Speculation: Predict your team's Waiver Wire Dmen this camp

[DL44]

Which Dmen will you team try to sneak thru waivers this camp?
Will your team keep 7 or 8 D on the 23 man opening day roster?
Who are the Dmen you think may need to get exposed this camp?

Purpose: To see what the waiver market will look like for Dmen this fall.


i.e. Canucks.

NHL: Edler, Tanev, Gudbranson, Sbisa, Tryamkin, Hutton, Larsen, Pedan, Biega... Juolevi
AHL: Waiver eligible players are Chad Billins, Tom Nilsson.


We have 9 contracted with Juolevi as the 10th. We will likely carry 8 into the season.
Of the 9 above listed.. only Tryamkin is waiver exempt.
The catch: Tryamkin, Larsen both have KHL out clauses if they get sent to down... so virtual locks barring disastrous camps.

Which means: likely one of Pedan (23) or Biega(28) gets waived.

Canuck prediction: Billins, Nilsson, Biega will hit the waiver wire.


What's the situation looking like with your teams' dmen?

Waiver exempt players clearly maked with the green arrows on capfriendly for anyone curious about their teams.. "

[SLAPSHOT723]

Unlikely, but maybe Mayfield.

 

[DL44]

Unlikely, but maybe Mayfield.

NHL : Boychuk, Leddy, Hamonic, Hickey, De Haan, Mayfield
-- Exempt: Pulock, Pelech

Yeah looks like Islanders will be fine.

 

[DopeyFish]

Frankie Corrado for the Leafs

*maybe*

 

[Some Other Flame]

Good chance Wotherspoon from the Flames is waived given their love affair with veterans.

 

[Starat327]

MacDonald will likely be sent down again. Manning may, but he is more likely going to stick simply because we purposely signed him to meet expansion draft requirements. I don't think the organization would be heartbroken to lose him on waivers, but I think two of the rookies would really have to impress for it to happen.

 

[Stand Witness]

Corrado will likely hit the waiver wire for the Leafs. Doubtful he wins himself a spot when the top 7 seems to be locked up at this point.

 

[uncleben]

As mentioned, Corrado. If not him then Carrick, but I really imagine it'll be Corrado.


Penguins have Schultz and Pouliot* playing for 7th and then Percy, Ruhwedel, Oleksy, Gaunce, Erixon, Warsofsky, and McNeill needing waivers.

*Pouliot is waiver exempt, but likely to bump down all the other waiver eligible players.

 

[Dabeast]

Kindl/Kampfer (More likely Kindl imo)

 

[kilowatt]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Derek Forbort for the Kings, unfortunately.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Derek Forbort for the Kings, unfortunately.

A smart team should claim him. He's no Gormley... he's a quality young defenseman not getting an opportunity.

 

[Leafs87]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Derek Forbort for the Kings, unfortunately.

i could see him outplaying scuderi

 

[KingCanadain1976]

i could see him outplaying scuderi

we have drew McNabb Martinez muzzin making the team for sure Gilbert trotman gravel forbort greene scuderi trying for 3 spots It will most likely imo come down to forbort and Trotman for 7th defenseman.Greene and Scuderi will be waiver fodder

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I thought maybe Ryan Sproul for Detroit, But seeing that both Kronwall and Ericsson are hurting i could see Holland go with 8 D-men instead of 7 to start the season. Maybe go with 13 Forwards 8 Defenseman 2 Goaltenders would be my guess with Ouellet and Sproul being added to the D.

 

[MXD]

Habs : One of Redmond, Barberio or Pateryn.
Probably Redmond.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

2 Jeff Schultz, Nate Guenin, Andrew O'Brien...maybe Korbinian Holzer but he's likely to be on the roster.

 

[Teemu]

Viktor Svedberg
Cam Schilling

Rozsival will probably be waived at some point, but they may wait until he hits his 40/70 threshold. Forsling may force their hand, though.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

For Detroit right now probably just Nick Jensen. I think that Sproul might be safe for now with Kronwall and Ericsson hurting.

 

[McWeber]

For the Oilers David Musil and/or Mark Fayne.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Prosser or Folin if Waiver exempt Reilly makes the team. I suspect Reilly will start in the AHL however, and they will rotate as 6th/7th D.

 

[TheNewEra]

praying that its borowiecki

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Any of the possible waiver guys look like they have potential to be a top 4 defenseman in a couple years, just not the near future?

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Any of the possible waiver guys look like they have potential to be a top 4 defenseman in a couple years, just not the near future?

I could see derek forbort developing into a solid 4 defensive defenseman

 

[Curufinwe]

MacDonald will likely be sent down again.

Bill Meltzer thinks they really don't want to do that.

Yeah it would suck to lose d man like him for nothing to waivers
