I’m sure another team needing a goalie with potential would give up a second rounder next year. If Bussi-Swayman Is our future then trade Kaiser now. My biggest fear? The scabs grab him off waivers. And worse, that he becomes a Bruins killer for them. Thoughts? Am I overreacting?

With your fake concern, you didn't even spell the goalies name correct, dumb troll.

I’m sure another team needing a goalie with potential would give up a second rounder next year. If Bussi-Swayman Is our future then trade Kaiser now. My biggest fear? The scabs grab him off waivers. And worse, that he becomes a Bruins killer for them. Thoughts? Am I overreacting? You're over-reacting. No one drafted this kid for three years. It's not like he's a former first rounder. He's had an OK career as an AHL tandem guy at best. He has never played an NHL game, and a team claiming him would have to keep him in the NHL. I don't think any team out there is so hard up for a goalie that they'll commit to Keyser in the NHL. The Scabs are highly unlikely to be interested. Scab media is constantly moaning that Montembeault screwed them in the Bedard sweepstakes because he was so good last year, and they have Cayden Primeau in Laval, who is beat out Keyser for the US WJHC starter role when they were batterymates. Nothing either has done since is likely to have made anyone change their minds. And in general, I find it funny how people process their concern over waivers. Mikey DiPietro was waived already. He was a third round pick, and while he's spent more time in the ECHL than Keyser, most of that was in a different organization. Why no concern for someone taking a flyer on a player who is the same age and was actually drafted? But more broadly speaking, why lose even a second of sleep over the team losing a player who is maybe the 4th or 5th best goalie in the organization? Who is unlikely to ever be your starter - even if everything went wrong, you would find someone else before you'd run with him as the starter. Jaro Halak is unsigned. Jon Gillies was once a real prospect and is now unsigned. Aaron Dell is on a PTO with the BJs - you could sign him at any time. Brian Elliott is still out there, even though he's declined pretty hard. And Hutch is still out there waiting to come home. Lots of options before you'd ever get to Kyle Keyser or Mikey DiPietro as an NHL option. I like having them as goalies who may yet mature into something a la the Cam Talbots and Adin Hills of the world, but no one is throwing them in the crease this weekend. At this time of year, there is a legit reason to be nervous about waivers. When you're a team that's close to making a run, so you have solid NHL players at all positions, but one or two young players who are NHL players but just can't crack a really good lineup (Zboril, for example), there's a real risk that you have to make a hard choice to either move an established player or try to sneak a kid with real potential through waivers. But when you're simply sending a guy down because he's waaaay down your depth chart? It's probably no big deal if you lose him. Your real prospects are waiver exempt for long enough that in most cases, if they're going to develop, they will have developed into NHLers by the time you're worried about losing them for nothing. And the last thing - Ottawa's been getting roasted for having to waive two former first round picks in Thompson and Bernard-Docker. On the one hand, it's the stuff about the GM "blocking" kids by signing depth veterans we read around here all the time (rather than the GM realizing the kids aren't going to cut it and going to plan B). On the other, there's a lot of talk about "trade him rather than lose him for nothing" which sounds like it's so obvious you'd have to have had a lobotomy not to think of it. What this ignores is that the team making the trade also has to commit to keeping him in the NHL or they will have the same risk of losing the player when they waive him to send him to the A. So give you an asset then lose him for nothing. And for almost all of these players, the teams who might be willing to make these trades are among the first on the list to take him on waivers, so why give up an asset. Your best bet would be to trade him to the team second on the waiver priority list because they're afraid the team that's first will take him. Rare that that's an option. Teams later on the waiver priority list might also be willing to make that trade if they want the player for their NHL rosters, so proven guys like a Patrick Brown are more likely to be taken than undrafted 24 yr olds with under 50 games of NHL experience. So teams take the risk every year with a raft of players, and almost no one is ever taken. |

that's hilarious on an extra level that I won't share here at this time. |
