There are a variety of notable names on this list, starting with the curious case of Jonsson-Fjallby. After being picked up on waivers from Washington earlier in the week, he finds himself on waivers again today after not playing in a single preseason contest for Buffalo. If Washington re-claims him, he can be immediately assigned to AHL Hershey.
The most surprising and NHL-ready name on this list is undoubtedly Vancouver’s Hamonic. With a cap hit of $3MM, it’s extremely unlikely he gets claimed, but could still be an intriguing option for a rebuilding team that needs defensive depth.
Other than that, there’s a rather intriguing group of younger, promising forwards that could be worth looks for teams like Buffalo, Arizona, Ottawa, Detroit, and others. Brooks, Barre-Boulet, Wagner, and Stenlund all fit the bill as names that carry moderate upside.
Any Vancouver fans out here? Just curious, what’s the reason for Hamonic making this list? I recall him being a capable 2nd pair guy once. Has his game slipped that much?
He isnt vaccinated yet for personal reasons
I know he wants to get moved to an American based team due to his vax status. Ironic considering he wanted to leave the Isles to play in western Canada years ago.
Thanks. That explains it.
Seems like Barre-Boulet and maybe Stenlund could get claimed. Hamonic makes a lot for a late waiver claim.
Barre-Boulet is a bit of a shocker. Reminds me of when Yanni Gourde was put on waivers by the Bolts. Alot of teams regret not claiming him back then.
I’m sure barre boulet gets claimed
Alex nylander not on waivers?
As it turns out, due to his being injured last season, his waiver-exempt status was moved to this season instead. As a result, he was sent down to Rockford today.
Rejoice.
Also Buffalo should take Ingram he has pretty good number in the ahl
Buffalo should probably claim about 5 or 6 of these guys to help them.
Taro Hirose should get claimed too…
Yeah he’s good too
How is waiver order determined this year? Usually it is reverse standings from the prior year, but where does that put Seattle?
I know it Exhibition but Di Guiseppe looked like he made team. wonder If guy the got from Florida bumped him. Someone should pick him up. Brooks just can’t catch a break in toronto could help other teams. mcdonald looked like good 5-6 defensemen for colorado when they had injuries.Subban will never be a number one but better then so of backups on teams now. Wonder if bottom teams arizona or buffalo even pickup anyone. They are not playing for to win this year
