What that means is that any of the other 30 teams in the NHL can claim a player who must clear waivers. Waivers in the NHL is a requirement that certain players must ‘clear waivers’ before being sent to the AHL. If the team, sends down the player on the two-way contract, it will save $630,000 (over the course of a full season) by paying the $70,000 AHL salary instead of the $700,000 salary. Impact: The impact is that a team can save some money by sending down to the AHL players on two-way contracts versus one-way contracts, so a team has financial incentive to keep players on one-way contracts at the NHL level over players on two-way contracts.Įxample: Let’s say a team has one roster spot left and must decide between a player with a one-way, $700,000 contract or a player with with two-way contract with an NHL salary of $700,000 and an AHL salary of $70,000. It just means that if he is sent to the AHL, he will still be paid his NHL salary. Important to note is that whether a player has a one-way or two-way contract has no impact on whether he can be sent to the AHL. Established NHL players have one-way contracts such that they get paid their full NHL salary even if sent to the AHL. For example, a player might earn $800,000 at the NHL level and $70,000 at the AHL level. All contracts for prospects that have yet to reach the NHL level are two-way. Two-way simply means that a player has a different salary at the AHL versus NHL level. Quick overview of key NHL rules One-way versus two-way contracts Today’s Daily Cup of Joe looks at some of those complexities that are coming into to play with the Hurricanes increasing depth that does not all fit on the NHL roster. One of the challenges of having a good system and successfully developing players is that eventually a team cannot use all of them at the NHL level and because of the NHL rules can be subject to losing some of those players for nothing in those situations. In addition, multiple ‘NHL hockey rules’ can have a significant impact on who stays at the NHL level.
First, NHL teams has some incentive to allocate NHL ice time with the aim of developing players, especially those with the potential to be difference-makers.
But the reality is that it does not work that way. In a simple world, the decision on which players win the last few NHL roster spots would be fair tryout. If you missed that article, you can find it HERE. Part 1 made an attempt to categorize the 23 Carolina Hurricanes players who fit roughly in this group. The Sharks no doubt were encouraged by his progress, but the opportunity came to acquire Erik Karlsson from the Ottawa Senators so Balcers was included in that trade.Today’s Daily Cup of Joe is part 2 of 2 looking at the Hurricanes depth that lies on the dividing line between the NHL and AHL. After a dominant season with the Kamloops Blazers, he joined the San Jose Barracuda of the AHL in 2017-18 and put up 48 points in 67 games. The Latvian played his draft and draft-plus-one seasons in Norway before coming to the WHL in 2016-17. The San Jose Sharks drafted Balcers back in 2015 in the fifth round, 142nd overall. Considering the poor play of Mikko Koskinen and age of Mike Smith, it seems like they will give Stalock a shot, and if he’s anywhere near as good as he was for the Wild last season, this will be a steal of an acquisition, especially because Stalock has one year after this season at $785,000. The Edmonton Oilers claimed Stalock, who crossed the border in early March and is serving the mandatory quarantine before he can join the club.
910 save percentage, and a 2.67 goals-against average.Īlex Stalock as a member of the Minnesota Wild ( Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers) He had a career resurgence in 2019-20 with a 20-11-4 record, a. Kahkonen’s play likely helped the Minnesota Wild feel better about waiving Stalock, though I’m sure they were hoping he would pass through unclaimed. His injury meant Kaapo Kahkonen got playing time alongside Cam Talbot. He was announced as out indefinitely back on Dec. Stalock has yet to play a game this season, so he might be a surprise on this list. They seem to have a legitimate chance at making the playoffs and Grosenick could be a key factor if either Quick or Petersen miss any extended period of time. The Kings are, perhaps surprisingly, fifth in the Honda West Division, both by total points and points percentage. It seems like a good move since Jonathan Quick recently suffered an upper-body injury and Cal Petersen is in the COVID-19 protocol. The Los Angeles Kings claimed Grosenick on Feb.
