Lindblom got waived, as you said, but you have him on the fourth line lol

Also, Emberson was decent but I really wouldn't lose any sleep over losing him to waivers. I'd rather lose him than Knyzhov.

Edit: I will add that Knyzov would have a better chance of clearing given his cap hit though.

That's so weird, I'm 100% sure I moved him down. Yeah, I waived Knyzhov because I feel he has the biggest chance of making it down. Sharks fans are really high in Knyzhov, but I don't think his ceiling is really any higher than a solid 3rd pairing guy.

I love the player he is right now which is a solid 2-way d-man who can play on any pairing. But I agree, I think this is his peak. He's a very strong utility d-man and nothing more.

I like Okhotiuk a lot but he could use some time in the minors. I'm annoyed at the Devils for signing him so young and making him waiver eligible lol

All in all, I think he has a bit higher of a ceiling than Knyzhov
