Canucks just picked up Tom Sestito off waivers Im pretty sure he got pumped by Kassian in a fight when Kas was on the sabres not a big fan on this pick up...

Why waive Volpatti if they're just going to pick up Sestito?

And they recalled Ebbett.

not necessarily a bad pick up. sestito can hit, fight, and maybe even score goals. he scored 40 goals in the OHL, and i'm sure he got picked up because volpatti is gone.

LOL only thing I remember about Sestito. Oh and he got dummied by Kassian a while ago too.

Nabatron 03-01-2013 09:00 AM

Still would rather keep Volpatti thats for sure! Sestito is just big and dumb just another meat head...

Not really racist! 03-01-2013 09:03 AM

Sestito is bigger, and taller...

4 career NHL goals, one against Schnoo, one against Lu... lol

sneaky MG, I guess he sees more offensive upside than Volpatti

Well, they didn't specifically waive Volpatti - they wanted to move him to the farm, which required clearing waivers. It's kind of a no-win if you need to open a roster spot - you either keep him in the bigs and don't free that spot for someone else, or you risk him being claimed.

Flames should be lucky O'Reilly's offer was matched

becuz he played in the K, would have to clear waivers.

That was a crazy fxxking offer. ROR is good, but not THAT good.....
Sekeres and Price said something funny today.

Imagine if Colorado matched the offer, then used the buyout option on him. That would be a first!
:lol

UFO 03-01-2013 09:39 AM

Obvs the Flames understand that 6.5M is not what ROR is worth, even next year, but they had to find a way to make the contract toxic enough to discourage Colorado from matching (after this contract ends, ROR's qualifying offer for next contract would be 6M), like how Philly structured Weber's offer sheet as 26M guaranteed salary in the first 12 months to screw the Preds. Or maybe the Flames didn't understand that based on this:

Quote:

If Avs didn't match for O'Reilly, he would go on waivers
According to the Kontinental Hockey League's website, O'Reilly - who was unsigned until Thursday night - played for Metallurg Magnitogorsk on Jan. 21 and Jan. 23 (written in the game sheets as 'Rayan O Rayli'). And as NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told TSN on Friday, O'Reilly would have had to clear waivers to join the Flames if he actually played in the KHL after the start of the NHL season on Jan. 19.

The NHL's collective bargaining agreement stipulates that any player who plays in Europe after start of NHL regular season needs to clear waivers to play in the same season in the NHL.
theoretical tl;dr - Flames sign ROR, Av's don't match, Flames give up 1st and 3rd to Av's, ROR gets claimed off waivers before joining Flames. I wish the Av's let ROR go and enjoy the show that happens after lol

7seven 03-01-2013 09:43 AM

Too bad Avs matched, would've been hilarious to see Flames lose a 1st and 3rd round pick to Colorado, then O'Reilly to Columbus on waivers and the Flames be left with nothing haha. Feaster would have been fired haha
