I am continuing to torture test the waivers system and have made a whole cottage industry out of grabbing guys up (anyone with 2.5 stars) and immediately stashing them in the AHL. I then hold a fire sale at the trade deadline, picking up 4ths and 3rds. At the draft, I can usually use those picks to trade up.

Two things I immediately noted:

1) If I claim a player from waivers, I must keep him on my NHL team for what I believe is 10 games (please double check that) before I can send him down;

2) If I want to trade him anytime in the same season, I am required to offer him back to his original team first.

The waivers system is really complex, but I hope this can be coded into a future update.
