Description

Just something I wanted to try for fun. I am going to include guys that are injured but considered to be good assets by nature of being acquired through waivers (Byron) too. This is not just players who were claimed, but ones that are doing a good to great job at either breaking out/carving out a role or stepping up in place of injuries. Bastian was sort of cheating since they knew what they were getting lol! But I think NJD fans like him.

Stand outs for me are Florida turning Forsling into a good D-man and Mahura looking good this year too. Of course Montreal hitting on Byron and Pitlick being a good bottom 6 guy too. Ottawa with some good goalie work too. Flyers fans have liked Sedlak's game so far.

Honorable mentions: Brett Leason, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, Dryden Hunt, Patrick Brown

I was surprised when Givani Smith passed through waivers. He's a 4th line plug but he's young, strong, hits, fights and sticks up for his teammate's. Plus he has a cheap contract.

I really thought Tampa would take him or Toronto. Didn't Tampa take him once before or am I remembering wrong?

With all the Red Wings injuries up front, Givani will be sticking in the NHL for now. He was picked right before the Flyers drafted Carter Hart.

Yeah briefly. I remember hearing both brothers saying they had no interest living together. LOL

I don't know if there's a waiver claim who lasted as long as Byron with their new team. He's been with Montréal since 2015.

Pretty remarkable even if he's been struggling to stay healthy recently.

I would add Bellows to this list, but needs some time.

Forsberg has turned into one of the best waiver claims I can think of. Best goalie Ottawa's had since Craig Anderson.

Still don't get why the Jets waived Kovacevic, they still have Capobianco on the main roster FFS!

If there's one thing Maurice can do is get decent mileage out of depth dmen so if Florida claims some dmen Maurice should be able to get the most out of them.
