Jake Lucchini Placed On Waivers​

JANUARY 17, 2023 AT 1:10 PM CDT | BY GAVIN LEE LEAVE A COMMENT

The Ottawa Senators have placed Jake Lucchini on waivers today according to Chris Johnston of NorthStar Bets, which would allow them to return him to the minor leagues. The depth forward already cleared earlier this season, but played his 11th game of the year last night, meaning his status has reset.
Lucchini, 27, received his first taste of NHL action this season, after toiling in the minor leagues since 2018. Stops in Wilke-Barre/Scranton and Laval didn’t go very well, but the undrafted center exploded last year for the Belleville Senators, scoring 20 goals and 51 points in 72 games. After starting this season on an even better pace, he has managed to carve out a small role in the Ottawa depth chart.
Though he likely won’t be an impact player for them, Lucchini will probably see some more NHL action at some point down the road.

I'd keep him in over Watson.
