Pysyk signed now on waivers

So they signed him and sent him to the Wranglers?

Attempting to. I don't understand why he didn't sign with the AHL team

I don't understand the CBA stuff to make a very educated comment but if you want to attach some strings to the conspiracy board...

Are they getting a guy on a 2 way contract to prepare for a trade of an RD?

What are the implications of calling him up if he were signed to a 1 way AHL contract?

He was already on an AHL contract with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.



You need an NHL contract to play for an NHL team, so they wouldn't have been able to call him up. A 2-way NHL contract gives players different salary depending on which league they're playing in.

This signing gives the Flames more depth, especially if they don't get roster players back after trading Hanifin and Tanev.

Makes me wonder if a trade is imminent or if they expect to get a Tanev trade done before the roster freeze. Could also be Hanifin to BOS I guess since they won't be giving back an NHL defender.
