I hope Calgary goes after him. Checks a lot of boxes of what we are looking for.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Montreal should claim him, so they can put him on the top line and give him first pp minutes.

 

[greasysnapper]

I could maybe see him getting poached here. It's at a very precarious position near the TDL and people might want to maintain their roster spots but he's a suitable bottom 6 option for teams in a pinch, especially if teams are suffering from injury. He's not bad. This is probably one of the first waives in 2020 where I have to really stop and think "would I?"

What's really saving him for Florida is the fact that we're so close to that TDL.

His numbers aren't great, but they aren't awful either.

and then have him score a few pts (because he's playing top minutes) and then overhype him and trade him to a dumb GM for a 2nd

I was only hoping for a 4th, but I'll take a 2nd.

I'd be shocked if anyone deals a 2nd for Kovy. Best bet would be a 3rd in 2020 and a 7th in 2021.

 

[RainingRats]

He’s worth taking a chance on. He adds some grit to the bottom 6. Unfortunately he can’t stay healthy and makes stupid decisions from time to time.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I wouldn’t waste a contract spot on Hawryluk. Scoring black hole.

 

[boredmale]

How is he defensively? Islanders can use a 3rd/4th line center

 

[LeafChief]

I would easily claim him and have him play over Gauthier on the 4th line. Leafs don't need him to score. They would just need him to play with some jam.

 

[Gecklund]

Maybe Sharks can claim him since they have 3 top line forwards out.

 

[Pulock6NYI]

Well, he's free. Played with Pulock in Brandon.

 

[MintyFresh88]

played well under Boughner last season as well...this is my guess.

 

[uncleben]

Can easily see him being claimed.

This close to the TDL, at the very least, there will be a couple teams looking for reliable depth before the ship out a number of roster players

 

[Cor]

Yeah, I can see him being claimed.

would take him on the Leafs 4th line

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

almost 15 hits per 60 minutes, Rangers could use that.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Rangers need an upgrade in depth. I hope they claim him

 

[kerrabria]

How is he defensively? Islanders can use a 3rd/4th line center

He's a 4th line winger only. And he gives effort in all aspects of the game, but idk if I'd even want him on the PK

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Hope Kings claim him so we can keep the kids in the ahl for the playoff hunt. We may need a warm body on the bottom 6 if they can get rid of a few vets

 

[jaric1862]

He’ll get claimed for sure

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I would easily claim him and have him play over Gauthier on the 4th line. Leafs don't need him to score. They would just need him to play with some jam.

He would play over Timashov, not Gauthier.

Hawryluk is not a center.

I would take him to compete with Timashov. We have enough injuries right now where we might as well see if he can turn into an asset for next year, or makes Timashov available for a trade.

I doubt he makes it to us though. Some bottom feeder will give him a shot.

 

[BillR10]

Cant see him getting past the sharks on the waiver priority if he makes it to them in the first place. Hes still young enough with some upside to fit the auditions for next years team.

 

[PensandCaps]

caught some games of his, looks like a decent NHL 4th liner.

 

[caley]

I've seen three teams bandied about for him on the Twitters
-Vancouver: Had previous interest in him, but I can't see them dumping someone off their current roster to make room for him.
-San Jose: Played quite a bit for Bob Boughner when the latter coached in Florida. Sharks are probably looking for warm bodies as they play out the stretch.
-Winnipeg: I'm guessing maybe the Manitoba connection? (He played 200+ games for the Brandon Wheat Kings)
