Lindstrom...towering over Zach., bout the same height as Guddy
Whinier agentSaw that Mateychuk got sent down to AHL, but how did the Jiricek vs Mateychuk duel look like in general during the camp? Did Jiricek earn the role on ice or was it more of a pro experience/player relations decision?

There could be more moves coming over the next two days, but by 2 p.m. on Sunday, Waddell will know if the waiver wire is going to bear fruit. That’s the last day for clubs around the league to put players on waivers and get them cleared (or claimed) before Monday’s deadline.
Waddell has been talking to his fellow GMs throughout training camp in his search for an NHL forward, but that’s gone into hyperdrive the last few days. He’s not in the best position to make a trade, obviously, but there’s some poker play involved here, too.
The trade talks have presented some intriguing names, Waddell said, but he’s not sure he wants to part with any significant future commodities (think draft picks) to secure a player, especially if that player could become available on the waiver wire later Sunday.
Waivers today:
VAN: Brannstrom
NYR: Robertson
NYI: Skarek, Hogberg, Hutton, Bolduc, Karlstrom, Foudy, Fasching, Engvall
OTT: Jenik, Gaudette
VGK: Rondbjerg, Laczynski, Aston-Reese

STL: Tucker, Schueneman
BUF: Reimer, Rousek, Clague
PIT: Imama, AHo
BOS: Patera, Bussi, Sweezey, Viel, Brown
CGY: Schwindt, Cooley, Pelletier
DET: Holl, Lagesson, Rafferty, Snively, Dries
WSH: Shepard
EDM: Lavoie, Caggiula, J Brown, Rodrigue
WPG: Anderson-Dolan
NSH: Del Gaizo
NJD: White, Foote, DeSimone, Bowers
CHI: Phillips
CAR: Suzuki, Smith, Josiah Slavin
UTA: Villalta
LAK: Studnicka, Copley, Fagemo
TBL: Ylonen, Santini, Goncalves
So, Porty reported that the waiver wire could be revealing w/r/t any next moves by Waddell, in the sense that some of his targets might end up on it otherwise so he'd just have to put in a claim:
Well, now we have the complete list:
Any names stand out to anyone? The ones that first caught my eye (but are still kind of meh, as befits the waiver wire) were Ryan Suzuki (CAR), Jakob Pelletier (CGY), and Jaret Anderson-Dolan (WPG). But there's so many I'm probably overlooking some folks.
EDIT: For example, we could bring back Liam Foudy if we really wanted to.
EDIT 2: I think I looked right past Edmonton somehow. Lavoie and Caggiula might be interesting for completely different reasons.
