Speculation: October Waiver Candidates

[Oskar The Groucho]

This year's crop of waiver wire candidates will be from the 2011 draft.

Expect if not traded players like Ryan Murphy and Mark McNeill to hit the waiver wire. Who else could be out there ?

Murphy probably has a spot on the roster unless someone else is signed

 

[xECK29x]

Scott Mayfield of the Isles is one, good chance he would be claimed, obviously Berube as well if we can't move Halak.

 

[Zippy316]

For the Devils, either Kinkaid or Wedgewood will see waivers next year.

Seth Helgeson will probably make the NHL next year as a #7, but he's a potential candidate. Reid Boucher requires waivers but he's likely on the NHL team as well.

 

[Skobel24]

I believe Wotherspoon has to go through waivers now.

 

[edguy]

Matt Puempel needs waivers in Ottawa. Very well could hit them too

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Is Siemens going to make the Avs?

Also Niklas Jensen and Adam Clendening if they doesn't make the Rangers.

 

[IComeInPeace]

Big Andrey Pedan from the Nucks.
Unless he really stinks in camp, he'll likely make the team as a press box guy, but barring a miraculous off-season of preparation, it's only a matter of time before he's waived.

edit: with the Oilers signing Lucic, and the Nucks lacking toughness, he might make the team as a 7th d-man or even as a 13th forward.

Scott Mayfield of the Isles is one, good chance he would be claimed, obviously Berube as well if we can't move Halak.

I think the leafs would be all over that

 

[suddeninterest]

Is the waiver priority the same from the end of last season? Or how does that work.

 

[DaveG]

Murphy won't be a waiver wire guy unless the Canes go out and sign 2 dmen. After ditching Wiz and not qualifying Jordan it seems like Canes management is projecting him as the #6/7 guy, depending on who else we might sign.

 

[funky]

possibly Forbert (D) from the Kings

 

[Andrew Mack]

One of Frank Corrado or Connor Carrick from the Leafs is hitting waivers. Probably the former, but you never know how camp goes.

Josh Leivo is a good bet as well.

 

[dubey]

Radulov

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Radulov

Crosby

 

[tucker3434]

Siemens I suppose. But if he can't crack the Avs defensive lineup, doubt anyone else would want him.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Brian Strait for sure, hoping Stuart, Thorburn and Peluso are also candidates.

 

[Rhodes 81]

Brian Strait for sure, hoping Stuart, Thorburn and Peluso are also candidates.

I find it hilarious that Thorburn is still cashing a month of playing on a line with Kovalchuk into an NHL career.

 

[suddeninterest]

One or both of Dillon Simpson and David Musil for the Oilers. Simpson had a pretty good year in the AHL last year and showed good progression. If I had to guess I'd say Simpson sticks as the 7/8/Pressbox guy and Musil gets waived.

 

[hockeykicker]

Stanislav Galiev

 

[Mr Misty]

This might be Oleksiak's year but if anybody wanted him they'd have gotten him cheap by now.

 

[pierre gagnon*]

Radulov

Lol, well if he goes out on the town and lets strippers drive at 5 am

 

[Avsblitzkrieg]

Is Siemens going to make the Avs?

Also Niklas Jensen and Adam Clendening if they doesn't make the Rangers.

Siemens is going to get a extensive look this year. I'd say it's good chance he'll start the year with the club and depending on how it goes.

 

[ziploc]

One of Frank Corrado or Connor Carrick from the Leafs is hitting waivers. Probably the former, but you never know how camp goes.

Josh Leivo is a good bet as well.

Be funny if the Canucks took Corrado back.

 

[Rebels57]

Outside chance Nick Cousins of the Flyers hits waivers if he has a poor camp and slow start. Doubtful but you never know.
