A few off the top of my head that pique my interest
Gage Goncalves from the Lightning
Sam Malinski - Avs
Pavol Regenda - Anaheim

It’s more likely the Avs waive a LHD like Branstrom than a RHD like Malinski.
Good eye though. No chance Avs could slip Malinski thru waivers. None.
If Connor Brown gets waived, he’s gone. He’d be claimed in a second at his new AAV.

Probably means Josh Brown
Would have taken the author an added 1.83 seconds to type out.
50 Josh Brown types are waived every single season.

Pens bottom 6 is a logjam. If McGroarty was promised a roster spot to sign that is also going to push someone out.
Guys like Poulin and Puustinen will be first time waiver eligible who I think teams would take a chance on.
Guys who likely wouldn’t be claimed but might be due to low cap hits as depth are Puljujarvi and Bemstrom.
Less likely guys who could find themselves as the odd man out are Glass and Acciari.

Minor league veterans (nobody will claim):
F - Vinnie Hinsostroza, Anthony Angello, Kieffer Bellows, Jake Lucchini
D - Kevin Gravel, Nick Blankenburg
G - Matthew Murray
Younger possibilities:
Phil Tomasino - If he doesn't make a statement in training camp, then he might not make the team, the Preds have sent him back to the minors each of the last 2 seasons, and don't seem to be particularly enamored with him. Which is a shame, he certainly has NHL skills. They want him to work harder, grind more or something. Or they may hold onto him and try to trade him for a pick instead, since he'd obviously be a quick claim if they waived him. All assuming he even signs, of course.
Marc Del Gaizo - he looked decent in a cameo last season. It's possible he could stick with the Preds. He will basically be in a training camp battle with Spencer Stastney and perhaps Blankenburg. If he impresses, they may choose to use Stastney's waiver exempt status to send Stastney down instead and keep Del Gaizo as the spare on the big team. But I don't think they'll really be scared to waive Del Gaizo either, since it's quite unlikely he'd be claimed.

Buffalo
First time possible: Lucas Rousek
Some think James Reimer will be waived to make room for Levi. I think there is less than 50% chance of that happening.

Canucks:
AHL guys overwhelmingly likely to hit waivers & are semi-notables for organizational depth:
Wolanin, Brisebois, Woo, Patera
Unlikely but has to be at least one of them depending on 13f vs 8D. Or injuries, bad camp, someone else unexpectedly steals a spot bumping more than 1 down, etc:
Sprong, Aman, PDG (current 12-14th forwards)
Friedman, Juulsen (current 7-8D)
So it’s most likely Friedman in VAN. And I don’t think teams will be choosing to grab him over younger, more physical alternatives from other teams.
You can see why VAN jumped the Podkolzin thing. Aman fits a positional need better for a depth F, and PDG is always good in training camp.

SJS- at least 1 of: Kostin, Grundstrom, Bailey if Askarov makes the NHL roster possibly others if more prospect F's also.
WPG-Rasmus Kupari
CGY-Walker Duehr (again)
UTA-Victor Soderstrom (is he waiver-exempt if/when he signs an RFA deal?: age 23, signed ELC at 18, played in parts of 4 NHL season; 4, 16, 30, and 3 games played for a total of 53) I am assuming he is exempt; but am I missing something?

Kings will be waiving two of Moverare, Englund, Caleb Jones or Burroughs on defense. Copley likely waived in net. Forwards look safe, unless Kaliyev signs and either he or Turcotte or Thomas struggles in camp.

Gotta figure Patrick Brown & Vinni Lettieri will be waived by the B's and sent down to Providence.
With Brossoit injury Soderblom might hit waivers later than the other goalies and clear if all the spots are filled.
CAR- Martin
CGY- Cooley
FLA- Driedger
LAK- Copley
SJS- Vanecek
TOR- Murray
UTA- Villata/Stauber
WPG- Comrie
WSH- Shepard
There aren't many NHL roster spots availabe for 2nd/3rd goalies as of now. Possibly Edmonton, Tampa Bay, Boston (if Swayman holds out), or Vancouver (Demko injury). Training camp injuries will impact that however.

Perry might get waived as well for cap purposes. Don't think anyone claims him.
Also, Rodrigue might need to be waived as well

I don’t know. I definitely think it’s 99% likely he’s on the team but tocchet likes PDG and maybe management decides to run 8D.
I think he needs a strong camp.
The other 11F are locks.
VAN might be active looking on waivers if there’s a right hand shot C and/or 6/7 defensive minded LHD given Soucy/Forbort’s injury record. And a goalie if they don’t sign anyone here.

What about Alex Steeves? Is he eligible? Is he worth the gamble?

I thought Kostin did well in SJ? Man would I love to get him back on the Oilers.

From the Leafs - Timmins, Steeves, Murray. If Robertson signs for <1.275M they probably keep Timmins up.
