Re: Zack Smith (Ott) Waived!?
Ummm....Z.Smith cleared waives and is on their AHL. They don't save any payroll really...he's still getting his full salary....But I guess you could argue they wanted someone to claim him, but they couldn't get a deal done via trade at all over the last yr without retaining salary, who would claim him for his full salary?
They save cap space, and put 1mill on their cap for a player that isn't there, so that's a bonus for a team hitting the floor. But they save no actual dollars with this move if I'm thinking the right thing.
I think this is a "you can't play a vet if he's on the AHL squad".
