Good morning everyone and welcome to another week of Avalanche Mailbag. Over the last couple weeks I’ve received a handful of questions that all dealt with players being waiver exempt and/or entry-level contracts, so I decided to wrap those questions all together this week and give a rundown of why things are the way they are.
The waiver process and its various exemptions are among the more convoluted rules that fans find themselves up against while researching what their team might do, so I hope this breaks it down in an easy to understand way.
The tail end of the All-Star break is a perfect time to explore these sorts of subjects, as the team not playing means that we don’t have anything new to complain about, celebrate, or feel anxiety over.
