Waived: 2017-18 Ongoing Waivers Thread

[Canada4Gold]

Nick Leddy for TJ Brennan (Gone), Anders Nilsson (Gone) and Pokka (Waived).

Could be worse. At least that one was forced. At least you didn't trade Seguin for what currently amounts to nothing.

I was super high on Pokka as an islanders prospect. I thought he was a safe bet to be an NHL Defensman. He's still young and can still make it. I'm just surprised the Hawks are waiving him.

Yeah, at the time of his drafting he was seen as one of the best d-prospects out of Finland.. i even remember vets on his team in Liiga saying this kid will be good etc.

Since 13-14 he's been more or less spinning his wheels. Too slow for the NHL game skating-wise, and his head is probably a bit too slow too.

At this point in time i'd say his future is in the KHL (or somewhere else in Europe). The kid can be good on the bigger ice with more time to make decisions and the game slows down just enough for him in lesser leagues. But in terms of NHL, doesn't look like there's much upside.

That's the end of Holland in the NHL barring injuries

 

[Canuck86]

all 7 players on waivers today should clear also no?

I could see a team taking a chance on Rodin but other than him I'd be surprised to see anyone picked up

 

[Leafsmann]

Who's the best player that will be on waivers this year?

Someone might have taken a chance on Holland if he was signed for only 1 year @ $1M. No one is going to claim a marginal player with 2 years left on a contract.

To respond to that tweet, De La Rose probably takes the 4C spot tonight.

I like Rodin a lot.

I wonder if he would prefer to go back to Sweden than to the 'A.

I remember hearing during the summer that it was NHL or Sweden for him.

Montreal Canadiens have placed LW Daniel Carr and C Peter Holland on waivers.

I’ll be surprised if Carr clears.

 

[Skobel24]

Can't think of any teams that need a bottom 6 center. Maybe Pittsburgh, but I doubt they'd take Holland. He'll clear.

Holland is cheap but two years one way . He has a chance to get claimed

 

[CuriousGeorge]

Both will clear.

The thing is, if anyone claims him, they'd claim him for their NHL roster. If they wanted to send him down, they'd need to immediately waive him again. He's an okay option for the bottom 6, but just about every team has a few guys that can fill the role he does.

I think they'll both clear.

No one takes Carr. He is a dime a dozen player.

Seriously. If Carr were any good he'd not be on waivers right now. Only way he gets claimed is if a team desperately needs forwards to fill in their roster.

Agreed, and even if they were desperate, there are better options than Carr.
