Yes.  And he's already under contract in Rochester, so what's going on here?

I guess they're calling him up? 

With some of the transactions lately it feels like they're part of something bigger, a trade perhaps?

Or could it be the bug that has laid a few players low the last couple weeks?

Guy we got for Justin Bailey - good minor leaguer with minimal NHL upside.

Id bet this in preparation for selling off guys like Sheary, Vesey and Frolik. Will need some warm bodies.

Could be but Sheary and Vesey are playing as well right now as they have all year

That's one interpretation. If that's the case it means we're not getting bodies back.... or at least not NHL-ready bodies.

Which is why JBott may sell.  It could be that they need to move several players as pieces of a deal for a 2C.

He’s on NHL Waivers today.

I wonder if this to make him a RFA 

So maybe it's a non-hockey, business transaction?

I think any nonELC NHL contract at this point of the season has to clear waivers no?

Isnt this how Calgary nearly lost ROR had the Avs not matched?

Here is what I found from the CBA

For 20 year old players, playing in 1 professional game will count as the first year of their exemption. 25 year old players who play 1 professional game will only be exempt for the rest of that season.

Players who play in another league at the start of the NHL season have to go through waivers when signed by an NHL team.

Larsson missing from the morning skate, per Joe Yerdon on Twitter. Any chance these 2 events are connected?

Larsson would be a good acquisition for any team need a defensive center for a playoff run. He's good against Tavares, against McDavid, against Crosby. He can be playoff angry. And.... if coveted.... could get a good rental return.

I’ve always wanted to see Angry Larry in the playoffs. Of course, I’ve always wanted that to be in blue and gold.

Whoever gets him will get value. I hope Jason gets equal value in return.

Also, Risto/Larsson/futures for Cirelli/bad contract, anyone?

Yerdon posted, Hutton and Larsson maintenance days. Will be with team in Ottawa, Frolik still Ill.
