Business decisions are made every single day in the world of sports, no general manager evades making tough roster decisions. Yesterday, Anaheim Ducks general manager Bob Murray made a decision that yielded the result he was hoping to avoid.
Murray placed Chris Wagner on waivers and the Colorado Avalanche swooped in to make a claim.
First things first, why did Murray have to place Wagner on waivers?
If you go back to earlier this season, Wagner was placed on waivers due to his signing age and other reasons that are further explained in the NHL’s collective bargaining agreement.
