Claimed off Waivers: [SJS] Rudolfs Balcers claimed off waivers by the Sharks

[Hale The Villain]

At LW Ottawa has Formenton,Paul,Stu and Tkachuk....He wasnt going to make the top 6 and really isnt suited for a bottom 6 role...So while a loss it was one Ottawa had to accept...Good on SJ for picking him back up,and great to see him playing good for them

Saying he's not a fit for the bottom 6 is such an outdated way of thinking. Is it 2007 in your mind?

Teams no longer have skill players just in their top 6 with defensive guys filling out the rest of the roster.

No reason a player like Balcers can't play in the bottom 6 but Anisimov or Galchenyuk can, and those are the players that supposedly "made the team" ahead of him. Formenton hasn't played a game this year so he wasn't blocking anyone.
