They traded Jenik for him and now waive him. I bet Columbus picks him up.

 

[Leafidelity]

UT definitely didnt put it off

 

[Kshahdoo]

Should probably get back to Russia.

Wouldn't be the first time we gave him a look, if it happens.

 

[ViD]

Should probably get back to Russia.

Same goes for Denisenko

They had previously waived Jenik too. It was a change of scenery trade for all parties.

As a sens fan this saddens me. This guy is a great human being. Unfortunately great human being isn't an NHL skillset.

Wish him all the best wherever he lands, always.

Should probably get back to Russia.

Perhaps next season, but with KHL already in full swing, may as well play out this season riding the waiver bus and hope for an opportunity to open up and make most of it.

He's going to Tucson! This was expected when they traded for him. No NHL team will pick him up.

Seems to love the life in NA. I'll bet he works minimum wage retail before he goes back.

Always like this player. With Laine injury,maybe Habs could give him a try.He is a snipper.

GMs aren’t evil men. Many of these type of waivers, are to give players an opportunity to play in the NHL somewhere else. They’re definitely not in their current team’s NHL plans. So if Utah picks up Denisenko for example, it’s another chance he wasn’t going to get in Vegas.

It gives a new team the chance to see these players in games before having to make a decision. I’m a little surprised we haven’t see more players claimed in these early waivers, but teams have also spent all summer putting their own rosters together, they have their own tough decisions to make. So it’s tough unless they’re looking for a certain trait, like maybe a really good PKer, etc.

I don't think he will go back.

Don't foreign players play on a special "athlete visa"? If they stop sports, they would be deported?

Some better players will get waived closer to the start of the season

Janik has looked great for sens in preseason so far and has made a solid case for consideration as our 4C. Not sure if we should expect that to continue or if it's just the new team adrenaline bump.

Really hope socks can carve out a career somewhere. He's had success before and we're rooting for him.
