I'm still somewhat unsure about NHL contract stuff, which is why I added the question mark.
I was pretty much looking for confirmation.
Waivers have nothing to do with 1-way or 2-way contracts. Prosser is not exempt from waivers on account of 3 years served. Even without the years factor, he would have been within 4 games played of losing eligibility on that front. He has a chance of clearing waivers if sent down out of camp, but would be a question mark later in the season as injuries strike other teams. I would be surprised if a team were to claim him without having sustained injury, but it's always possible.
My facepalm comment was because, between TaLoN and myself (at least I'm fairly certain he's the other one tackling that) we've corrected the 1-way/2-way issue probably about 6 times in the past month alone.

Ah, alright. Whether or not a player has to pass through waivers is determined by games played (?) - not contract status.
It's age in the year the contract was signed, games played, and years from the time the contract was signed. Basically the rule of thumb is use CapGeeks' Waiver Calculator.
Awesome that we made his shortlist, he did play his college hockey in Wisconsin, so maybe we have a better shot than expected. Also, it's likely that we have room for him on our defense, and I'm sure he knows that. I doubt he'll sign with us, but it's kind of cool anyway.
canucks fans seem a little more on edge too. Really wish someone hadn't said the "r" word in conjunction with Edmonton. Now we have to sit through another year of them talking about how we all think we're rival when they think we're completely irrelevant. etc etc on and on. Don't ever say "rival". Winnipeg actually wants one to start up with us so with them it's okay, but just don't even think it in the direction of edmonton or Vancouver fans.
The more you know...

That has to help.

Yeah we're probably the only team in the league where he could step in and not just get a guaranteed roster spot, but probably be a #1.
“@UWChuckSchwartz: Believe it or not, I couldn't reach Justin Schultz's agent on first call today. Shocking, I know. What else does he have going on? #sarcasm”
"@MNState0fHockey: @UWChuckSchwartz Think the Wild have any realistic shot at getting him?"
Schultz signing elsewhere is a given, a no brainer, a done deal. And you have ansgt about that?
