I could be wrong but I believe if he is traded, he can go straight to that team's NHL club without having to clear waivers. He would have to clear re-entry waivers to play with the Senators though, and if he were claimed, we'd be on the hook for half his remaining salary and the claiming team paying the other half.
From what I recall with the Bulin in Chicago I think if he is assigned to the AH then he needs to clear re-entry. In this case Gerber has not yet been assigned.
I wonder if there is a timeframe. Gerber is in limbo right now, not having an assignment. I wonder what, if any, the time limit is on that. Surely there has to be one.
