note that some players scored while on PP or on top 2 lines similiar to last year ...ie Torres majority of goals scored while on 2nd line first 15 gms I don't think you need to waive guys for conditioning assignments. And there is no reason to waive him to activate him as he's been on the roster since we signed him as a free agent. This is a legitimate waiving, as in they are trying to get him to the farm full time or something? I dunno...it's weird. When a free agent signs(wasnt on team the year before) and then isnt able to play due to injury .... technically his cap hit isnt charged to the roster( I do know that capgeek has had his cap hit on the books-but I beleive that is incorrect) so maybe this is the way to actually get him on the roster(ie after condtioning stint) Our d-men have stepped up to fill the void of Ehrhoff spot, and he is not justifying his label as an elite PP quarterback in Buffalo so far. IMO he was living off of the Sedins. Glass was injured when it mattered most and we have had Hodgson emerge, along with good contribution from guys who can play hockey a bit better like Weise. Torres was a great hitter and good on the boards with the puck, but if he was an outcast he is better off leaving. Shirokov has done nothing as a pro in the AHL
