I am hoping Homer locked Hextall out of the room when he did that deal.

again, MacDonald waived. Hextall said Mac's reaction was "shock."

The worst part of that trade is after it happened everyone knew the monster extension was coming so they could outbid themselves so they didn't have to deal with the free agent market.

Someone explains what this means. I mean, nobody is going to claim MacDonald on waivers. Then what happens?

Flyers save about $1 million against the cap, assuming some team isn't dumb, Mac will have to play in the AHL

According to Seravalli on Twitter, Flyers will carry $4.05M in dead space if MacDonald is sent to AHL. His $ would be more than the entire Phantoms' team salary combined.

I believe, without looking this up, that it was about 900K saved against the cap.

There's also the possibility that they don't send him to the minors at all, like Chicago did with Bickell

They have to get the roster down another guy though. Laughton made it. Mac did not. Mac's definitely gone.

wonder if this is just to get roster compliant since they know nobody will claim him and they fear they'd lose manning. not sure it makes much sense to waive him otherwise. that's $4m in dead money per year for the next 5 years. probably better to run him out for half a season and hope someone gets suckered into trading for him after they lose a few dmen.

First read that as Hextall said Mac's extension was "shock"

Whoa. What a horrible trade and extension. I actually didn't mind it at the time. Whoops.
