Both those sites say the Leafs claimed Mermis off waivers on Jan 3rd and then sent him to the AHL Marlies
How does that work? Conditioning? Or they can do it because that was where he was going when they originally waived him and Utah picked him up? I'm not sure how they're doing that.

If the original team that placed him on waivers reclaims a player in the same season and no one else submits a claim, they can send him down to the AHL without requiring waivers.

Knies just had a $2m weekend. That hatty earned him an extra $250k x 8 in the negotiations.....


......just like Willy had when the franchise was reportedly capping his pay at $10m x 8.

Willy's ask was always Pasta money. Leafs either paid or moved on.

He's in the AHL because he cleared waivers the second time and only the Leafs made a claim so they were allowed to move forward with his demotion to the AHL. If the Leafs wanted to have him on the NHL roster they just had to be the first waiver priority to claim him but they needed all 30 teams to not claim him to put him in the AHL.

So he's depth for the depth. Marlies have 8 dmen with NHL contracts on top of the 8 dmen on the NHL roster (or LTIR/IR).
Out of those 16, we're having trouble finding 6 we like in the NHL lineup.
