Dazzle Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 There are some familiar names on that list. Has David Backes really lost that much of a step to be waived by Anaheim? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I would think most will be on Taxi squads Eriksson and Bear will be soon Edited January 8, 2021 by Mackcanuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll recall him after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has David Backes really lost that much of a step to be waived by Anaheim? I thought the same, but looked up his state on NHL.com. Really fallen off the past 3 years. And he is 36. End of a career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) The only interesting name on waivers -- besides Forsling, Megna, and Backes -- is Jacob MacDonald. He's a little older (27) but he's had back to back to back 55, 43, and 42 point seasons as a defenseman in the AHL. And that 42 point season was cut off at only 56 games last year. Not sure the Canucks make the claim but wouldn't be shocked if someone takes a flier on MacDonald for there taxi squad (unless Taxi Squad members must pass through waivers?!?). He's definitely an intriguing offensive defenseman. Edited January 8, 2021 by Quantum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKirk888 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Drew Shore hasn't played in the NHL since 2017, 14 games with our Canucks. He has been in Europe or Russia since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely an intriguing offensive defenseman. I believe the same rules apply to putting players on the taxi squad as it is to send them to the minors, so yes he would have to pass through waivers to get there. He's probably a Clendening or Pouliot type who can put up the numbers in the AHL, but for whatever reason it just doesn't translate in the NHL. Perhaps they are missing attributes to get the ice time needed to be effective as they would in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too about him in that he could be a Clendening or Pouliot type -- but he's only played 2 NHL games (and has 1 goal in those two games)... so he hasn't really had the chance to prove or disprove him being in that category or not. And good to know about the taxi squad, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
