The Off-Season Waiver Claim Thread: 2024 Edition

[Vector]

It's time for my annual big list of interesting players who may go on waivers. Looking over the rosters, I found that this year has a much smaller than past number of players that are intriguing. So I changed things up and decided to track every player signed to an NHL contract that is waiver eligible and at the bottom of a roster. I also separated out goalies since the Canucks may have a particular interest in goalies. In contrast to forwards and defencemen, the potential goalies are interesting. I've also migrated this list, and will keep it updated, on my NHL Transaction Tracker spreadsheet. As always, I'm open to suggestions.

I'd be very down with a provorov for Poolman and whatever swap.

Still nothing exciting on the waiver wire..

the whatever would have to be joshua, soucy or maybe garland. vancouver would be ~2.5m over the cap even with a 22 man roster

 

[David71]

Blankenburg is a interesting option. Small defenseman but should be in the NHL.

why not take a chance on him smaller but a righty is a plus

 

[VanJack]

Another flock of players will go on the market via the waiver wire before Monday at 4 p.m., the deadline for finalizing NHL rosters for the openers.

But so far as I can tell, the only guy who's been claimed is Jiri Patera from the Canucks. And there's a real possibility that he's the only guy picked up, period. What happened? There's more than a few guys who on the surface could help some of the NHL's bottom-feeders.

But I guess it comes down to contracts and cap space, or both. But really makes you wonder whether the Canucks would even have lost Podkolzin to waivers had they held on to him.

 

[StreetHawk]

How many of the other tweeners in the Pod situation have cleared? Won’t really be able to gage until then. Figure the bottom few teams are waiting for those guys who have more potential upside.

 

[Nucker42]

I do think the better waiver players haven’t been waived yet. Obviously teams holding on as long as they can.

I think the Canucks biggest issue is the defense. We’re an injury away from a Friedman or Juulsen seeing tons of action.

Forebert and Soucy are destined to be injured and I just don’t like those back up options. Not to mention Myers is 36.

Fluery or Blankenberg would both be upgrades imo.

Really hoping the team feels the same way and is looking for an upgrade.

 

[MS]

Not to mention Myers is 36.

Myers is 34.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I wonder if Mason Shaw gets picked up. Personally I’d love him on our 4th line.

 

[StreetHawk]

Teams pretty much limit themselves to 1 5'10 and under Dman.

I mean, look at Stecher. Blank is the same age as Stecher at 26 when he left Van. He's since bounced from Det, AZ, LA, Cal, Edm over the past 4 years (he made more money in Van, and that's with 2 years on an ELC) than the past 4 with other clubs. He had 285 games or so when he left while Blank has like less than 1/5 of that at 56. And Stech at 30 just signed in Edm for 6 figures. Each successive contract for him has been a decrease.

It's just how NHL teams view smaller Dmen unfortunately. Not fair, but that's how it is.

 

[Nucker42]

Myers is 34.

Okay I was wrong, still more likely to get injured as he’s older.

Strategy is either to send the kid down early before teams get a look, or teams will aim to flood the market with all of them at the same time and hope their guy(s) gets through as the bottom clubs take 1-2 other guys during the frenzy.

[MS]

Lots of ex-Canucks there.

Samuel Poulin was drafted by Rutherford/Allvin and I've wondered a few times if some sort of Poulin for Woo-type deal would ever be on the cards.

 

[sting101]

I would be calling Buffalo about Ryan Johnson.

I believe this is his last year of waiver eligibility and with Dahlin Power Samuelsson Byram Clague and Bryson they have a slew of left shot defenders.
Even Kale Clague would be a good placeholder and decent puck mover with Desharnais if Forbort continues to look like Dekeyser.

Boring 3/4 LD but great skater smart and safe (wont take many penalties) as opposed to what Forbort looks like

 

[TruGr1t]

I'll be moderately annoyed if we can't find another LS defenseman considering it is now basically fait accompli we start the season in LTIR. The other option is to carry a fuller roster and probably only demote one of Juulsen, Friedman, Raty, Bains and Aman. I see no reason to carry all those guys around when you could maybe upgrade the bottom pair left-side.

If they do end up on LTIR, I believe they'll try to get out of it as soon as they can so they can make a bigger deal further down the line. For instance, they can start with a 23/23 roster (three goalies with Demko not on IR), Bains, Raty, and Aman all on the roster and only Suter on LTIR. Then as soon as he's healthy send both Bains and Raty down while also getting under the salary cap.

But who knows, interesting times before Monday.

Frankly, I'd rather see them give someone like Kudryavtsev or McWard a shot with the big club; before picking up another journeyman d-man on the waiver wire.

Besides, unless it's somebody earning $1m or less, I'm not sure how the Canucks could even fit him in under the cap.

 

[David71]

the club has until october 7 or 8th to submit their final 23 man roster. maybe allvin will look at the waiver wire to claim a few body. defenseman preferably.

For anyone curious like I was, opening day rosters have to be submitted by Monday, Oct 7th, 2pm PST.

Or the 8th.
