Claimed off Waivers: [EDM] Oilers claim Raphael Lavoie off waivers from the Golden Knights

[McShogun99]

Is there a way to know if this team put in a claim when Lavoie was first put in waivers and was beaten out by Vegas?

Vegas was below those teams so they couldn't have put in a claim the first go around. Probably gamesmanship from another team to try and mess with the Oilers cap.

Oilers have almost no young players so I'm happy he's back. But I also feel for him. Would've been happy to see him in the NHL to be honest.

Can't wait for the posts about how terrible Vegas' asset management is.

That's totally to mess with them haha

Good stuff

The hate for Stan Bowman and the Oilers is strong.

They're forced to keep him in the NHL now since another team put in a claim for him.

From my understanding they could have put a claim on him but they would have been beaten out by Vegas due to the standings.

From waiver fodder to being forced to play in the NHL, what a ride for Lavoie

Colorado or Carolina are the most likely bets, IMO. Canucks don't have the cap space without a corresponding move of their own.

Canucks sent Friedman to the AHL today, they had room for this.

I hope he likes popcorn. I actually feel sorry for him.
