Hence, they'd have to pass through waivers to be sent down to WBS. Now, during the waiver draft, to claim a player you must also unprotect one of your own players. This is different from the regular waivers, where any team can claim any player without giving up anything but the waiver fee. This means teams are more reluctant to claim guys, since they run the risk of losing one of their own players. However, if a player was to pass through the waiver draft *unclaimed*, he would also count as having passed regular waivers -- and then be allowed to be sent down immidiately. This was most definitely Patrick's reasoning for Meloche and TK -- he said as much yesterday -- and probably also for Berry; ie. management wanted them playing in the minors, and this was the best chance of getting them there. The only other option would be to keep them on the big team for the entire season. Also, if Washington ever wants to send Berry down, they must put him through waivers, where the Pens have the option of claiming him back -- and would then, as the original owning team, be free to send him down to THEIR minor club without putting him on waivers (NHL CBA, article 13.20, I believe). Personally, I think this whole Rick Berry issue has been totally blown out of proportion. It's not like he's the second coming of Ray Bourque or even Scott Stevens. He's a borderline NHL:er who probably would've played out most of the season in the minors anyway (seeing as how Penguins management weren't too high on him after camp). While I can't say I feel content to lose one asset of the Kasparaitis trade already, the reasoning behind this move is sound, and all you Pittsburgh/Mario/CP-bashers are really making a chicken out of a feather here. __________________________________________________________________ Mikael Hedberg mhedberg@chello.se "It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near one." ---J.R.R.
