He'll receive that amount of money whether he plays in the NHL or AHL. Players on one-way deals typically remain on the NHL level.

I think his second goal (plus one assist) tonight moves him past Lafleur.

Murray was sent down today.  There are now more players from Yale and Princeton in the NHL.  Won't last too long though.

Yeah.  Parros is with the Avalanche now - was picked up off waivers last week.

According to this article, he's being sent down to get him in better shape.

I wouldn't take the term so literally. Conditioning assignment just means being sent down, for a temporary, but perhaps indefinite amount of time, while still being paid at an NHL rate. This may exempt him from needing to clear waivers, I'm honestly not sure.

NHL CBA:
13.8. Conditioning Assignment. Unless a player consents, he shall not be sent to a minor league club for conditioning reasons. Nor shall such conditioning extend for more than 14 consecutive days without the player's consent. The player shall continue, during such period or mutually agreed to extension of such period, to receive the same salary, and be entitled to the same benefits, that he would have received had he continued to play with the Club.

Ahh ok, that makes sense.  It's a way to circumvent puting him on waivers?  I guess that's a good sign that they don't want to risk losing him.  And perhaps they want him to get more playing time than he would have as the 7th/8th dman.

Yes.  Players who are sent to a minor-league team on a conditioning assignment need not be placed on waivers when getting sent back to the minor leagues or returned to the NHL.

No way does Murray pass through waivers so this move makes a lot of sense.  A team like Washington or Columbus would definitely put a claim in.
