Nah. Coghlan is very much a pretty conservative "defence first" guy who just happens to be a pretty good skater.
He's not like a complete stud, lockdown shutdown defenceman per se...but nobody on waivers is.

I'd probably give Gustav Lindstrom a try. Though it's concerning that he's now backed his way out of a second team's defence in as many years. There was a point not too long ago where it looked like he had Top-4 defensive D upside. Defensive-oriented RHD with size, gets around the ice well. I'm still a bit of a believer...but then, i also would've kept Wolanin on the roster. So... 
Not even sure they're approaching this with the flexibility to make a claim. They've kinda tailored what they have with "paper" transactions to a specific cap figure or some presumably deliberate reason.

If Coghlan can't hack-it then you do qualify him and you've lost nothing. Same as a Ludvig. There's noone else on the right side, in the organization, worth trying. They're staring down the realistic option of playing Myers in a top-4 role again...

Most Carolina fans say he can move the puck but can’t defend.
I've read that as well. Like I said, I'm just willing to try anyone else for a bit. The odds of getting value off a waiver claim is quite low anyway.

Lindstrom, Coghlan, Ludvig...they've gotta do something. Unless they've got a trade brewing to address it more convincingly...you have to at least make an attempt at resolving this issue. You can't be serious about the season and getting off to a desperately needed good start, only to trot out Juulsen or a rookie UDFA with next to no Pro experience as the only thing standing between Myers playing big minutes, and a Hughes-Hronek pairing that makes no sense and doesn't get the most out of either of them.
Worst thing that happens with a waiver claim is...you end up having to waive the guy yourself. Hope he's pulled back by the original team.
Ya, exactly. Juulsen really doesn’t seem like an NHL player and we shouldn’t be worried about waiving him to try someone else.
Dream scenario is we pick up Ludvig and we trade Hoglander for Pachal.
Hughes-Pachal
Cole-Hronek
Ludvig-Myers
To start the season.

It is 2023 and our dream scenario is plugging 1/3 of our defence with #7 dmen. I find this both hilarious and depressing.
