Speculation: Waiver Wire - Which player are you most concerned about losing?

[Skobel24]

Jets: Hutchinson if we decide to roll with Pavs and Hellebuyck

I don't think he'd be claimed. Nobody needs a goalie right now.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Kings - maybe Budaj, but he's already cleared, so no worries.

Nobody else would really be a loss.

You can even have Forbort if you want him.

I'm pretty sure that he'd be better than Boro or Wideman... but I havent followed his development in like 2-3 years, so he could have derailed completely since then

 

[backburner]

flyers: macdonald

 

[Aceboogie]

None. Last year was Davidson and thank god we didnt waive him

This year who cares. Wouldnt lose sleep

 

[LAPPY13]

For the Islanders if Mathew Barzel makes the team its very possible that Alan Quine might be sent down and he would need to clear waivers.

Really not sure if any of the other 29 teams would be interested but the kid showed in the playoffs he might have some potential

 

[Skobel24]

Mark McNeill seems destined for the wire and its never fun losing a first round pick

Nobody is claiming him. He's a mediocre prospect and everyone has someone similar.

 

[jaric1862]

Leivo for the leafs but I doubt they waive him

Gonna have to waive someone

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Tyler Wotherspoon for the Flames, I guess. Could end up being a 4th dman, maybe.

 

[Pip]

Canucks: Nobody.

Don't see anything in Pedan. Biega most likely won't get claimed. Etem is proving to be a borderline NHLer with limited upside. Granlund looks okay and I still wouldn't really care if we lost him on waivers.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Gonna have to waive someone

Why ?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Gonna have to waive someone

How abut Greening who won't be claimed. Or Polak and keep 14 forwards. Or Holland who already cleared in the summer.

I think we'd be pretty dumb to waive Leivo myself.

 

[McFlyingV]

Jets: Hutchinson if we decide to roll with Pavs and Hellebuyck

I'd gladly take him in Edmonton with the way that Gustavsson has looked this preseason

 

[Mad Brills*]

It's leivo.

Leispic will be sent down.

 

[NotYou]

For the wild folin is the only one I'd care about. He'd be nice to have around but he's had his chances so if he doesn't make the team it's probably because he isn't that good.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Tim Heed for sure for the Sharks. Talented offensive RHD who is essentially already developed. Has shown well in camp but we have 6 NHL defensemen plus DeMelo, who belongs in the NHL and would be disastrous to lose for nothing.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Canucks -- Andrei Pedan. Etem and Biega are the other possibilities, but I wouldn't miss them.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I'm pretty sure that he'd be better than Boro or Wideman... but I havent followed his development in like 2-3 years, so he could have derailed completely since then

Their sixth round UND grad Paul LaDue has looked better than Forbort in my limited viewing.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Rangers - Hrivik, Jensen, McIlrath (especially with how Clendening's been playing)

Agree with this, especially McIlrath. I don't need any of those three guys on the team, but I do want to get some value for them and not lose them for nothing.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I'd hate to lose him for nothing, though. But if Lehkonen and/or Carr are better and make their case then there isn't much you can do.

There is room for all 3 easily. If we need to make room for McCarron as well, Flynn is the one who will be waived, not Andrighetto.

My worry is Barberio. He was great for the Habs last season but Redmond and Sergachev are challenging him for a spot.

 

[thadd]

The only guy the Oilers can really worry about losing is Yakupov... and it's not like I'd care a whole lot if we lost him to waivers at this point... it's just so concerning that stupid former management wasted a 1st overall pick.

 

[Volica]

Tyler Wotherspoon for the Flames, I guess. Could end up being a 4th dman, maybe.

I don't think so. Tyler played himself onto this team.

 

[SaintMorose]

For the Flames obviously Kucherov

(assuming we decide to offer sheet him after he plays a couple games in the KHL to stay in game shape)

 

[BPD Habs Fan]

I know some habs fans have said Andrighetto but I am not concerned about losing him or anyone else. Even if he went to waivers to me he is just a dime a dozen player.

 

[fmrdh]

Joel Armia

 

[Vitto79]

Is berube going to be waived ? Or Hutchinson ? Who needs a backup ?
