So.. Vegas just reclaimed Lavoie and ASSIGNED him to AHL Henderson..
Waiver rules are so F'd up.
Apparently because no one else put in a claim for Lavoie (this time) .. Vegas can assign him to the AHL.. like they were the team "re-claiming" him..
Vegas Fks the league system again.
This is all you have to do to take a player off another team.. and then be able to him send him to your minor team.. or trade him;
-You claim a player on waivers. (now you CAN'T assign him to the AHL all year.. or trade him)
-You then waive him the next day.. and phone another GM buddy to also put in a claim.. BUT.. a GM on a team that won't be able to actually claim him because they are lower in the waiver selection order than the original team.. its a fake claim effort
-The original team then naturally re-claims their player.. but because of the fake claim .. the original team then has to put the player back on waivers before they can re-assign him to the minors..
-The team that just recently waived the player.. then RE-CLAIMS him.. like Vegas just did.. your GM buddy doesn't put in another claim (he never wanted him in the first place).. and you now have an AHL asset you DON'T have to keep on your NHL roster.. and can use to TRADE for somebody you really want.. that season.
Seems to me that the team that put in the fake claim needs to be investigated, or at least made public.. they are the ones that created the situation.. if they wanted the player a day ago.. why not now ? .. because they never wanted him.. If its another team in the Pacific then you could consider it a conspiracy by two teams to weaken another rival team..
The INTENT of the CBA rules in having to put your player back on waivers again.. IF there was another claim when you reclaimed him.. is that the EXPECTATION of the CBA agreement is that the team that put in the claim that TRIGGERED having to re-waive the player ..actually wanted him in the first place.. in this case it was a fake claim.. just used as a trigger for the benefit of another team.. or weaken a rival franchise for both involved.
The rule should be that if the team that triggered the requirement to re-waive the player doesn't claim the player the 2nd time.. then the original team keeps their player and doesn't have to waive him. The INTENT of the CBA rules from the NHLPA standpoint was that getting claimed on waivers were a means for an AHL player with value to play in the NHL. This totally circumvents the intent of the CBA.
It might be an issue for the NHLPA.. the waiver rules were intended to be there so a team that claims a player on waivers has to PLAY him in the NHL.. this is just a card shuffle.. the player is no better off.. back in the AHL..
Edmonton should get a 1st rounder from both teams in compensation for their collusion in circumventing the CBA

Was going to post something similar.
Clearly the spirit of the waiver rule is that if the Oilers want to send Lavoie to the minors, every other team should be able to claim him ONLY FOR THEIR NHL ROSTER. If no other team wants to put him on their NHL roster, he should be with the Oilers farm team (assuming they want him--which they clearly do in this case).
Something really rotten about the way this all went down.
