Ossi Vaananen Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Canucks passed on all. Don't know about Griffith though, as he was taken by Leafs (ahead of us in waiver wire). EDIT: One more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm guessing our roster was just too full. Would have liked a couple of those players but we didn't miss out on any guaranteed impact players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I really would have liked us to be able to snag Griffith. Small, yes, but he was racking up points in the AHL. Damn you, Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 The Canes have picked up Martin Frk, Dahlback, and Nakladal for free in the last few days. Talk about dumpster diving. That said, if just one turns into a player for them, it would be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Damn Griffith would have been a good claim. Not surprised he didn't slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10pavelbure96 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So let me get this straight. Someone enlighten me please. Since TML picked up Griffith, they now go to the bottom of the waiver list and we are now 2nd behind Edmonton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't go to the bottom of the waiver list no matter how many players you claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I think (not sure) that the Condon claim by Pitt screws MTL out of an expansion eligible goalie. We'll see more of this in the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Actually kinda surprised we didn't pick anyone up. I'm not convinced we have either enough scoring for this season, nor enough potential top-six talent for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning might have put in a claim for Griffith as he is familiar with the player from his Bruin days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I was hoping Benning would have sent Etem down to try out Pulkkinen off waivers, seems like a lot more upside there but with no waiver pickups it makes me think JB has a solid idea what he wants out of this year. Not going to be a lot of experimentation apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think you can pick up a player off waivers and then waive them again. You can waive them again, but the team who first waived them has first priority. In the context of calling them a 'player' I was referring to having a contribution to the Canes, of being a threat to score or having a significant role in the lineup. Not many waiver claims do that.
