Ottawa claims Ryan Reaves

Washington claims defenceman, Doug Janik.

[Lee]

Philadelphia claims free agent Andrew Hutchinson

[armandtanzarian]

I apologize for this and if i am wrong correct me, but The Bruins would like to claim d-man Doug Janik. He is a waiver eligible player and based on the information available via CBS and Washington's team pages, the Capitals only have $107,393.00 in salary cap space, therefore making claiming Janik, an illegal roster move. I am desperate and had to do it. If I am wrong please correct me.

1. Can easily drop a waiver exempt player to make room

2. I was under the impression I had until the end of the this scoring period to rectify the situation. Seeing as how the players who put me close to the cap aren't technically on my team yet...

[Nick]

no... you must have room at the time of the claim.

[MSP4LYFE]

no... you must have room at the time of the claim.

If that is the case I can easily drop a waiver exempt player to make room.

[kyuss]

no... you must have room at the time of the claim.

"2-7 : Once a player is put on waivers, that player must be subject to waiver wire for twenty-four (24) hours. At which time any GM with required cap and roster space may sign."

mmh.. seems so.. but how can a GM placing a claim know whether or not his claim will be successful?
are we really forced to make cap AND roster room any time we place a claim?
for example, when i placed a claim on Lundmark i think i had the cap room, but not the roster room; i made room for him only once my claim was successful, i seem to remember there was a short window available afterwards, like 12 hrs.
Was that amended with the official CBA release?

Janik was an FA, not on waivers..

ahh, my bad.

however, with reference to that line of the CBA, my question still stands.. or maybe
"At which time any GM with required cap and roster space may sign"
means
"once those 24 hrs are passed the GM whose claim was successful has 12 hrs available to make the required cap and roster room to sign him" ?

[Scott]

You must make the roster space and cap room in the meantime.. no sense in making the claim if you cannot afford the player or have the roster spot..

may i make cap and roster room AFTER my claim turned out to be successful or not? this is the point....

Parenteau to minors (waiver exempt) boom, room made...

Mike, Mash, and myself are talking this issue over..

No, you must prior (FA claim) to or during the claims wait period (waivers)

No, you must prior (FA claim) to or during the claims wait period (waivers)

i.e. the 12 hrs period was removed, correct?
i can see the cap thing, but why the need to make room in the roster before getting the player?

its a post-hoc move to make room... time & sequencing matters..


but i guess its the first time?
