After all of the players from yesterday cleared, there is a new batch of talent on waivers today. Placement here is usually indicative of a training camp cut, though not necessarily. It gives teams the option to send a player to the minor leagues, but that doesn’t have to happen right away. Until a player spends 30 days on the active roster or plays in ten regular season games, they won’t have to clear waivers again.
Here are the players on waivers today:
Boston Bruins
Oskar Steen
Nick Wolff
Connor Carrick
Buffalo Sabres
Chicago Blackhawks
Luke Philp
Nicolas Beaudin
Dylan Sikura
Brett Seney
Columbus Blue Jackets
Minnesota Wild
Montreal Canadiens
Alex Belzile
Anthony Richard
Mitchell Stephens
New Jersey Devils
Tyler Wotherspoon
Robbie Russo
Joseph Gambardella
Jeremy Groleau
Pittsburgh Penguins
Vancouver Canucks
Collin Delia
John Stevens
Noah Juulsen
Brady Keeper
Guillaume Brisebois
Cueing UncleMike1525 to comment on Stan Bowman’s 2018 first round pick ending up on waivers four years later. He will say it was a bad pick. He may be right. I will tell you that a whole batch of young Blackhawks drafted around that time had their development sacrificed in a misguided attempt keep the team competitive. Adam Boqvist, Henri Jokiharju, and Nicolas Beaudin are just the most obvious examples. All of those guys were thrown into the NHL way to early and their development suffered as a result.
The Hawks also gave away Danault. Bowman was toxic for the Hawks.
Remember Bowman pushed Tallon under bus. Happily took all credit for cups
