 28!

God forbid we ice a young and exciting team

Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Sobotka-Mittelstadt-Okposo
Sheary-Berglund-Thompson
Girgensons-Erod-Pominville
Larsson

Scandella-Risto
McCabe-Dahlin
Beaulieu-Nelson
Bogo

Hutton
Ullmark

So unless they brought Tennyson back up we only have 22 spots as of now.

They never sent him down. I think Larsson is hurt and they claimed a forward.

The Botterill way.

Like the trades thus far, don't like the roster moves.

Matt Ellis or one of the Varones perhaps?

Not surprised. Just disappointed. I thought a week ago that Nylander and Thompson may be fighting for a single spot. GMs and coaches hate risk.

What's the most boring decision we could make?

Larsson, Girgensons and Tennyson

I hate to predict this, but it's JB, so I'm calling Tom Kuhnhackl. Prefer Remi Elie or Darren Archibald.
