I don't think San Jose could take both, but if the Oilers match both offer sheets and only drop Broberg to San Jose then that isn't the end of the world.

According to this website the question was asked if you went to the bottom of the order once you selected a player off waivers.. the guys at ProHockey Rumors said no.. you keep the same order for all subsequent waiver players until teh order changes due to standings.. so in San Joses case they will be selecting first until the Nov. 1 regulars season standings are calculated..

Apparently there is nothing in the CBA about changing the waiver priority once you selected.. the waiver priority order remains until the standings change..

Quote:

MixtureBill: For waiver order, is it always based on reverse standings order, or are teams moved to the “end of the line” after making a claim? Would the last place team have priority on all waiver claims until the order is changed at the given date during the season, or once making a claim do they no longer have top priority? Nope. If a team remains in 32nd place for eternity, they have first dibs on players on waivers for eternity. That given date you mention is Nov. 1, by the way. So, for any players who get placed on waivers between now and November, the Sharks will still have priority, then the Blackhawks, then the Ducks, and so on.

Waiver priority was also discussed here.. same conclusion.. priority doesn't change once a team claims..

This is teh only section talking about waiver priority.. nothing regarding changing it once making a claim..
