The best player in your team's history to be placed on waivers...

[Dubi Doo]

This may be interesting. Jason Pominville was placed on waivers during his early years in Buffalo. Shoot!

I remember when the Oilers put Ray Whitney on waivers back in the late 90's. They had problems with secondary scoring and barely gave him a chance, then put him on waivers. I was not very happy at the time, thought it was a dumb move.

Souray because him and lowe were having a lover's quarrel was pretty good too.

Mike Hoffman was once on waivers

Best I can think of off the top of my head for the Penguins is Colby Armstrong. Former 1st round pick that didn't make the team out of camp, cleared, then got called up later in the season and went almost a point-per-game in 40-some NHL games. Of course that was with Sid and nobody expected him to keep that up.

The Islanders got Thomas Hickey off of waivers about 7 years ago. He’s still with the team.

Yep, I remember he was considered a reach by the Kings at #4 overall in 2007. He never panned out for them, but, as mentioned, has established a decent career for himself.

Danny Briere for the Coyotes.

Not sure if he ever amounted to anything ...

San Jose waived Thomas Greiss around summer of 2010 and he cleared. Now he leads the NHL in SV%.

I remember Markstrom being placed on waivers early in preseason a few years back. It was actually kind of a shrewd move. He played a preseason game that wasn't televised with very few media around (I believe it was in Sacramento), and they waived him to get him back to Utica to be their starter (Miller and Lack with the Canucks that year). He was the main piece coming back in the Luongo deal just a few months earlier, so if he was claimed the optics of that could have been really bad.

This year, Markstrom is the Canucks MVP. Pettersson is close behind, but Markstrom has been a revelation.

Wait that’s not Paul Byron!

If you pan out the photo a bit, you’ll see how short he is. Never gonna make it in the nhl.

Flames almost sent ROR through waivers with that offer sheet too.

The Ducks actually lost Chris Kunitz on waivers in the 05-06 season, only to reclaim him a couple weeks later. He went on to play on our top line on the cup winning team just 1 season later.

Devils put Brian Rolston on waivers... pretty much at the end of his career though.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Off the top of my head Tomas Vokoun and Francois Beauchemin
