Sure is. Cleared waivers around Halloween making him exempt until the end of the month or 10 games...

Damn. You're good.

Forgot about that clause.

)

With Fehr returning soon there really isn't a need for either player in the lineup, but at least they could try to move Maxwell.

I sure hope they didn't waive Maxwell to save money.

I am hoping something bigger is in the works, but I doubt that too.

I imagine Fehr and Hainsey are getting activated, but not sure how that affects our roster limit.

Fehr's taking contact in practice now so he'll most likely be activated off of IR in the next couple days. Too bad to lose Maxwell for sure but there have been a surprising amount of claim and re-waive's so far this season, so there's still a chance the Jets may get him back.

Were they at the maximum # of contracts? Maybe they want to sign DeSantis (AHL only contract) to a 2-way

Aren't we going to need to bring someone up even if Fehr is not injured? Teams usually have more than one forward travelling with the team, don't they?

How are Maxwell's PK skills? Any good?

I don't think I've ever seen him on the PK. There were always better options available here in Winnipeg.

Oh ok. Well I assume then that he's not the best in PK. It's not like Ducks are running out of PK players but you could always have more (good) options.
