NHL Waiver Activity

[Javs]

I wanted to start a thread for everyone to outline some unusual activity on the waiver wire by NHL AI teams.

It should be noted the game does not have real waiver rules, specifically having to 'reclear' waivers.

A player does not need to pass through waivers if the player has not been on the NHL active roster for a cumulative 30 days since last clearing waivers, OR has not played in 10 or more NHL games. CBA Reference 13.2(b) (Despite the CBA reference saying 30 days AND 10 games, the rule is actually 30 days OR 10 games)

Here is one example, Dallas places Tommy Young on waivers instead of sending down waiver exempt Greg Kord.

Note the Stars were not in a situation where they needed to send Young down for salary cap reasons.
