Waivers: 7 Players

[ECFHL Commissioner]

I deleted the old waiver thread because there was a problem with Carolina's lines and the three players were put on waivers on accident. It was a problem on my end after reviewing everything, his lines weren't completely downloaded and an old file was used.

Francois Bouillon will remain on waivers from Nashville Predators until 1pm EST. tomorrow. Currently, the Los Angeles Kings and Florida Panthers have filed a claim for him.

The Following Players were placed on waivers tonight:
Casey Borer, Carolina Hurricanes
Mike Modano & Denis Grebeshkov, Toronto Maple Leafs
Radek Dvorak, Winnipeg Jets
Matt Cooke & Deryk Engelland, Pittsburgh Penguins.

These six players will remain on waivers for 24 hours. You can file claims by email or by replying to this thread.

Waiver priority is determined by the reverse order of our standings, with teams who have already claimed a player going to the end of the list regardless of record. A list of those teams can be found on the waiver link: www.ecfhl.net/waivers.html

HA! too late! Missed it by an hour. BTW, nice of you to come out of the woodwork. I thought you were going to be active. You haven't answered a single email yet.

[ECFHL Commissioner]

Francois Bouillon was claimed by the Los Angeles Kings. Florida had also sent in a claim.

Matt Cooke was claimed by the Colorado Avalanche. The New York Islanders sent in a claim passed the 24 hour deadline.

Denis Grebeshkov was claimed by the Florida Panthers.

Radek Dvorak has cleared waivers as Toronto's claim was invalid since they have already claimed the maximum two players for this season.

The max 2 player rule doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not asking for a change now but it's something that should be reviewed in the offseason.

No rule exists like this in the NHL and it's not like I was taking a player away from someone else in the league who had claimed him.

I tend to agree. I don't want to see any rule changed during the season, but we can probably add this to the discussion along with the penalties/shots on goal complaints.

agreed - not a big fan of this rule either.
