Waived: 2017-18 Ongoing Waivers Thread

[The Nuge]

Jussi was really good when he was with the Pens but I guess that was 4 years ago and I honestly haven't seen him play this year but the numbers dont look pretty. I still wouldn't be upset if they took a flier on him.

He’s been terrible. We were hoping last year was a down year and that he’d bounce back, and worst case he stays as a 30 something point 3rd liner. It wasn’t a down year though. It’s a trend. I’m thrilled we were able to get Cammalleri for him. I really can’t see any GM who’s watched him this year taking a chance on him

 

[Mestaruus]

I think someone will give Jokinen a chance. No big risk with so low cap hit right?

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Jussi was horrible for the Oilers; game in and game out, it just seemed like he couldn't make simple plays or skate at the NHL level

Speaking of which, how has Cammalleri been? I always liked him with the Flames.

Haven't followed Columbus recently, but isn't their play style (hard, fast, grinding, brute force) the opposite of what Jussi Jokinen represents?

Gagner worked pretty well for them, I'll assume they'll try JJ in a similar depth scoring role.

Hes been okay. Definitly a shell of his former self..but he provides some good veteran savy that the Oilers can use.

Think he'll be re-signed?

I'm not clear on why Chaput was waived - is it because the 'nucks needed to open up a spot for a day or so?

They need a roster spot for Bo Horvat who returned from injury last night. Presumably they weren't 100% on Horvat ready for Sunday nights game so they held off on waiving Chaput in case they needed him, than designated him as non-roster once they were sure. At least that's my guess at it.

Makes sense - thanks Caley!

McLeod will probably have interest, no? Hasn't played in the AHL in 10 years, suitable 13th F.

He's basically done tbh. His only use really is as a fighter and there isn't many of those guys left.

lol wow.

mps could be helpful for a lot of team. brings a lot of speed to the bottom 6.

Tampa should definitely put a claim in, we lost two forwards on waivers already so are getting thin depth wise. Would allow us to return a player to the AHL. He's Swedish though and we've had an allergy to Swedish forwards for years.

He is allergic to scoring and handling the puck, so it may balance out. But he loves wrap arounds.

That's fine, we just need a 4th line body really.
