Speculation: Noah Juulsen on waivers?

[FedorTyutin]

Hey guys,

Habs training camp opened up today. Juulsen skates among the Group B, AKA the AHL guys : Lines and D pairings: Jan. 4

Pretty sure they will try to bury him in Laval to play, but this year, he has to go through waivers. MB spoke as much in the JiC TV show, considering Juulsen was not a part of his regular defensemen.

This is something that worries me quite a bit because I am still very positive about this guy, he showed up lots of good stuff when he was healthy, and now he had quite some time to rest.

So just in order to either confirm my fears or make me debuzz from this anxiety, I wanna know if your team would claim him or not on the waivers and why yes or why not.

I think teams could think that taking this guy would steal somebody else's spot, but he is not expensive at all and can play at pro level for sure.

Let's enjoy this convo !

One of the lower teams will without a doubt pick him up if he gets waived.

Flames would not pick him up though as we are already deep with little cap room

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I like Juulsen. Has some upside as a good bottom pair guy.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

If he's waived, so ends one part of the Habs players constantly thrown into trade proposals we hope....

Constantly in trade proposals you say? Avs will pick him up to package him with Jost. We moved Zadorov, so will need to pair Jost with someone new.

 

[fahad203]

If he does get waived not sure if he'll get picked up. There will be plenty of good 'fillers' on waivers this year

 

[themelkman]

Someone might take him. Gotta be a team out there with no bottom pairing D man

 

[Legend123]

Juulsen was vey good pre injury. No way we giving up early on him Unless we're forced to

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Probably not
Canadian teams dont have cap space or roster space, and if an american team were to pick him up, they would have to wait 2 weeks for Juulsen to quarantine.
Probably not worth the trouble when teams have pretty much fully healthy rosters

I’d take him on SJ if Merkley isn’t ready

You don't think the Senators have room on their blue line for him?

Juulsen won't be put on waivers .

 

[themelkman]

I wouldnt really. We have guys coming that are fine 7D.

 

[Gecklund]

I wouldnt really. We have guys coming that are fine 7D.

None on the right, and none that could be 6D.

 

[themelkman]

None on the right, and none that could be 6D.

Hm I could have sworn Juulsen was left handed but right hander does make him slightly more attractive

 

[Rafafouille]

Teams are sure lining up to claim a guy who's played 37 games in 2 years and still isn't exactly sure to be able to play hockey long-term with the headache concerns. Then even if he comes back 100%, his ceiling is probably a #4 shutdown D.

Liked the pick at the time but his draft year was his peak. He never really improved since 2015 and I don't see why a team would waste a spot on a very long shot with little potential of high reward. Don't see a future for him outside of the AHL.

 

[Tatar Shots]

I doubt anyone will claim him. He wasn’t exactly anything special before all of his injuries

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

You don't think the Senators have room on their blue line for him?

They already have a 23 player roster + have several prospects that could potentially make it.

Brannstrom will probably not make their roster, so I dont see why they would claim Juulsen and play him in the nhl over Brannstrom.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I wish we could give him another chance. He didn't really have a "shot" or opportunity here.

 

[Boud]

I doubt he even gets picked up on waivers tbh. Maybe to be on a taxi squad but pretty much all teams already have that type of player on their AHL roster.

They will not claim Juulsen.

 

[Breakers]

The old....... the sky is falling because a former 1st round pick is about to be put on waivers.

he’ll clear.

 

[FloJack]

I assume the waiver wire might be less predatory this year as many teams are in the same boat and I wouldn't put any backdoor handshake agreements to not pickup players in situations like this past any of the old boys clubbers running these teams.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

If he doesn’t earn a roster spot he will be waived. Makes zero sense to waive beforre training camp.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

He'll get waived and he'll clear, since he would have to stay on the claiming team's roster. I can't see anyone taking up a spot for him.

I would. I'd rather have Juulsen than Reilly by a significant margin.
