You can't trade waiver claimed players without first offering them to other teams that originally placed claims as well. There isnt a backdoor here.

I wasn't actually making team I was just showing the idea behind it..

Who said that you can't do that? What's the difference between a 3 way trade where the 2nd team just absorbs cap

Example VGK TOR CHI Lehner deal

They did.

'Players who are claimed off waivers must be offered to the other teams that placed an original claim before that player can be traded.

For example, if a player is placed on waivers and three team place a claim on him. The team lowest in the standards gets first dibs. If they then decide to trade the player, he would first have to be passed on by the other two teams. If a team places a claim, he’d be theirs. If not, he can be traded.'

Interesting but if you hang onto the player for a year you can then trade him correct?

If you hang on to him until the end of the season, sure.

Benson and Lagesson have more value individually than both those players combined. Easy no.

Why do we give Detroit free stuff?
