What is the waiver wire in the NHL about
It's that time of year again, when NHL general managers lose massive amounts of sleep, down the caffeine in unhealthy doses and gab on the phone more than a teenage girl. The NHL trade deadline is quickly approaching and before you know it the dust will settle Wednesday with old faces in new places.
The trade deadline is as close to Christmas in spring as it's going to get in the NHL and the ramifications trickle all the way down to the Fantasy Hockey world.
For instance,cheap nhl jerseys, just two weeks ago Mathieu Schneider was toiling in Atlanta and his once notable must-start Fantasy status was a distant memory. Montreal rescued the veteran defenseman and acquired him at a discount price. The result: his ownership is creeping back up toward Fantasy immortality going, from 55 percent to 83.

In mere hours of Chris Kunitz being dealt to Anaheim to Pittsburgh Thursday, his ownership nearly went up 10 percent. The thought of playing on the left wing with Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby was just too good to pass up.
"I think Kunitz is going to jump right in and be a top six guy for us,cheap nhl jerseys," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said. "So I think it's a good message that here is a guy that's not only here for this year but moving forward. So Kunitz is going to help us right away in our top six and like I said,cheap nhl jerseys, I like the way he plays the game. He's been a leader and he'll jump right into our group here and help out."
Chris Campoli is another player who has seen a spike in his Fantasy value after being traded from the Islanders to the Senators. Interim coach Cory Clouston was giddy the second Ottawa traded for the puck-moving defenseman and felt the four-year vet could be an impact player.
Clouston hasn't been proven wrong. Campoli has four assists in his first three games with the Senators and logged nearly 10 minutes of power-play time in his debut against the Canadiens Feb. 21,cheap nhl jerseys. Campoli has gone from 7 percent Fantasy ownership to 36 in mere weeks and that number could continue to rise.
The list of players linked in trade rumors is extensive. Mostly players with expiring contracts will be on the move, but some teams have put up the white flag and are willing to move large contracts for the right price.
Here are some names that have been mentioned heavily in trade rumors and worth keeping tabs on in Fantasy: Ryan Smyth, Olli Jokinen, Keith Tkachuk, Nik Antropov, Ron Hainsey, Niclas Havelid, Chris Pronger, Scott Niedermayer, Erik Cole, Chris Neil, Filip Kuba, Tim Connolly, Alexei Kovalev, Ian Laperriere, Jeff Halpern, Pavel Kubina and Tomas Kaberle.
It's pretty obvious a trade can change the Fantasy perception of any player, whether it's good or bad. As we watch the mad dash toward the March 4 deadline, be prepared to make your own Fantasy transactions when the dust settles.
Ever wondered how the waiver rules work? Here's a basic explanation:
Any player who has played three seasons since signing his first NHL contract or has played 180 NHL games must clear waivers before he is assigned to a minor league affiliate.
Once a player is placed on waivers, teams have 48 hours to put in a claim on that player. If more than one team places a claim, the team with the lower number of points in the previous season is awarded the player. If no team places a claim, the player can be sent to a minor league affiliate.
When a player clears waivers and is sent down then is called up again, he would not have to clear waivers to be sent down again unless he's played 10 games or been "up" for 30 days.
